:lol:

I just would really like to go somewhere. Somewhere new. Somewhere that isn't here! I've been here for awhile now and I think I've gotten all out of it that I possibly can. The idea of living in a commune appeals to me more and more everyday.

If I could convince my husband, I would go live in a commune in a heartbeat. But he isn't too warm on the idea for some reason.

its a great thing. i did this as a young teen (no drugs though) and it was right around then that my WHOLE mind set completely changed, i used to be all into making money. i was totally obsessed with it, and i was also totally obsessed with breaking shit. loved to fall trees and tear down old stuff we were gonan rebuild. also i used to be very violent.

im not saying it was the wilderness but it was somthing around that time that completely changed my veiws (over the course of a couple years), now im a big furry hippy that cant come to kill a bee.


aaaanyway, ive been hiking and camping for years. if you need any help on what to bring how to do things pm/e-mail me and i can help you out. i got msn and aol if you like.

peace, i dont think you will regret it!

I disagree with most of these folks, Elle.

I think a lot of us are at a stage where we want something big and drastic and life changing to happen to us. But the way to make that happen is to make small changes in our lives gradually, not try to have the most extreme/isolating/intense/spiritual experience money and drugs can get you. I think you'd be better served by applying that effort elsewhere.

The woods can be dangerous by yourself on drugs. What if you run into a bear and can't tell if you are hallucinating or not.

Not to be a dick, but that sounds rediculous. I think that Ellemy know herself well enough not to take an amount of any substance that would cause a complete loss of reality. Be responsible and be safe is what I say.

I think that the idea of going into the woods alone for a week isnt very extreme as you put it. Its not pulling a Chris Mccandless and writing off society for life. Its just a little self exploration for a week.

goo dpoint. but there is no where else i would rather be left alone to reflect on things than secluded in nature. there are dangers, but we gotta take the bad with the good.

I have done a lot of hiking and camping alone. And I trip alone a lot as well (though usually not in the wilderness). Some people act like it is some test of your strength to be alone in the wilderness. Personally, I find the solitude relaxing. I enjoy being the only person for miles around. I also enjoy the company of others on a trip but its always pleasant to go out by yourself on occasion.

This is a self-portrait taken just after sunset on a solo backpacking trip. I was the only person for miles here.

We all know psychedelics well enough to know that we cannot predict exact reactions. The danger isn't hallucinating a bear, it's seeing a real bear and hallucinating it's friendly or not threatening, and responding the wrong way. It doesn't take a complete loss of reality for something bad to happen, just a small mistake in perception could percipitate disaster. It's not extreme by itself, but a 1 week trip to the woods could be dangerous combined with drugs for a person who does not have expert wilderness skills and instincts.

Additional danger comes from being a woman alone in the woods, especially because animals can be attracted to blood and whatnot from before, during, and after the period.

Okay, I've always wanted to do this, ever since I was a little girl. Recently I've started thinking maybe it's about time I start making plans to do this. Once I tried to go camping by myself, and it was so terrible. I was so lonely that I cried and cried and eventually packed up and drove away on the second night. But I think if I didn't have access to a vehicle I would have stuck it out.

So basically I am thinking: A forest in the wilderness, some equipment, several doses of mushrooms, and somebody to drop me off and pick me back up again so that I don't try to escape when things get rough.

I think this would be good for me. What do you think?





I feel the same, except i plan to live in the wilderness indefinitely. I am stocking up on my supplies and planning to move in a couple of years. I would do it sooner, but something unexpected came up. I love solitude, so the isolation wouldn't be a problem. Im glad you have a chance to experience this.

How long do you plan to stay for ?

I hate this society. Its horrible and it will only get worst. I plan to write off society for a long time, if not for life.

But im a complete nutter :crazy2:....

Rock on Tyler that sounds awesome.

Summit, that is an exceptional picture. Solo hiking rocks, but like you I do love my crew as well.

Tomk, well though out post. Very good points indeed. Perhaps a few preliminary experiences in solo camping would be a wise idea. However I still believe that for some, a small to moderate dose of mushrooms and being alone in the woods is fine. I have not tripped in the woods alone, but have on many backpacking trips with friends. My brain very well knew that jumping off a nearby cliff was a bad idea, even on 2 hits of acid.

Society's not that bad. Keep faith my friend, there are still gifts to be found in this tangled web of mankind. Im still down for rediculously long trips away from it though :thumbup:

i think it sounds like  very, very bad idea. did i mention very?
remember the guys who went rock climbing alone (without any psychedelics in his system, mind you), and that fucking rock crushed his arm and he had to cut it off himself? REMEMBER?
yeah.
bad idea. :thumbdown:

Did you ever read his book ? Its pretty cool. He actually took pictures of the boulder crushing his arm. And the trip back.

He said it was the most awarding experience of his life.  :rolleyes:

Well, those are some good points, and I recognize the dangers.  As for my period, I can make sure to do it during a time of the month that's not bloody. 

I don't know, for some reasons the possible dangers don't scare me that much.  Chances are, I won't be in a completely isolated area, probably a private camping place.  There aren't any bears that I know of in central Texas either. 

Thanks for looking out for me guys.  :heart:

He ran off and explored the US and ended up dying in Alaska because of a missing entry in a botanical guide. There is a book about him called "into the wild" very good read.

Amethyst dear, people die in car crashes all the time, but people still drive their cars. People go solo backpacking all the time and most dont die. With the right preparation there is really nothing to worry about IMO.
