FAQ

Since revealing my summer plans, I'm not surprised to learn that there are a number of different reactions.

There are people that:
Love the idea.
Hate the idea.
Think I won't go through with it.
Want to do it themselves someday.

All of these reactions, however, yield the same questions.
In no specific order, here they are, with my best attempt at answering.

When does this madness begin?
Sometime before July 1. It depends on my condition post-race this weekend.

Where will you stay?
I've been overwhelmed by the amount of people who have offered up their lawns, backyards, and even extra rooms during inclement weather. While this option might be appealing, I will make my best attempt at keeping it a wilderness experience. I also plan on "stealth camping" once in a while.

What?! You aren't gonna shower?!
You forgot I am a triathlete. This means going to the pool and gym. It has showers. I'm not going to be that gross. My hope is that you won't even notice a difference in my appearance, except maybe a little more tan...oh, and maybe the beard, if it wins. Polls close June 30! Get your vote in on the sidebar!

Aren't you worried about wildlife?
Look, the only beast out there is me. Just kidding. I will be taking the necessary precautions of avoiding bears. There are lots of them up here. I'm going to do my best to avoid bringing any food at all to where I settle down for the night. I'm not worried about wildlife. I'm excited at the opportunity to see a ton of it.

Those are the most frequently asked questions.
This blog is going to be really cool, not gonna lie.
It'll be slightly interactive, with some multimedia facets. There will be some video blogging, pictures, and brief daily updates. There won't be any large reports, unless I go on an epic trip, which I do plan on doing here and there.
I envision this as something you might read while drinking your coffee in the morning.
So brew it up, cue it up, and get your dose of the outdoors, TentMan style!

Thanks for following!!
