>what was your plan?

To get caught.

I've backpacked for a five weeks before. I've done several trips that were three or four weeks long as well. When backpacking for a long time you learn how little you really need. People are also generally very nice and will do amazing things for you without being asked. On the five week trip we backpacked through Scotland, Wales, and England (I'm American). We would eat in a pub most nights.

Not that much but I backpacked for 2 weeks. I didn't learned that much tbqh and my only plan was to arrive to the end of the journey.

i learned i don't care if i smell but i do care if my pack is heavy

Tablets for water are the king of purification,
disinfection wipes and soap work

What sort of soap?

dr bronners

Left the wife in '09, still on the road.

Easier than you think.

People take way to much food camping, easy marks before they have to carry it out.

Got 7 days from one overnight couple once!

National Park Employees take you in after 3 weeks in the backcounry without a permit.

Never been assualted, offered many overnights! WITH breakfast!

Chicks dig me.

All else is luxury.

well washing hands even with good soap is not a 100% solution. rather they just reduce the viral and bacterial load that is on your hands and thus later in contact with other part of your body. so most soaps are ok or like i, use the non fashion soap like curd soap.
and i use the gel disinfectant for time to time
