>>2793474Ok, I see you fren.
3k bucks
Do you own a truck?
Or a vehicle?
If so you are already off to a great start.
However it is winter now, so unless you are really good at building a shelter I would look down south for now.
3k goes a long way as far as long-term camping fees.
Some places you can camp for free.
I recommend you buy this book(pic related) and some tools after reading it.
Learn how to fish with jigs and a hand line
Get a blowgun that can be broken down into smaller pieces and learn the atlatl(in book recommended)
Good luck on your journey friend.
