No offense Rouge, but some of things your writing is kind of worrisome, and I
am hesitant about giving info on cross country routes to folks who may not understand
the dangers or are overreaching there abilities, because I do not want to contribute
to there injury or death.
You say you haven't done much cross country, 3 days last year, yet now you want to
do 40 days in some of the most difficult sections, even for experience x-country
backpackers!
Martha to Simpson in a day through some of the nastiest bush in SEKI, really? Sure it
can be done by someone with a good solid x-country experience, and can move
fast.
You haven't done much cross country, if any, but class 4-5 routes with a full pack
won't be problem! Really? No offense but that statement alone is very little scary.
"I planned it mostly based on miles alone." Really, what about taking terrain, elevation
into consideration, doesn't speak well to you planning.
"Resupply point are going to be questionable also?", you think, this is part of planning
to.
Sorry, but some of the abilities you presented here are suspect to say the least.
My goal is not to discourage you in any way, but just trying to be safe.
