Chuffed to bits for you Rob. Have you thought about a hiking trolley system. Most are priced over what I could pay but was heartened to see loads of DIY videos on them a few other great cargo travel systems adapted from strollers, golf buggies even a crutch & two wheels was turned into one. Loving the genuine, helpful comments tho as with everywhere else there's always an eejit or two. I'm sure your experience is helping a few of us refine our plans for similar adventures. Keep on keeping on, refining & adapting as you go. You defo got this.

Hey Rob…Rob here. Look if you follow the east coast you will eventually run into Ocean City Maryland where I live. Keep in touch and if you pass thru here I can put you up in a hotel for a few days so you can rest and relax a bit on your journey my friend. I can also provide you with a few funds to keep you going for a bit. We are all struggling right now especially living in a resort town in the winter. I don’t have much money but I will give you everything I can on your walk. Take care my friend.

I am praying for you. You have taken on a tall order at the worst time of year. Do a half day at a time. It may take longer, but you need to get your shelter squared away before dark and be ready to deal with the cold nights. Shelter, sleeping bag, warm clothing and water are your main priorities. Try to buy freeze dried food and stay away from canned goods (they are to heavy). Make fire as much as you can. Better to be warm, safe, and alive, then worry about someone catching you out (Screw them). I will be watching your progress buddy.

[@RobTheNomad]

Thank you! Yeah I just made some mistakes. And the weather went insane all of a sudden. Thing is, I really didn’t have much. Only the bare necessities, especially after dumping stuff twice on the walk. I’ll figure it out.

The Russian hobbit hermit from Moscow does just that he was a lawyer in the city. One day in the mid 2020s he got fed up with everything and made a dugout on the ground with his white rabbit. He's got a library with over 4000 books people gave him over the years . He eats peas and occasionally tuna and beans. He lives near the highway and promotes his channel on billboards. People actually stop by to donate gas for his generator ( he's got a generator as well )and 💰 money . The man sips tea near his stove and reads books . The temperature there is super deadly cold.

Hey friend. Watching you on your journey . Please don't look at it as failure its flipping cold out. You have a great support system of friends here their advice is good please listen to what they say. Half days walking set up your shelter n fire get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. I hated to see you ditch your water bottle and tarp .

I was a Marine Corps Arctic instructor and have been all over the world, training in cold weather survival. I did 4 trips to Greenland in training out on the ice pack for weeks at a time. I helped teach Marine Corps aircrew how to survive if they went down in Arctic conditions, so I have some experience in this area. I would have never taken on an endeavor like you have done with the gear and experience you have. You may want to find a place to hunker down until the weather warms up more toward the spring. Cold weather is not a joke and I have watched many Marines who were raised up north believe they could handle it no problem, only to be medevac'd out of the field later during the training cycle.

[@RobTheNomad]

You did the smart thing by bailing out. Winter storms are no joke. If you find yourself outdoors in winter, I recommend hiking for half days & set camp with enough daylight, raised bed & sleeping pad...gotta get off the ground or insulate yourself from it. Remember, shelter 1st, fire 2nd, water 3rd. Dollar stores have packaged tuna, rice, oatmeal, beef jerky, etc...something warm in your belly makes a big difference. Also, hit a Walmart when you can for a water filtration device & some way to boil water, carrying water adds to much weight.

[@adventuresofmommabear2264]

@@RobTheNomad honestly, I've have never had a problem with wildlife. For me being in the south, it's alligator's, wild hog, cyotes, and bob cats that mostly run crazy here. I mean we have the normal ones too. Deer, fox, coons. But that is one of the reasons I rather be up off the ground. Now I used to use just hammock and tarp with underquilt, but now that it's getting colder I have the one tigis hammock hot tent. That is great. But I also like hot tenting. I know that with the smell of smoke and presence of people will usually keep wildlife away. I noticed you camp sorta close to road ways, maybe move in a bit further so you can have a small fire. Or even use a Dakota fire pit. If you don't know what that is, ask me and I'll walk you through. But if you do happen to come this way I have some gear for. Lightweight and versatile. Sorry I won't ship it. I just know that you are really living my dream. In the spring I plan on doing the AT (Appalachian trail). I have been planning this for a while. Next month I'll be in Pennsylvania to do some hot tenting in the mountains.. who knows, maybe you will be in or around there at that time. It's 3 weeks away😄 don't know how fast you are moving. .

A lot of us were getting worried about you, so it's great that you went back to your shelter, where at least you can stay out of the weather, and be somewhat warmer and safer. 🙏 Wait in a month or two, until the weather isn't so bad. I know you don't like the coyotes being around there, but if you find and stack enough branches and other materials all around your shelter, even against it, and at the door, and make more of a cabin out of it, it will be better protected and also better insulated.
