I am looking to do something memorable for an important birthday of mine.
I would like to walk 70km to a very small village in a extraordinarily shit part of south eastern romania as that is the village I spent a considerable amount of my childhood in.
My birthday is in early August.
During early august where I live the temperatures are usually near 40 celcius or more. It is usually bone dry but sometimes there are tropical rains which put even the storms of Havana to shame.
The route to that village has 2km of gravel road of varying intensity. The rest of it is pure dirt road.
The dangers include:packs of rabid dogs,very hungry dogs,migratory wolves;swarms of aggressive wasps;drunk and angry car drivers;and the rare druggie which uses shoe glue to get high.
If I am lucky,it will be dry and the road will be dry dirt.
If I am unlucky,it will rain and the road will be mud.
If I am very unlucky,it would have rained before sunrise,making a humid,hot suffocating atmosphere. The road will be a very thick mud.
What tools and equipment do I need to make such a journey possible?
What tools should I have in order to counter the packs of canines which usually patrol the area?
Could you mention anything related to this subject such as similar experiences?
FYI in Romania,owning a gun as a nonpolitician or police officer is impossible.
The max length acceptable for a fully extended pocket knife legally is from the tip of your longest finger to your wrist which in my case is 17.5cm,but in practice police will give you shit if your knife isn't 6cm long or smaller.
It is a pain to obtain pepper spray and cops will give you shit for that too.
In Romania,if you defend yourself from a murderer,you get 5-10 years and a whole lot more if you kill him while he gets 1-2 years and may get even less if he says he defended himself. Also if you hurt an animal,you are legally obligated to take it to a vet to treat it,otherwise you get a very hefty fine and 1 year in prison.
