So, /out/, question!

I've got two trips coming up, and the second, while being the less /out/ one of the two, is the one I need some advice for. The plan is to drive from Senegal along the coastal highway of West Africa, with time determining where the ride ends. Given the current season, things may be quite wet there, and I still need
>footwear
>a hammock with mosquito net and tarp

Not sure if I should get shoes with a goretex membrane, shoes that dry really quickly, or just a pair of plain old sturdy combat boots.
So, tl;dr: what shoes and hammock do I get for riding a motorbike in hot wet weather. I live in Europe, so if possible keep that in mind if you suggest brands.
Pic vaguely related, it's the destination of the first trip, the Russian Caucasus.

If its very wet you're feet will get wet regardless of whether you have waterproof shoes or not. What I recommend is enough spare socks, talcum powder, and good discipline with foot hygiene.

Personally I'd go for a pair of cotton hot weather boots and change socks regularly.

But as you're riding a motorcycle.. why not just go for a pair of moto boots and a packable pair of trail shoes.

I don't expect my feet to get soaked every single day, but I expect a good deal of wetness nonetheless. Socks and talcum powder are indeed on my pack list.

The thing is, however, that - given the heat - I'm definitely bringing sandals, and I don't feel like carrying both moto boots and trail shoes. So I'm torn as to what kind of second pair to bring.
>>
Depends how you feel on using non Moto boots on the Moto, some riders are paranoid about laces and potential problems if you take a tumble.

If you're on your bike a lot I'd defo go for Moto boots. As to sandals or trail shoes, how much hiking away from your bike will you be doing and do you like hiking in sandals?

I think about how sad I am that things have worked-out the way they have, and make plans to fix things. I miss people that I don't see or know anymore. I yearn. I watch M*A*S*H.

Going to get the boot where I live now, and have been thinking about just moving into my car. It's illegal to live in your car in my city, but Walmarts and the local truck stop have people doing it.

Any experiences with this sort of thing? Advice?

Car is a 2008 Honda Fit.

I've been playing games since I was a kid, and I recently played Firewatch and it's my new favorite without a doubt. The sunset, the mountains, nightfall was all incredible. Where can I hike in America that is even as remotely beautiful as this game? Or is it all glorified and no such area exists ;-;

I have long hair and I generally don't cut it. Its terminal length is not ridiculous so it doesn't really get too unmanageable as long as I tie it up. But I understand that long hair is not super practical. I just like it. But I suppose you could knap some flint to be sharp enough to shear yer locks.

Look up "Rite in the Rain" notepads. They've got lots of different products. The paper might curl a little bit if they get drenched, but it won't go soft and disintegrate like regular paper. However, keep in mind that just because the paper is waterproof, it doesn't mean your ink is. Grease pencil is probably your best bet, though you should also experiment with whatever ink you normally use, as maybe it's waterproof enough.

>Ultralight notebook

It's just called a notebook, buy one from staples and keep it in a ziplock bag.
