Because I have not really had all my supplies in one place at one time yet, I have not quite figured out exactly HOW I will be packing my pack. I got the food I ordered today, which is about a month’s worth if I actually listen to their portion sizes … probably half of […]
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I feel like a little kid counting the seconds until a Disney Vacation (before I realized that Disney is actually an incarnation of evil that is). I get the feeling Maytag feels the same way. He has been doing a good job of testing out his equipment […]
Now that most of the supplies prep has been taken care of, I have run out of good excuses not to be focusing on the body prep. I have used such excuses as winter, being transportationally challenged, running out of room as supplies take over the space, and boredom with routine as excuses to NOT […]
People have been banging on my door. They have been hanging outside with cameras flashing every time someone appears at the window. The phone is ringing off the hook. Everyone wants an update on my plans. My public WANTS to know! And then I woke up. But just in case one or two people ARE […]
The adventure begins very soon. I can’t wait. I generally get one of three reactions when I tell people about my plans. Some can’t imagine WHY I would do such a “crazy” thing. Others think it is a cool idea and wish they could do something similar. Most fall somewhere in between, thinking it is […]
I have not had an update for a few days due to Global Warming. I am sure most would say what has one thing got to do with an other, but I am also sure you know I will come up with an explanation (even if it might be far-fetched). Basically my newest batch of […]

Just a heads up. Due to that thing called LIFE, we are shifting our planned starting date a bit. Instead of March 20, 2014, we are now aiming for March 27, 2014. I hope this is enough notice to change the send off party! That’s all for today! [ujicountdown id=”IDIOTS AWAY!” expire=”2014/03/27 07:00″ hide = […]
As the time of launching approaches, tension builds. Not only do we need to make sure we have all the toys needed, but we also have to make sure we actually know how to use the toys, and that they work properly. A backpack would not be too effective if the first time we try […]
I have a new toy to play with guys! I figured that it would be very cool if we could actively plot our progress on an accurate map for all to see. So I went into the woods, built an alter, and did did sacrifices and other appropriately gruesome acts to the God Google, and […]
