Yeah it's been really tiring but I don't often get the opportunity to work overtime, so I'm pretty grateful for the chance to make some extra money. I've been slowly purchasing all the things I'll need to live off the land, just a thing or 2 every check since January. Here's what I've gotten so far:

New hiking backpack that can carry a LOT of stuff
Compass
Firestarter
New Danner hiking boots (best boots I've ever owned!)
Gerber full titanium blade survival knife
Australian camping hammock, it's almost like a tent (has a mosquito net and rain cover) but is much easier to carry and setup.
Water purifier
Outdoor clothing
And all the smaller things like outdoor cooking utensils, canteen, ect.

I'm definetly ready to get back in touch with the forrest

Wow... That must have been tough eh? Lmao I hate working long hours like that... It just stresses me out. =_=;; Glad you had a good birthday anyway! Yeah... I totally agree with you there. I've been waiting for summer to arrive just so I could get out in nature and relish myself in my surroundings... And dang, you have a survival gear??? I want one! Lol where'd you get them and what kind of stuff do you have? It sounds amazing...

That sounds great! Looking forward to reading it! I've been really good as well, just really, really busy, especially these past few weeks. I've been working 60 hour weeks at work and trying to finish finals up for the semester needless to say I'm pretty exhausted. Lol that's all I did for my birthday was work and sleep, it was still good though. But summer is just around the corner and I can't wait! I've gotten all new camping and survival gear so that I can go hiking and backpacking in the wilderness on my days off. I can't wait to get back into nature!! That's all I've wanted to do since seeing Avatar

Hahaha I'm glad! I've been good... You can read the conversation between Pa'li Makto to see what I've been doing the past few months but overall I've been pretty good. I'm going to write a post relatively soon, perhaps tomorrow or the day after that, to explain my absence and to express myself thus far.
