backpack camping hawaii

Philly Igg
My friends and I always go on a trip somewhere cool over the summer and right now we're all researching potential ideas.
For example the last three trips we made were:
A biking trip across Wisconsin
A horseback riding trip in Wyoming
A backpacking trip in Glacier National Park in Montana
I'm just brainstorming right now so any ideas are welcome.
Answer
. Kayak the Colorado River, Grand Canyon
. Mountain climb in the rocky mountains
. Cave exploring in Louisiana. Crystal Cave, you can take what you find [:
. There's a waterfall, Dunns, that you can climb in Jamaica, but that means paying for air fare... I climbed it though, gotta tell you, it's a challenge. Lots of fun.
. Road trip across Cali
. Jetski the coast of Cali aha
. Lava watching in Hawaii, you can climb the volcanoes in one park I think
. Travel across the east coast of Canada and go inward. My dad and I were going to do that. We live in Jersey, we were going to go up through Maine, take the ferrie into Canada, and then 4wheel drive across a portion of Canada, go home by Niagara into NY.
. Cape Cod, Cape May, visit some capes.
. Something in Alaska? They have a trail, they cut off the end of it because it's too dangerous, but your allowed to go a longg way on it. My dad and I are planning that in the future years. I'm sorry I don't know the name of the trail though.
. There's an AMAZING park in Carolina, I forget if it's North or South, it's Uarie Park (sp?). You can bring ATVs, cars, trailers, horses, anything to the park and use their woods, camping grounds, lake, courts, and trails. It's so much fun, I go down every summer with my dad. It's crazy fun. There's one trail that is the BEST when it rains because it gets a hugee mud puddle. I'm seriously blanking on which Carolina it is though.
anything like that?
Living off the land in Kauai?

Me and a couple of my friends are planning on going to Kauai for our senior trip. We thought it would be a great idea to bring our backpacks, necessary survival gear, and tents, and just live on the land for a week. Do you think this is a good idea rather than staying in hotels? we are very outdoorsy people.
Answer
Hey, welcome to Hawaii, ok? Ok, so otha poster hea say not good idea to do what you say, but...I gonna give you my opinion, it free, so take it with grain of salt, ok? Now, kina rite of passage for Hawaiian/ local boy and some girl to do what you talk bout, ok? And rite afta high school great time, ok? So, just take long fishing net/tackle, archery equipment to kill pig or goat, and learn what plants that grow good (ok not good, but at least edible) for food, ok? Hea what I suggest, getta hiking/camping permit for Kalalau trail onna NaPali Coast, ok? Also, getta fish and hunt license,(only need license if you fish for fresh water, ocean not need license) bring archery tackle-now this not make eva thing I tell you strictly legal, but gonna help if you get caught, ok? So, hea what you bring, good knife, heavy with sharpener, assortment of hooks, small lures and small toss net, rain gear, small tent, and fire starting set, ok? Also, if you know how, bring spear fish, but remember, NaPali Coast have rough seas and big waves ALL the time, so if you not experienced surf swimmer/diver, stay outa the water, cause no lifeguard ova there, ok? Now, for us, we expect to go into wilderness with only loincloth, spear, knife, some basic fishing stuff, and suppose to live offa land for one week, but since you haole,this notta a good idea, less you been schooled in how to survive, ok? Cause maybe you not spend lotta you life learn how to do this, ok? Now, read eva thing you can bout NaPali Coast, and trails in and out, and Waimea Canyon, and where to find game and fish, ok? Now, if you truly wanna live on the land for a week, you can't take no food or water with you, but can bring water treatment gear, cause no fun to die from bacteria and protozoa inna water, and for sure bring camera, but NO OTHA ELECTRONICS, no cell phone-won't work ova there anyway, but for sure tell people where you are, and what you do, ok?
Now, for sure I not spect you to know how to kill and prepare a wild pig, and for sure you can live without that, but also, you gotta find food, water, and shelter, ok? If you can killa pig or goat, then really you got it made for week, IF you know how to prepare the meat, how to cook it, and how to make it keep without spoil for several day, ok? Same way with fish, and gather wild plant for food, if you not know how, then notta good idea to do this, mobetta to just bring dehydrate food, find nice campsite, and enjoy NaPali Coast. My suggest, wait till September, cause permits for trail hard to come by inna summer, and for sure consider that "live offa land" possible, just not too much fun if you not know how to do...I mean, for you to live, fish, pig, plant, or goat gonna have to die, if you not ready for that, maybe stay ova at Marriott, and eat at McDonalds, ok? Peace and aloha to you!
