Hey my friend and I are going to camp kodiak for a month. We are going in by bush plane and would like recommendations for a secluded area with an air strip that has a lake and river that we could fish from, hike, and get water. anybody?
Answer
Kodiak Airport is probably where you want to land and get ground transportation. I think that an entire month is a long time. However, you can get guides and lodging if you have the money.
I went backpacking last summer across Alaska on about $200 per day, including transportation, food, campsites, boat tours, and gear. Prepare for rain showers almost daily.

Cost of Backpacking Across England?
Anna K
This summer, I'll be backpacking across England... no ifs, ands, or buts, about it. I'm gonna do it.
The kicker is, I don't want to "backpack" as in take the trains and public transpo everywhere I go... I mean I'm literally going to trek across England with my traveler's pack and camping gear. Sounds a bit crazy, right? But I've met quite a few folk who've backpacked across the United States on foot, and I figure I'd like to start with something smaller first. Plus, I LOVE the English countryside.
In any case, I'd like to start at the southernmost airport, and zigzag my way up (my only stipulation is that I HAVE to stop at Nottingham Uni and Leeds, in order to see friends). If I have time, I'd like to see the rest of the UK as well - go up into Scotland, through Ireland, into Wales, and end at the London Airport.
However, I'm kind of in lala land about all of this, and need help putting things in perspective. In all reality, I'd like to stay in hostels maybe thrice a week at most. I'd prefer to camp the entire time, but in cities, that just won't always be possible. How much would that cost? And the projected cost of food? Should I take food with me? Water? How much? What equipment do I need for camping, other than a tent? Should I bring my guitar? Should I bring a gun for security? What are the dangers? How long would a trip like this take?
Answer
the airport you start at depends more on where flights from wherever you live fly into ... most likely this is going to be Heathrow or Gatwick ... rather than going zig-zag I'd suggest you think of a circle, for instance up the east coast and down the west coast ... this fits in with the geography quite well because of the range of hills (Pennines etc) down the middle of the country ... it also fits in well with leaving by the same airport you started at ... there are websites such as http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/ listing campsites ... you'll need to do some homework before you start so you've got some idea of places you could possibly stay at ... there are campsites in or near cities, you've just got to find the locations ... I don't quite get why you're so against sometimes taking public transport, I'd suggest you might want to re-think this and use public transport for the less scenic parts ... or how about cycling, that's a lovely way to get around ... if you're going to be carrying everything on your back, you want it to be as minimal as possible ... my son has bought a pop-up tent which takes about 5 minutes to put up, sounds very inviting after a tiring day hiking ... food depends on whereabouts in the country you are, many places there will be plenty of shops, fast food take aways etc so won't be a problem, in more country areas you will have to buy something and take it with you
how long are you planning to put aside to do this trip? ... don't forget that you're not likely to get more than a six months visitors visa, and you won't be able to work
