I lost both parents in the last winter. Its ok, no pain there. They lived long full happy lives. It was a release for both of them when they passed.
But the Inheritance left me in a position where I can indulge myself a bit.
Already have a lot of guns, tools, cool stuff.
So I encouraged my wife to take early retirement at 62.
And bought a Forest River R-pod travel trailer, a 189.
20 feet 4 inches, 3,000 lbs empty.
And we just bought a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado for our tow vehicle.
Plan is to load up in October and be in Jacksonville Nc for Christmas.
After that I'd like to explore Ga and Florida. Spend what is 5-6 months of snow and cold misery down in the SE states.
You guys who live down there, tips? I'm wanting to get back to the wild at least a little.
Do some boondocking for 2-4 days then spend a night at a campsite with full hookups to dump tanks, refill water, propane, recharge battery's, shower, wash clothes, restock. Then move a few miles and repeat.
This is all new to me so I have been researching like crazy.
Spent over 1k at Harbor Freight for a Generator and tools.
Have more than that in our Amazon cart.
While I might dip a toe into the Keys and everglades I'm more interested in north central and panhandle area's.
My wife and I both love to fish. Hoping to teach her to snorkle down there in the springs clear water. We have Kayaks, although I am considering gifting our old ones to our daughter and buying a couple of new sit on top models.
I would bring at least a pistol, a shotgun, and a rifle. Would love to get into some feral pig hunting.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
