Steel Camping
when living in the rockie mountains for 2 months, what do i bring?
i have an air rifle, 2 survival knives, a pocket knife, a lighter, a magnesium and steel camping sparker thingie, a day hiking backpack and that's about it. I also have ammo for my air rifle. anything that i shouldn't bring? Any tips? Also, im leaving from an abusive home(maybe permanently) just to find my true, inner self.
I know you don't want to hear it, but you should seriously reconsider.
First off, I would suggest you read a short book. I believe this is a book that will touch your soul, much like it touched mine, "Into the Wild", by Jon Krakauer. It is the story of Christopher McCandless, a young man who graduated from college, gave away over $20,000 in savings, abandoned his car and disappeared. He was found two years later in Alaska, dead, though he had only just arrived there several months before that.
I know from my own experiences as a kid that you aren't going to listen to us and will do what you want anyays. Still, I strongly urge you to think long and hard about your decision. I was young once, I made extremely bad decisions. I thought I could handle anything and that I knew enough to do what I wanted. Looking back, the only reason I'm still here today is dumb luck. I made mistakes, but none of them caught up with me. If they had, I'd be dead.
From your question it does not sound like you have a lot of experience in the wild. I know your instinct is to go straight to the wilderness, but with your experience level and gear, it sounds like a death sentence.
Don't go to the mountains. I know they are beautiful and enchanting, but they are giant rocks and not much grows on rocks. Just because there are trees does not mean you will find edible plants. Mountains often experience more severe weather, both in highs and lows, which is very dangerous. Consider going some place else.
Lastly, consider talking to someone you know. If you don't have anyone to talk to, go to a local church and talk to a priest/reverend/pastor/etc. If they aren't busy and you ask them for help, or even to just listen to your problems, they will. Even if you aren't religious, it is a complete stranger who sit and listen to you for a little while, you don't have to tell them your real name or where you live if you don't want them to call the police (they have to report it if you tell them you are being abused). Saying things outloud to another person is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves when we are in trouble.
Read the book. You are not the first person to have these thoughts and if you seek other people out, they can help you. If you try to go completely alone, the tiniest mistake could kill you.

Eureka Camping Cot $109.95 Enjoy a good night's sleep time and again with the remarkably comfortable Eureka Camping Cot. Designed to take the rough out of roughing it, the cot sports a combination aluminum and steel frame that's sturdy yet lightweight, along with a heavy-duty, 600D x 300D polyester fabric surface that's backed with PVC for added durability. As a result, the cot cushions your body far better than a sleeping pad, but is tough enough to hold up to heavy use through the years. The cot's earthy, dual-tone colors, meanwhile, coordinate beautifully with the Eureka camping chair. Best of all, the cot folds compactly when not in use and stores inside its own polyester carrying bag, making it a breeze to carry. The cot measures 82 by 19 by 32 inches (W x H x D), weighs 17 pounds, 10 ounces, and offers a weight capacity of 325 pounds. |
