Your post has me intrigued. First sounds like you are travelling alone, kudos to you for being adventurous and
boondocking by yourself. Actually peeked at your profile and see you list occupation as "fire lookout". Imagine you have done your share of
boondocking in off the beaten path places.
I find it so interesting because I am planning to retire in a couple years, and plan to have my
fiberglass RV with
boondocking capabilities, and my first adventure will be the Pacific Northwest, which I have never see, and 2-3 months thru CO, WY, MT, ID, and then the HWY 101.
Reading your post made me think of how important it will be to have something as simple as a saw in a survival kit.
Sounds like you are an adventurous gal, and new to the site. I would be interested in reading about your adventures.
