[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1305921, member: 42"] Fully understand the need to get away. Wish I could more. The only suggestions I have is temper your expectations: 127 miles in 14 days equals at least 9 miles a day. Walking through mountainous terrain under a pack combined with daily chores of hygiene, meal prep, water/food gathering, setting up/tearing down camp, lives little time for 'exploring'. Another concern I would have if I was prepping for such a hike is food. You aren't going to carry 14 days worth of food. Living of the land is one thing if you've done it before, but it's a gamble even for the highly experience and practiced experts. Have you checked into the licensing and small game hunting regs/seasons where you are going? What's the dog going to eat? Winter comes early up there.... Good luck, god speed etc.... [/QUOTE]
