Good Morning Gents,
It has been quite some time since I made any posts to this forum, and the first time ever to this sub-forum, however I figured you would be the best lot to ask. As time has progressed I am now in the home-stretch of my high school career, and I am starting to think that maybe it would serve well to do a last-hurrah with the 'mates before going off to university. Now a trek around Europe would be nice, but alas it is not practical, so on a smaller scale I was thinking it advantageous to consider simply a few days, maybe a week, of pure self-sufficience(sp?).
What I am referring to is camping well off the beaten path, not at established sites but rather 'this looks like the spot' type camping. Perhaps even procuring dinner off the land (fish and small game... [mmmumm-mmm rabbit stew]). The best way I can describe it is 'Hell' from the first 20-minutes of the film 'Tomorrow when the war began'.
I live in New England, but I don't see much of a problem about travelling a little beyond the borders, maybe as far as PA if something exceptional presents. This would be summer, and whilst seclusion is a factor, so are factors such as climate (warm-hot, but neither desert nor tundra!), sight seeing (not just 'hey theres a tree, and another tree, oh a puddle!'), accessibility (10mile hike okay, needing a bush plane to get there, no!), etc.
I'm just firing off ideas, no pun intended, so any ideas that one might have, please put them out there.
Cheers.
