There's no room service at the Shalimar.
Does that qualify as "roughing it"?
Go ahead... tell me to "go fly a kite!" Please!

Mostly the Green mountains in VT. But also several in Maine and Mass. But the Adirondacks in NY are my favorites.

Prepared-not scared
My kite converts to a tent and the hook on my harness can be used to kill small animals if I am lifted in OBE and wind up lost, deep in woods when I
come back down to ground. The lines can be used as fishing line or trap line also. My harness is lined not with foam-but beef jerky and fruit roll
ups. I always wear cargo pocketed pants w/ pockets filled with survival items like lighter, Flintstone vitamins, and compressed down filled thong-
if weather turns cold.
There is also an emergency sign stiched permanently to my buggy seat that says to those who find my empty buggy,"OMG where the hell am I ?"

One of my brothers and I a long time ago hiked a trail from Cranberry Lake NY a day and a half in to another lake. We had a little granola and a
couple of lipton tea bags and our fishing gear. The second night we finished the granola ,smoked the tea bags (roll your own with the wrapper)
feeling pretty good about a stringer of trout for breakfast we had anchored to a rock in the lake. The next morning we stared with amazement and
hunger at the stringer of fish heads anchored to the rock. "oh F*** we got to get out of here before we starve". A day and a half later the little
store in Cranberry had just enough donuts and chocolate milk to ensure our survival.

You could have boiled the fish heads to make a energy boosting soup. Of course you would have needed a good hat or pot to boil the water!!
