Thinking recently about a new idea which is to go camping, or something more long term like camping.
Buy a tent and all the things you need as a camper, like portable stove, batteries that can be recharged by the sun to power things like phone and laptop along with some reserve batteries. I can't live without computers really, it's life essence for me. I'm not even sure a laptop is enough for me but will give it a try. Then I would have it very comfortable and plenty of time to get accustomed to the thought of going through with a full drop hanging. I can live quite well like that camping in the beautiful summer time, easy access to tall trees to hang myself from, laptop in my tent, and I'm talking about a big tent, not one of those small ones only meant to sleep in. So I would have a little log to sit on, camp fire, tent with computer in it, a fishing rod, and a noose hanging from a tree next to the camp. Then I basically try live that kind of camper life style with the ultimate goal of CTB. It would be cheap living too since its free to set up a tent in the forest. Could rent out my apartment while I'm away on that trip just in case I find out I really don't have it in me after all... because it is very hard to go through with.. CTB is horrible even if the goal is beautiful.
I've seen some videos of people who go to live/camp in the forest for a month or longer, and they just wish to desperately go home because of boredom being out in the forest. But the thing is they don't have a computer with them, so of course they will get bored. I would make sure to go to a forest that I can get a internet connection in and bring my computer.
I like that plan more than taking the bus to go to a forest far away bringing a big ladder and rope onto the bus, and paying money for the round trip, and I mean it's not easy to go through with CTB, so you go there, spend whole day traveling and setting it all up, then chicken out and have to pack up and go home again. How many times would you do all that? That's why I think the long term camping plan sounds good because you have as much time as you want (or at least a few months until summer's over), to get into the right mindset to be able to go through with it.
