>Have you figured out your tent situation from the other thread?
I am seddled with the tent, I still wish I would of got a different one but im working with it, I am going to spend the night here becuase their is a spring in this canyon that I can filter to fill up water bottles

>>2866110
Comfy camp. Do you really need a tent in that environment though? I understand if you need it later in your trip but right there I would just cowboy it

No don't need the tent at all, just a bug net would be fine, filtering some water at the spring before it gets dark, and then I will make my dinner

I saw your post about talking to actual humans, and the draw of being part of a madcap historical anomaly instead of watching it from the outside.
It made me think, which I appreciate. It's so rare to encounter a new thought. I don't want to convince anyone, I just want them to expand my mind, but I am usually disappointed too.
I wish you well on your journey. Enjoy the time to think.

Started day two, got a later start than I would of liked to, had some complications with the water filter, broke one of the sqeaze bags, think the terian will be easier today mostly walking thru washes, the goal is to reach a campground with a water faucet, that some kids told me is up trail, I have two cans of tuna, four instant noodles and a bag of couscouse, this must hold me out untill I reach the town of be'er ora probably some time tomrow or the day after, pic is last night's grub two cans of tuna mixed with couscous

You must add more calories to your diet, if you think you're gonna make 1000km on a deficit you better be 200kg of fat and muscle.
See if you can load up in town, meats, oils, carbs, and get some dried meats too and good Intel on water ahead, faucets can be broken and springs can be shitted up.
Sorry man I don't mean to be a sad cunt, you know your situation better than anyone. Just look after yourself :)

I made it to the kibutz bought food, some one brought me back to their house made me a burger, offered me a shower and a place to sleep tonight, told me he has a 4x4 and would drive me back to my camp tomrow after prayers also said I could come back for shabbat, my camp is three miles away, it is just past ten thirty at night and it is raining, hopefully it dose not get flooded out, I'll probably sleep on their couch tonight and move my camp closer to the kibutz tommorow, will stay in the vicinity untill after shabbat and then get back heading north

you sound like a faggot and a beginner, it sounds like you are very close to civilization for the most part and abusing it, i bet it's actually a very easy hike

in any case i'm sure you are having fun and it's nice, good for you and keep at it

Please elaborate on your critisims

>>2866289
religion is a front to justify homophobic persecution and serves no useful function
you are participating in a system of oppression, and worse, revel in it, and view yourself as holy for doing so

>>2866290
yeah we should persecute homos just because we don't like them

those squeeze filters suck ass. idk how people deal with them, they're slow as fuck and the bags are annoying as hell to fill and it takes forever. i accepted the weight of a pump filter after trying out a squeeze to save weight.

Have you learned any skills about desert travelling?
Please tell us what you have experienced about temperature, water, shade, day and night and what ever else.

>>2866074
What do you do with the sunlight?, do you walk a few kms and rest in a shadow to cool yourself, you pour water on your head constantly or what do you do? Because I've walked under the sunlight and just after like 1 or 2 hours the hot is too much for your head and body in general. Specially if there is little wind.

>>2866289
from the pics it looks like it's all well marked trails and you talk about finding people and staying with them and so on. and the things you highlight seem a bit dumb like the ibex, and other things idk. don't take it seriously

i never understand these long hikes, they don't seem worth it at all for me. and that environment looks pretty boring but i've never been there so nevermind. and even when i'm doing things that i myself consider boring, at the end of the day it always ends up being fun

i hope you carry a lot of water as reserve always. i usually take 1l but i've never been in a desert

It took me over 30 minutes to fill up 6 liters filter got clogged and one of the bags popped on me, onwilmhabe to find an after market part to optimize it, I'm thinking to use an empty bottle in place of the bags in the mean time, but it will be a while untill I use it again, not a lot of springs in the Negev

>skills about desert travelling
Yes but it all common sense stuff, when your walking in a wash try to stay towards the side of it on slightly higher ground were the soil is former you walk faster and with less effort on hard pack ground vs the soft sand, it's also not good to walk on the heat of the day best time for traveling is early morning and late after noon, mid day is a good time to stop and eat lunch in the shade
>ever else.
Clothing is very important you want to cover as much of your skin as possible, loose well breathing clothing is essential, I just bought two white long sleeve dry fit shirts to wear when I get back on the trail, if i learn anything else I will tell you
>>2866323
Honestly In the heat of the day walk like 15 minutes then take a short break then walk another 15 minutes and so on, I take it slow I am in no hurry
