"Hey there, thanks for the friendship :-)
I am in Kununurra in the Kimberley, but plan to move to Darwin when I return to Oz in October/November. (An currently in Europe.)"

"Hi Soul Fruit,
I would have no idea where to get it in Fitzroy. I live in Kununurra, the tropical fruit bowl of Oz. (Or so they say.)
I grow my own, I get it free by the case load from my friends (many friends are farmers), I buy it straight off the…"

"Haha, I don't go to populated places. I live in one of the remoter regions on earth. About the size of Cal, one sealed road along the bottom edge of it, that's it. The rest is real wilderness. One tiny town 500 km to the east, one large country…"

Sprout seeds, grow micro greens, take a bunch of fresh food, soak as much dried fruit as you…"

"I wrote about that at the start of the thread somewhere. I know from experience that dried fruit won't keep me going. Unless those things are soaked I don't digest and assimilate them properly. And other than breakfast I won't have time to soak…"

"Well, it'll have to provide enough calories for the trek. 4000 - 5000 cal a day.
I just checked Cronometer. Is this a "Bear, black, meat (Alaska Native)" or rather "Game meat, bear, raw"?
(Sorry, I don't know much about bears. I can however tell…"

"Uh, nope. Maybe I should shift my activities to eastern Europe. Rumour has it they still have both. Just as well, since there's definitely no dates or naners growing over there."
