Challenge

In my life I would like to overcome some physical and mental challenges. One of these challenges that I would like to overcome would be self imposed. I would like to go off into the Rocky Mountains and live off the land for three weeks with only the bare minimum. That "bare minimum" would consist of a knife, a backpack, a lighter, clothes, raingear, maps, and books on what is ok to eat. I go about overcoming this challenge by first erecting a shelter than searching for food and such. Every day I would collect wood for a fire, food, and improve on my shelter. The food I expect I would be gathering is berries, fish and if I could catch any squirrels or even rabbits. I would cook my food over the fire on perhaps a flat rock. My shelter would most likely be a cave or a lean too of sticks. This challenge although hard would I think is easier for me than for some because I have gone many times just not to this extent. This experience consists of a variety of backpacking and canoe trips with my parents or with a camp. I know that this challenge is a difficult one but I am determined to overcome it.
