So throughout my insomnia I've been doing some research into slab city and I've got a few questions I'm hoping to get some help with.
1. Shelter.
I don't have a car, much less an RV or van. How will I work out the shelter issue? As in what can I use to provide myself with shelter? Will a sleeping bag do or do I need a tent? And if I do need a tent what kind?
2. Supplies.
I've looked at the maps. I know Niland is 3 or 4 miles away. Let's say I have a medium alice pack (which I do). What kind of supplies do I need? Water is an obvious one. And from doing some research I know that there is a hose behind the niland market, but let's say I make the trip to niland 3-4 times a week. Is that enough? I figure I can carry 10-15 pounds of water and food (maybe less if I need a tent). So how does the food and water balance out? What kinds of food do I need? Are there any other supplies I need?
3. Internet.
How and where can I access the internet? CAN I access the internet?
4. Where to camp.
Where in slab city is it best to camp without a vehicle?
I plan on going to slab city within the next 2 years so this is long-term planning.
Thanks.
