I am getting ready to vamoose. I am fitting out an old caravan for solo travelling and hope to be ready to roll first quarter 2016. I plan on keeping it fairly remote, want to be able to enjoy the starlight. The thought of going deep bush is a bit daunting for safety reasons.
I am fitting the van out for a "roughing it" free camping lifestyle. Whilst I am not a "prepper" I have been researching that approach to staying out in the boondies for weeks at a time. Cooking with rice and beans whilst being cheffy enough that I dont dread the evening meals. Bush tucker is good too but I haven't a clue how to gather. As a kiddie I used to take a .22 when we went camping but these days that doesn't seem practical. Hunting seems out of the question unless you want to make a mission of it.
In a previous life I flogged around the scrub in ATVs and regretted I couldn't just stop and talk to the trees. This time I want to dawdle with a camera or sit under a tree with a book or stop and yarn with the folks. Such experience as I do have of bushcraft is probably going to be irrelevant to this new sortie, so I am going to start from scratch. "You know nothin John Snow" I do know the Eastern Goldfields / Kimberlies / Pilbara quite well so would like to make my way up the East Coast for a change.
Look forward to making your acquaintance.
Cheers for now !!
