Any of you old guys ever do a long term camping trip solo? I'm hoping I get some company for a bit here and there, but plan to do this high desert trapping trip out in Idaho this fall. Two years ago I spent 28 days in October camping.. This year It will be Nov into Dec and quite a bit colder weather. Not gonna cost me anything if i tap out and quit early, but intend to work the entire 6 weeks so I hit two dark of the moon phases and hopefully maximize my catch.
 
Did a month a couple years ago while mule deer hunting, there was cell service where I was camped which really helped. Bought a starlink mini and power station for this season, I’m using it right now while scouting.
 
I haven't done 2 months at a time but have done 4 months of 10 days on and 4 days off between 1974 and 2012 . By myself and moving camp every day to every other day. 24 years in Montana and the previous years in the western 6 states.

The best years I had my dog with me.
 
I love your plan. Teamwhitebelly had a great idea - but one way or another, keep us posted! I plan to retire next year and need to do a trip like that!
