*My great adventure* - "I think it's a good idea...

[Amp34]

I'd rather do it in 2 months with a rental car but wow, serous kudos to being able to or even willing to do that

But they you would miss 99% of it. The most memorable moments are generally those as far away from roads as you can get.

With several TB of sd cards, and solar and wind up charges.

What is you packing list?
Have you had any survival training? Or are you planning on carrying most of your food.

Nah, just a couple of 8GB cards and a couple of spare batteries would do it. Transfer them to DVD when you get into town and send them home* and charge the batteries.

MK what is the longest distance without hitting a town on the PTC? I'm very jealous, I'll be stuck in an office unable to get some decent time off again... Maybe in a couple of years!

*Carrying a copy of the CD until you know the other one arrives home, then sending that copy with the next DVD of new photos so double redundancy.

Didn't read the whole thread but some awesome pics

Be better uploading to a cloud service and getting a relative or a permently left on of to sync it as well. Easier than messing around with CDs.

That sounds an awesome trip! Most I've ever managed camping was five days!

If it were me, I'd do it in reverse and get the hard, cold bits out of the way first, but whatever - Best of luck!

Depends how long you want to be sat in an internet cafe/at a public computer for, especially if it's in a town a bit out of the way (by town it's American remember so could just be a couple of dozen houses and a general store). Could take most of the day to upload 8GB whereas copying to DVD would take 5 minutes each and you could nip to the store to post it.

Wow that sounds awesome

Epic, have a great time & yes I am envious

 

[qqg3]

Sounds amazing, have fun and don't expect too much snow up in Washington, they mostly get a lot of rain or wet stuff, haha.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Wow, look forward to seeing all the pics! I assume you have training for this? Unfortunately, I just couldn't afford to pack up my life and do such a thing.

 

[Marky]

Does a B2 visa just allow you to stay in the US for 6 months?

 

[J1234]

That's incredible! Do keep us updated with the progress, good luck with it.

 

[Maccy]

Fantastic stuff, look forward to the epic photo album this time next year!

 

[firstborn]

Does sound amazing. Can you share your kit list? not for critrique (so can email if you want - addy in trust), but out of interest. Would like to compare against stuff I've carried on some endurance jollies

 

[Pate]

Are you not allowed a gun? Would hate to be travelling so wild and yet so exposed to nature!

 

[Emphacy]

This is the kind of trip most of us could only dream about!

Will probably never get to do something anywhere near this in my lifetime. Good luck, will be amazing, aslong as you don't get ravaged by bears...

 

[rexehuk]

Cool journey. Hope you guys enjoy yourself!

What are you doing with your house etc while you're away for 6 months? Renting it out?

 

[Raymond Lin]

I remember you telling me this, as I said before, it is awesome, mental and amazing!

 

[Moothead2]

What are you doing with your house etc while you're away for 6 months? Renting it out?

Worst "I'm going to rob your house when you're gone" post ever .

Anyway, sounds awesome but something I could never do!

 

[Judgeneo]

6 months alone with the wife?




This looks like one difficult trip, best of luck

 

[Mickie]
