Stocking up for food and water for two months is not too hard, but two months without any way of disposing of waste is the tricky one.

Almost everyone we meet stay for at any one place for at most week or two, then they have to make their way back to the city to dispose of trash, refuel, charge their batteries and restock.

@brisling we're not really heading anywhere, we've established camp in a bay somewhere and are not really planning on leaving until the fall.

It's perfectly quiet here, beautiful walks, very sheltered. We don't really feel like moving on from here.

@neauoire Nothing wrong with staying places for as long as they feel right.

@neauoire yep, we start to run out of fresh food after a week, low on water after 2-3 weeks. Then dry food would see us through a month with some foraging.

Power is pretty infernate and fuel over a year traveling 1,000+ km's #boatingeurope #lifeboat

@hamishcampbell we found that instead of cooking dried legumes, if we sprout them, it halves their cooking time, make them more bioavailable and gives us fresh greens each day, it's very cost-efficient. I'd recommend it.

We've been eating pickled vegetables(cauliflower, carrots, onions, rutabaga) that we made over the winter, it's the next best thing after fresh, and it requires no refrigeration. Might be something fun to try too.

@neauoire am planning a 3 year voyage down the Volga to iran, if the war ends at some point.

And pickles will be plentiful in the ex USSR :)

@neauoire let's see how the war in Ukraine plays out. It's toss a coin if Russia opens up after this mess is over.
