How I did it: We bought a large Cabela's tent (15x30 ft) and went up to 20 acres undeveloped family heirloom land. It took a couple months of prep because we were also planning to live off the land... (starting the garden, building a platform, ect.) but it still wasn't enough. We were moving off of a boat at the time, so we coming from a very different circumstance. I would definitely do it again, and would change a lot the next time, but I don't regret it. It was the best experience I've ever had (thus far!).
Lessons & tips: Protect yourself! Watch out for the bugs you'll encounter, depending on where you are, they could be deadly. I was bit by a Black Widow while I was tenting, luckily though, I knew what to do and how to identify it. I did not have a horrific reaction, but my left arm was in pain for about two months. Learn about how to identity certain pest and animals, and know when it's an emergency!
Resources: Cabela's was a great resource for the tent itself (great quality), but it's an investment (some cost up to $1000), so be sure it's what you want to do.
I to got nailed by a spider BRN Reculse I layed in my leanto for three days with a mud pack on my chest and two gallons of water near by. I got thru it ok and Still love camping. I still live outdoors cooking ,fishing,showering and listening the the ” band of the night” as well as the 90,00000 stars on the really big screen.Please never change! Cash!
