Travel on foot what supplies should I bring?

Look into powdered soup mix and powdered drink mixes instead of MRE, they dont last as long and take up more space.

Look into a cooking kit, pan, plate and cup set in small unit

If you have the flint and steel, why do you also want the lighters.

What are you going to sleep in, sleeping bag ? what about rain, something that makes a tent ?

I will definitely check into the powder mix's thats a good idea. Also I dont know if I necessarily need all of the cooking supplies and things like a cup or plate just because after i cook anything I can use the pan i cooked in as my plate.

If I have a portable water bottle also the water bottle would be metal so I could heat it up and boil it just to sanitize it if need be.

Also for the tent, I thought about it and I feel like that takes up allot of space and is a lot of weight to carry and I might just bring a hammock and if need be make a natural tent instead of hauling one around but i dont know if i can get a cheep really small tent that would be worth carrying around.

I would also carry the flint and steel just for last basic need incase if my lighters broke because the lighters would be a quick somewhat easy way to get a quick fire. And if the fluid runs out it would be nice having the flint and steel.

Check out some of the survivial web sites, some of the tents are really not much larger than a poncho, go and sleep out a couple nights in hard rain and see if you may change your mind.

Also their are drinking containers that are purification straws that help in making water drinkable.

The tent I would get light weight and good reviews

This is a repost I didn't get many replies on the first one and I thought I would refresh it.

I wanted to travel on foot but I don't know if I am going south or north of Beloit Wisconsin (were I live). But if I did travel what should I bring? My thoughts are what ever I carry should be light but also not limit my necessities and should be able to live in ether city or forest areas. I do have some supplies growing up that I think will help but for instance I do not have much money as is to buy fancy equipment and wish to not have much money on me when I travel so what ever I bring should help me get my needs. I would also like to be living like this for at the least 4 weeks and at most 3 months.

I love the outdoors and I feel like I should experience something I am completely not use to and break free for a little in my life. Also I decided im 20 and I would physically only be able to do this because I don't have many responsibilities and now would probably be the best to go on this adventure.

If you could be helpful on things I may need other wise I would appreciate it and this is just a basic outline. also maybe where i should travel towards. I was thinking north to go more into the woods area.

Also I am not very experienced with this so maybe recommend some books I could bring along to know different herbs I could eat in the region.

I did want to do something like the movie "Into the Wild"

Thanks :)

You're doing this alone?

Since you're new at this, I suggest renting a cabin with a wood stove for a week. You will have a safe, dry place to sleep and be able to read up (by stovelight or lantern light) on trees and birds and spoor (animal traces), but will be able to hike in the woods to your heart's content. There might even be some other hearty renters around to socialize with or hike with (and learn from). Northern Wisconsin and Northern Michigan/the U.P. should have plenty of cabins for rent.

I did this at the Grand Canyon when I was 21 -- adventure of a lifetime!

You have a pretty big State park west of you, maybe you should start with a practice run and hike the park. Not sure about Wisconsin laws but in Illinois you have to stick to the roads and the troopers do not take kindly to folks with a matchete walking on a state road.
