^oh man. You could get mauled and killed by a bear in the wild while fucking a modified flash light. your mom will be proud.
 
Am I the only one who dreams of taking off 1 day with a backpack full of weed and the normal supply items mentioned in this thread....along with a few hundred seeds........and staying out in the mountains for a very long time? I am talking like a few years. I have dreamt of that since I was a kid. That is the one thing I want to accomplish before I die. I want to live off the grid and start with nothing except what I can carry in. I might want to have a cabin built before hand but still my dream.

Speaking of this dream, since I dont own land in the mountains, where would one go to do something like this where I would not get myself into a heap of trouble? I hate trespassers, but in this case I think you would almost have to if I wanted to carry out this dream. Canada maybe? Throw some idea's at me so when my kids are all grown and gone I can take the wife and go hide for a few years......or maybe forever. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.....no cell phones, no cars, no police, no people judging you everyday, no bill collectors(LOL).....truly a life worth living, that is until I have to fight bears and mountain lions everyday. Still want to give it a go.

My long day hike pack will have

1. emergency kit
-one of them filter drinking straws
-20ft length of parachute cord with a painters hook on the end (tying shoe laces/hanging shit in trees)
-waterproof matches
-headlamp w/ xtra batteries
-sqeeter head net
-serrated pocket knife
-a couple tubes of zipfizz (high energy powder drink)
-zipties
-ancient bag of almonds
-bic lighter
-compass

maybe some other things... I dunno depends on the location, climate, weather

On top of that I'll usually carry between 1 and 3 liters of water depending on the weather.

My camera w/ extra batteries

bag of ganja and my chillum and/or papers

rain shell

apples, chocolate, nuts, trail mix, fruit cups, elk/antelope jerky, cookies, etc...

notebook, 2 pens, and a sharpie



Mostly it depends on where Im going and what time of year. The above is more or less a basic bag of shit that always comes with. I probably missed a bunch of stuff. My bag is all torn apart after this summers abuse

Mine pretty much is the same except instead of a mirror I use a old c.d. I dont pack matches b/c I feel I can get more flame per space with lighters. I usually pack 5 or 6 lighters not including the one in my pocket only Bic's will do. I never leave without Duct tape, foil and the largest roll of dental floss or heavy monofilament for teather. a small bottle of veg oil is pretty handy. a few lightsticks, and a firebrick there basically wax with sawdust nice when you need them. Rubbing alcohol is handy for small stoves to a disenfectent to a drity pipe. and of course my bag of dank with a pipe and papers. ALLWAYS a a bunch of assorted sized fishing hooks they can be a lifesaver

Just a day hike? Umm lighter, weed, bowl, cigs, knife, wallet, boots and clothes. I know my woods pretty damn well though; if I'm going somewhere else it's almost always for at least a couple days.

You guys really carry ALL THAT STUFF when you go hiking!? I wouldn't be able to walk if I were to bring all those things, lol.
I just stick to basics: weed, lighter, water, some food and a knife, that's it.And if I'm able to put it all in my pockets and not carry a backpack that's even better!:tiphat:

weed, bowl, Bic, water bottle, fly rod, fly box, & tippet material was enough the first 63 years. now i add a S&W 442 in .38 +P, and 5 extra rounds. if i have my pants on i have a knife...went fishing exactly once in life and got caught by unexpected thunderstorm. only a mile from the jeep that time though. hard candy & maybe beef jerky if staying until dark...
