Seeking friend for wilderness trips from NYC

Hi there! I live in New York City, and I am looking for a friend and companion to share wilderness backpacking adventures in the Catskill Mountains, as well as other places within a three hour drive of Manhattan.

I would love to show you hidden waterfalls in the forest and climb mountains with you, which have inspired the Hudson River school of landscape painters.

I have all the camping equipment needed to live a clean, health, comfortable and safe existence in a forest, ranging from a water purifier to a miniature stove to a tent heater to a portable shower.

I am also interested in sharing a trip to the Rainbow Family Gathering in the Allegheny National Forest from Sunday, August 12th through Sunday the 19th. It's a 350 mile, 6.5 hour road trip from NYC.

I care just as much about the environment as I do about nurturing relationships. I am hoping both of us will return from our journey a little more enlightened and inspired by mother earth and each other.

 

Where did you get the portable shower?
You are planning to live in the mountains?

 

The shower is shown here:

It's a Stearns B110 model.

It's operated with a foot pump. I heat water on a camp stove and pour it in using a funnel. If the air temperature is cold, I shower inside an Exped Tipi Tarp Tent, heated with a Coleman SportCat catalytic propane heater.

I only live in the mountains on a temporary basis as a form of recreation.
