To all who have donated here, offered support and encouragement, and even a small thanks to those who have asked “Are you out of your mind?!?” Thanks to the generosity and support offered, my boots are ordered and on the way, along with some other items. I hope to order pack and sack next week, both after some things clear and after I get some feedback on selections from some who would know. Meantime, I’m pulling together the gear I already have that will work, starting to locate and purchase clothing, and otherwise get ready. Thank you all for helping make this possible.
