My girlfriend and I had a fight the other night and says she wants me out. I could depend on friends or goto a hotel but I'm thinking I'm gonna go out in the woods and camp until she cools off some. I live in the southwest part of Virgina and already have a nice little spot picked out. Not going to go to far out but somewhere close to town and where I work. Being close will eliminate some of the gear I will need.. Like finding food and water. Going to bring all my knives and practice my bushcrafting skills too! I consider this kinda a vacation. :). Thing is. I just moved here from michigan about 3 years ago and never really hiked/camped in Virginia.. In michigan about the worst thing I gotta worry about is drowning... Lol. Anyone from this area that'll give me a couple tips on my adventure?
 
I'm gonna :). Recently acquired a bk14 and RSK MK2 I've been wanting to try out. Beautiful country down here. Plan on taking pictures. Did allot of hiking up north.. But its quite a bit different down here I noticed

Pay attention to ticks. Yes, SW VA is a lot different from MI. Lots of rattlesnakes and copperheads in the mountains.

Take a medical kit (this goes for anywhere) and ditto the bug spray. Have fun. :D Ditch the GF, why do YOU have to go; :confused: it's like being told to sleep on the sofa. I don't care whose fault it is, B---- if you don't want to be in bed with me YOU sleep on the sofa. :mad: Sorry if I offend, but this has always been a pet peeve of mine and I have NEVER tolerated it (happily married-most of the time ;)-32 yrs) Set limits or suffer forever. It does sound like a fun way to end a quarrel though. Don't mean to lecture, but HEY you brought it up.:p
 
First aid kit. Be cautious and careful when using any sharp objects. One mistake can be your last if your out to far. Let family know your whereabouts as well in case things go south.
 
I dunno. Been married over 30 years. Neither of us has ever "slept on the couch" due to an argument.

If you are going to quote scripture, I mind Eph 4:26 "Do not let the sun go down on your anger."

I also mind Hezekiah 24:6, "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
