Guys, I think my dad will kick me out soon.
Can I realistically survive in Winter?
I live in a wet part of Europe in a city in the plains, but the mountains are close and that's where my heart lies and will head there, since I want to be far and cut all safety nets and bonds to them, not because I hate them, but because I love them and don't want to hurt them no more.
I have little funds and thus not enough money to use a car, I have a bike, but it seems unwieldy in the forests especially now when there is probably snow and if not snow a lot of mud.
Can one survive with only a backpack until spring, I don't know where if I would lay camp, we have some land in the mountains, but that would probably lead me back to them.
But a backpack seems too little space, I would need a tent, some pots and tools, clothes, books, a sleeping bag and a couple kg of flour, I'd eat fish for meat and also I will need my laptop, although I wouldn't have electricity and it would probably get wet.
I have this image of Sam's backpack from Lord of the Rings.
Books and clothes seem like they wouldn't fit, I'd also have to somehow cycle trough the books at home or borrow from libraries in the mountain cities. I also am tempted to take one of my telescopes, but it definitely won't have space because of the mount and tripod.
Books and telescopes are desires and I'll have to settle for libraries, e-reader and laptops, but clothes seem essential for a long winter trip.
Farm and shepherd dogs will also be a likely problem.
My hopes are that the wild will toughen me up.
What do you guys recommend?
