Newb Planning to Hit the Road

[Deleted member 19100]

Hello everyone! As titled, I'm in the planning stages of becoming a "misfit traveler". I have a good feeling that it's what I've been looking for in my life and hoping someone here can find some parallels and confirm my suspicion or maybe prevent me from a making a huge mistake haha!

I've always been changing my plans, whether it be living quarters, work, school, hobbies etc. My most vivid memories are when I was transitioning between things, like when I moved to and from the oilfield: living out of my truck along with my dog. It seems to me that anymore than 3 months in the same place and I get a bit unnerved/restless. Have navigated a lot of depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Predominantly anxiety nowadays. I'm veryyy comfortable with being an introvert!

That being said, I have a pretty good background to prepare me for these kind of travels: was a reserve infantryman in the CF, I've hitchhiked Eastern Canada, decent experience camping/canoeing/bushcraft/camp skills and nursing skills to stay healthy. I have a downright sexy set of camping equipment (winter and summer). My dog is a pitbull cross; nearly bulletproof.

As for travel plans, I've been eyeing the chilkoot pass monument to the stampeders (YT) for some time now.

Welcome! There are SHITLOADS of great info on here, and it's pretty easy to find with the search feature.

If you're in the southern California area around the end of October, I would HIGHLY recommend hitting up the dirty scouts jamboree; it's gonna be a fuckin' BLAST!

Safe travels! ::drinkingbuddy::

Yes haha! Stone Temple Pilots and chemistry references! A big grunge fan myself actually, but hardcore punk is eclipsing it more recently.

I JUST realized that if I can get my TJ certified I could definitely make the Jamboree!!! OH. MY. BUDDHA. Gotta get to work
