I hope everyone is okay in this crazy times …
It looks like business travel is about to start as most C19-related restrictions are about to be lifted. While I enjoy meeting again real people, it raises again a dilemma for me: in case of disaster my way home will be 100+ miles – without a car (as I need to travel by plane and/or train).
Question is: what to bring on the journey that would help me get home – mostly on foot or ride-sharing, if there is such a choice?
If I would travel by car, I would bring my go bag and plenty of supplies – and would be mobile to a certain degree and situation (blocked roads, etc.).
As traveling by car is not an option, I’m pretty limited in carrying capacity: basically a 30+ liter backpack and a carry-on rolling suitcase.
I need to make some assumptions, and one is: I will get shelter in (sub-) urban areas, so I will not bring outdoor shelter gear such as a tent or a tarp, but will have a sleeping bag & some ground isolation.
Has anyone of you considered such a balance between very long distances and limited gear & supply capacity? What do you bring with you, what are you going to leave at home, etc.?
Sure, following the rules of 3, P.A:C.E. 10C’s, etc. helps, as do reading a lot about thruhikers and their ultralight gear, etc. – but it’s still a challenge. Your input is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
