You really have to LIKE being out there and REALLY NOT miss civilization.

Yes! Yes! Yes! You have to enjoy living outdoors. The whole business of going as quick as you can from the wilderness to a place where you can have a beer and a burger has never been my thing. I stay out to the last possible moment and then go straight home, but reluctantly.

I really pay attention to keeping clean

I find this is a key to my staying happy and comfortable as the days and weeks pile up, too.

As for Snickers(tm), they're ok. I've moved away from them toward dark chocolate in small amounts, a couple pieces of hard candy, homemade trail mix, and Clif bars.
