For one year I would like to go deep in the words, pitch a tent and call it home. Ever done this? If so, how long?

I would love to do that. I have gone as long as three months in the wilderness living in a tent before, and it was AWESOME!!! I get out and do it every chance I get. Hell, my house is in the woods in the middle of nowhere.....

I've gone camping lots, but never completely away from civilization, but my father has, but only for a few nights along side a river. He'd canoe the river during the day and sleep in a tent at night. One night he heard what he believes was a bear come poking around the tent site in the night, but it left him alone. He said he had a wonderful time except for the time he almost drowned when the canoe capsized in the middle of a strong current..

Have you considered the rain , the elements , the bugs, the snakes and are you going to use the bark to cover up with ? I would think things through especially since you are a young woman?

Im not young, just young at heart. I have been through all of those things already. As a matter of fact I was attacked by a snake in a local store this past summer. That was more frightening than seeing one in the woods. At least there you expect to see one.

I went deep in the words for several months while I wrote my novel.

I did it for three days, then I had to get back to work. It was so peaceful and the most restful vacation I ever had. Right by a river, and I swam and slept and read and listened to nature.

If you find the right spot to camp it is very relaxing and peaceful.

I had to do it. Had no choice. Parents kicked me out when I was 16 because they found out that I'm a lesbian. I ended up living in a tent on a mountain in Georgia for 3 months. I went a week and a half without one bite of food. Became so hungry, I actually attempted to eat tree bark and attempted to chase a rabbit down on foot. It's not something that's stress relieving, yet it is. You find yourself terrified of the wild coyotes and such that stalk your tent through the night, but during the day, you realize that you are completely free from the rules and regulations of living within today's society. It comes down to you and nature, where nothing else matters except what you're going to do in order to survive til the sun sets on the next day. It taught me ALOT about myself and about society. I wouldn't ever wish it on anyone, but I'm thankful to have survived and learned that lesson that was so difficult to learn.
