Why did you decide to take this trip? What got you into this type of travel, and/or influenced you to go?
We didn’t want to wait until we were old & falling apart to backpack & see the world, so we decided now was a good time. 🙂
What got us into this?
We saw this show on Public Televsion Called ” ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS” about a man named Richard Proenneke decides to go live in the mountains of Alaska alone. He makes everything from what’s around him..Cabin, tools..ect..
He is pretty much self sufficant.
