Day 5
We started off watching multiple videos related to the book Wild by Cheryl Strayed. She went backpacking in 1995. She wanted to explore the PCT- the Pacific Crest Trail in the south so she started hiking from the Mojave desert in California. After watching this, we made a plans to go on a hike. Me and my partner, Shivani planned a hike together. We had to come up with the list of items we needed to go on the hike, the number of days we were going for, and where we were going. We planned to go to Nagalapuram Trek in the winter for 2 weeks. We also included the weight so we could see how much we had to carry with us and the essentials. Our list was:
clothes - 5lbs
water - 14 lbs
tent - 10lbs
fruit cups - 3lbs
first aid kit - 2lbs
berries - 2lbs
mangoes - 4lbs
chapati - 0.5
compass - 1 ounce
flashlight - 4lbs
medicine - 6ounces
sun protection - 1ounce
gun - 2lbs
ammo - 0.5lbs
pads - 3ounces
which totaled up to about 60 lbs. This was very good for us since we could just split the weight and get 30lbs each!
This was a very hard process since we had to leave behind a bunch of things we thought were essential for the day, for example, we couldn't get any coffee, a comfy bed after a long day of walking, etc. I thought it was very interesting since we had to think about what was really essential for survival!
