The day before, I head out on a three-day wilderness adventure in the backcountry of Canada. Being off-the-grid in the middle of nowhere, the most important thing is being prepared! I have a mini checklist I go through to make sure I am prepared. The three things to make sure you are covered are shelter, food, and gear.
First thing is shelter. Where are you going to stay? For this trip, I have decided I am staying in my truck. I need a pillow, sleeping bags, and anything else you need to rest, depending on how. My vehicle had regular maintenance, was full of gas, and ran well. I am relying on my truck for warmth & shelter. If I was staying in a tent or trailer, there would be other equipment you would need to make sure you had. I am packing light and living off-the-grid with this solo hunt.
The second is gear & equipment. You need to have warm clothing and extra clothing to change into. I bring clothing for each day I am in the wilderness. I am going to Northern Canada, which is fall right now, so it will be cold. I pack long johns, sweaters, insulated coveralls, hats, mitts, and boots. I am taking my compound bow and hunting moose or deer in my native territory. I am helping a brother, "Clipped Wing," to hopefully get his first moose if the Creator blesses us. He had a bad accident years ago and is a paraplegic. I am hoping to get a moose for him.
I always recharge, reconnecting with Mother Nature! I will let you know how it goes!
