Y2K all over again

Thanks. It will I’m just bitching over long delivery times. I am 90% geared. So nearly ready already. :grinning: :grinning:

I presume your talking about travelling around the USA not over here in Europe.
The japanese can do 12 countries in 15 days the speed they go at touring

Yes, and if I have the time and funds parts of British Colombia. :grinning:

@realspeed @wishbone @Barry I only intend on being places a few times where I might need a few days worth of supplies just because going for more may prove to be logistically inconvenient. :grinning:

have been to a couple of places in the USA such as Clearwater and went to the Manatee rescue centre . Done the space centre in Florida and Disney world of course. been to California to Alcatraz and muir woods two seperate holidays of course also the amazing Yosemite National Park well worth a visit

Would love to do the Mississippi river trip but costs too much from the UK

So many places to see in the world but never get, age and costs prevent

been to a couple of places Spain -Italy-Greece-Sicily- Tunisia- Japan- China- Brazil- Norway -Russia- Latvia- Argintina- USA -Germany to name but a few off the top of my head

Great video. I bet that was a great place to see! :grinning: :grinning:

One item I have seen a lot of lately looking up survival gear is:
article-2251757-169BEF22000005DC-972_634x443
Now in a end of world situation I’m not sure gold is going to help. This is 50g of gold and you can break off each square and it is exactly a gram. Kind of nonsensical. :joy:

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by on the road…will you drive to parks and then hike for a few days? Or go on foot most of the way? Will you be among other folk or mostly by yourself? Going deep into natural forests or looking for museums and unusual displays?

Enlighten us a bit more, please. I’d like to know why the survival talk?

Driving but camping rather than hotels. National Parks and nature in between. I will be by myself.

I doubt if I will do any of the touristy stuff, depends. I’m am planning on working my way slowly through Oregon, Washington and then up into BC hopefully.

Ah, now I’m getting a clearer picture. More a wandering rover with common sense mixed with a bit of adventure. I hope you find what you’re looking for, even if you don’t know what it is yet.

Safe travels when you go… :slightly_smiling_face:

Some of the items I take are in case I get stuck in bad weather or other circumstances where I get stuck for any length of time. I carry several “survival” items for these cases. Hence the survival talk, that and the fact that people seem to be doing the Y2K thing again. It’s just as ridiculous now as it was then, but if they keep predicting the fall of society, one of these times they’ll be right.

It sounds brilliant Danny, I have read many travellers accounts and expeditions, I just love them. I hope you will have access to the internet occasionally and post us reports of your progress.
One of my favourite books was Cheryl Strayed who walked most of the ‘Pacific Crest Trail’ having no previous experience. Good luck mate…

Plan on taking all of you with me as much as possible. Virtually of course. :grinning:

I will. I am planning on documenting most of the trip. Hence the recent purchase of a drone and a Go Pro. :grinning: You know I already have the photographic equipment.

Now it makes sense Danny, memories for ever. I take great delight in reliving some of my exploits through reports and photos, although nothing as big as you are planning.

Fortunately because Australia is nearly a day ahead of you we will be able to warn you if the world ends tomorrow.
