outdoor boys is a boyscout larper but i like that he is getting people into the outdoors. he purposely makes things more difficult from the few video's i have seen when the rest of the state is just into having fun. there are very few bushcrafters in alaska because the rest of the state just likes to enjoy the things around us without making up challenges for ourselves.
>t. remote alaskan who has camped in many of the places he has
also i have an irrational hatred of new jersey due to the people from there i've met in my state. they are by far the worst people i have ever met.

that being said, this is a good idea. chilling in the woods is fun and if you don't like doing it near your car in a tent you won't like doing it anymore without a tent or car. i think you will like it.

in addition to the obvious, bring
>car repair items if you are handy with them. at least be able to start it
>sleeping bag 10f warmer than needed, or additional blankets
>thick sleeping pad if car camping
>gun if you have one
>some sort of battery charging system. don't go a whole night without flashlight or phone when you don't have to
>download some movies on your phone. sitting there bored doesn't make you more hardcore, it makes you bored if you have nothing else to do when it is dark all day

be aware of the fact bears don't sleep for eight months. it is just a long period of lazyness. it isn't impossible to see them in the winter, just far less likely.

no one is meant to live alone for extended periods. it destroys your mind. don't think you have to be a bushcrafter, just chill out with a beer by the fire and listen to the birds. car camping is great, so enjoy it.
