What's the furthest you have been...

Southeast alaska, 10 day float hunt, ferried in one at a time on a two seater super cub, 100’s of miles from anything

Kisatchie national forest

I don’t know, I’ve been to Colorado 20 years ago but not exactly sure how far we got from everyone.

I work in the middle of the GOM if that counts. If not, we hunt in central Kansas and the closest place to get fuel is 8 miles away.

The Hudson Bay. By canoe. We traveled for 5 weeks without seeing a road. Traded furs with the Indians at Winisk. Arrived on August 12, 1990. Got flown back to Pickle Lake and found out from our bus driver that the Gulf War had broken out two weeks prior. I had smuggled a dog out of Landsdown House and got it all the way back to Toronto. Ended up bribing a girl $50 at American Airlines to get the dog back into the country without any shots or paperwork whatsoever. Caught a ton of walley, Brook trout, and pike. Killed geese every day with our paddles because they were molting and couldn't fly. Awesome trip.

Rubicon trail.

It's 10 miles from the house to fuel



For me north Nevada.

We turned onto this road and the sign said last fuel 168 miles.

We take off.

The gas station is closed.

It has a sign that says, next gas station 130 miles.

I do some quick math and we take off.

We eventually ran out. Emptied Roto packs. Then ran out again.

But in the middle of the desert up there was a rest area. Really nice. Two bathrooms and 10 picnic tables or so.

100 miles from anything.

I stood outside the ex's bathroom with an AR with a line of sight to the SUV. I pissed in the parking lot.

No doubt we were being watched the entire time.

Too many signs that a few people were around just out of sight.

Well, let’s see.....

Hiked up to the Ngwenya Mine in Swaziland once- it’s thought to be the world’s oldest at around around 40,000 years old. Absolutely amazing.

About ran out of diesel somewhere on the Mikumi Game Reserve in Tanzania once- I figured if we really did run out, we may be in a bind for a bit.

Been about 40 miles off the highway in Moab- ended up at a cave Cycle World Magazine had used for a photo shoot for Honda’s Africa Twin bike- thought that was pretty cool. Especially because we just stumbled upon it and it was very recognizable.

Tried to find a way up Mount Angouma in Cameroon once- got halfway ish up in a Land Cruiser and decided to call it- heard there were gorillas up there and wanted to see for myself. Angouma is 8 hours down a dirt road from the closest city, but only about 20 km from the village.

Hmmm, by myself, well....there’s this one spot. It’s in my will. Bout halfway between Isle Au Pitre and Halfmoon- it’s neat. You’re just out there by yourself. Totally alone- no one really passes out there. That’s where I want my ashes spread.

Paranoid much????

There was a warm hot plate plugged in but not on in the women's bathroom.

At the time it was peacock bass fishing up toward Rio Negro in the Amazon.2 flights from Miami, a puddle jumper to a dirt road town up in the Amazon, then a 3 hour boat ride in fishing boats up the Amazon. From there took a 45 minute copter ride to the Venezuelan border. No phone service, no radio service, no nothing. Would have taken months to "walk out" just to the Amazon river. Second time I went I brought a satellite phone from the U.S.
