About to go spend 60 days by myself in deep Fiordland (pic related)

A map and compass so that you know for sure which way to hike to salvation once you run out of noodles and start to starve.

>>947855
Oh yeah forgot to mention, definitely have a map and compass lol.

>>947854
Boil the hell out of everything, you don't want to have worms sneaking around in your intestinals.

>>947854
Fiordland with just a waterproof sleeping bag and a bivy bag ? You'll be soaked by day three. Bring at least one proper tarp or you'll be home by the end of the first week.

>wants to go for 60 days
No m8. Cut the length right down, unless you want to live off wetas. Make it 1 week tops

>>947854
I look forward to hearing about you in the news

>>947854
This must be bait.

Never been /out/ before, now expect to live off the land for 60 days.

You literally can't read do you?

>>948182
So are you implying that
>hiking via tramping huts
and
>never been innawoods before
aren't contradictory?
imo being innawoods means sleeping outdoors in a tent or whatever. That means that this hiking stuff can't have been serious if it doesn't constitute being innawoods.

If i'm wrong here then learn to form sentences, I don't care enough to try to guess exactly what you mean in your cryptic post and i'll just go off what's clear, i.e. >I've never been innawoods and I want to go out for 60 days

I am from New Zealand and think you are full of shit OP.

>>948219
Why? I live in Te Anau and have been hiking/camping all my life. Just never gone solo and without food to last me the entire time. Doesn't seem like much of a stretch desu. Hunting with a fishing bow is easy down here, rivers are full of fish and see through.

Only thing I'm genuinely concerned about is the rain. I think anon is right that only taking a waterproof sleeping bag is too risky, so I'll take a shitty tent as well.

>>948220
What kind of fish do you usually get in the rivers?

>>948220

If you live in Te Anau and think that list even comes close to sufficing you may aswell activate your epirb now... oh wait you dont have one.

>>948222
Brown and rainbow trout are very common and get pretty large. We also have native eels, but obviously it's kinda hard to catch them bow fishing.

>>948224
Mate you sound like a fucking jaffa

>>948220
If you're really from Te Anau you should be familiar with Fiordland and realise what a silly idea your proposal is.

For feck's sake please bring a tarp. Makes me cold just thinking about you wet and shivering in a bivvy bag.
I bet anything OP will end up spending all this time in a hut.

I spend 10 days in remote fiordland (fly in) every april for the roar.
>Never been /out/ only stayed in huts
you will die and never be found, fiordland is fucking gnarly

>>947906
I have never boiled water in fiordland and have never been sick

>>948220
>waterproof sleeping bag
I have a mean as 4 season alpine tent and everything is always wet after 10 days, a waterproof sleeping bag(?) even with a bivvy will do sweet fuck all to keep you dry.

there is no way you are from te anau. if you were you would know that this plan is retarded. If you are from te anau go and take a pic of The Moose right now.

>>947918
This. A bivy bag should only be considered as "extra" waterproofing. You need a tent or a tarp - optionally with a ground tarp as well
