Partners for Alaska Backpacking Trip (Su mmer 2009)

“I am not sure where I post to look for backpacking / wilderness survival partners, so I thought here was fine.

This upcoming summer I will be heading out to the Alaskan wilderness to survive off the land for a bit. The time frame can range from a few weeks to a couple months depending on who would come.

I am looking for someone who might be interested in this kind of adventure and would be able to spend a portion of the upcoming summer backpacking, hunting, surviving in the Alaskan wild with me.

I understand the risks and that is why I am taking the time to prepare ahead of time. Venturing out with a partner or a small group will make the trip both more successful and enjoyable.

Some background information on myself:
I am a 26 year old male from the Yorba Linda area of Orange County, California. Right now I'm finishing up my bachelor's degree at Cal State Long Beach. I have recently returned from my 2nd tour in Iraq and am now finished with the Marine Corps. I have some survival experience from time spent in British Columbia, Canada in winter.

If this kind of trip sounds interesting to you, feel free to message me.
Obviously, you want to meet get to know someone before heading out on a big survival trip.

We will be well equiped before we set out.”

“jon krakauer would like to have a few words with you first...”

“I was thinking the exact same thing!”

“We will be well equiped before we set out

Are you planning on an air drop cache of food and supplies?”

“I thought that one was NEVER done with the Marine Corps! You know...Semper Fi!”

“Yeah. Or the bear guy.”

“alexander supertramp lives!”

“I am a hot, sweaty 22 year old bikini model looking for a way to make my parents pay for may mostly catholic childhood. I am pretty naive... Not experienced if you know what I mean. If I go on your trip and uhhh take care of you will you uhhh take care of me?”
