There's going to be four of us. Were going to Michigan to camp in the wilderness for a year. That's right, a year. One of us is a medic from the marines for over 6 years. *retired* the other has done this before so i think we can cover that we have a couple of guys that know what there doing.

well thats about that, Anything we need to add on our list? we do not plane on moving around srom site to site, we are goin to be stationed in one camp site for the year, we already have talked to the DNR in the area, they told us where we can go for this kind of camping. DNR will check up on us once a week they said. they know that we are on are way. and they said what we can haunt for and when, we have our hunting license's and we have money saved for the tags for hunting, They said that they will drop them off when there ready for use and we can pay for them, so we dont have to go into town. We want to stay into the wilderness with out going into town for anything.
so did you think of anything?

Answer
I want to call BS on this one, too. Letting you squat on state land for a year, bringing game tags to you? Pretty unlikely. If DNR did this for one group they'd have to do it for everyone, and pretty soon the woods would look like some third-world refugee camp with tents sprouting all over the place, rancid pit latrines overflowing into the ground water resulting in filth and disease, the entire woodlands denuded for firewood, and every living creature would be killed and eaten for survival.

On top of that your list is poorly planned, far too heavy and detailed in some areas, too light and weak in many others. Believe me if you live on MRE's you will not be needing nearly a quarter of that much toilet paper, because you'll be constantly constipated, will get grossly overweight and become hypertensive, and will probably stroke-out on your folding toilet trying to squeeze-out a turd. And speaking of toilets, how exactly do plan to store and dispose of 365+ bags full of human fecal matter?

500 batteries?
5,000 arrows??
DNR is going to bring you your tags so you don't have to go into town? You're not going into town for anything, like maybe ICE for your coolers???

<insert facepalm photo here>

If DNR was really inclined to allow such a thing, one look at your list would have them rolling on the floor. Of course maybe those guys have a macabre sense of humor and are running a pool to see how long before you give up or die.

is this all i need to be safe?
