Yes, I think I'll keep that in mind. Do you know if there's anything naturally grown that's safe to eat on the routes? Or maybe a place that sells survival guides? I'd hate to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere with not enough supplies to last a trip.

Well, if he has a different opinion with me, I'll be sure to tell you. Thank you very much for the advice, Rose! This is proving most helpful.
