Where do I sign up?

You know me, I do regular trips into the middle of nowhere. I don't always write them up, but the more interesting ones I do. I'll start posting about every 'odd adventure' I have.

One thing I want to do is get my GHB squared off, then I'll be doing dummy-runs (literally, runs) with that, and see how I cope. It'll be pretty simple really. Grab the bag, run in a direction for about 20 hours (not all running, but much of it would be), then set up camp in the woods, stay the night, then the next morning, turn round and come back. That'll give me a good idea of the amount of distance I can cover in a relatively short amount of time. It will also provide me with some good knowledge of what my kit is lacking and thing like that.

But it can't be before next payday. I'll need to double up on all my perishables for my GHB, so that anything I use on the trip can be replaced the moment I get home.
