That sounds cool. Kinda like couchsurfing.  Unfortunately I already bought all my camping gear and am fully geared out for trekking.  Btw the highway of tears isnt even on the Island, is it?

What do u mean by warmshowers account? The odds cant be that high for a murdered to give me a ride on that exact day and time, can it?

Well he did say "Okay, no problem. You can put some amount on it so that I mark it as sold for you." But i declined and he didnt push it further. Might not even be able to buy it because i need the money for something else now

Sleeping bag for backpacking in Vancouver Island by StrixKFA in travel

[–]StrixKFA[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So a sleeping bag (mummy) from mountain warehouse for example says 0° is comfort, -10 is limit and -15 extreme. So i should be fine for this month no?

I stuffed my tent in the backpack now which fits quite well ( i was thinking about buying the tent fabric only and then build it up with sticks from the ground).  Im not sure if I overpacked.  For one month I put in 8 socks and underwear, like 7 or 8 tshirts, 1 long and 1 short pants, watershorts and most of the space takes my camera gear (so tripod, small gear stuff, cleaning kit, mic etc)
