SurvivalBlog reader Michael Z. Williamson (the sci-fi author) recommends the Goliath Expedition: http://goliath.mail2web.com — Karl Bushby’s amazing web journal. As Mike put it, this sporadically posted blog is written by “a nutcase British former Paratrooper who is walking 36,000 miles around the Americans and Eurasia. His journal and photos offer some interesting insights on travel in emergencies, and kit. The experienced reader will also spot several critical mistakes he’s making along the way–cheap nylon tent instead of canvas, incautious with blades, lack of experience with draft animals and bikes, etc. There’s a wealth of information here.”
