On Friday I will finally get to try out my get home plan. It is 50km (31miles) in the car but I estimate it will be more than 60 km because I will be going on a trail and through the forests. My girlfriend will drop me off at work and then after work I will walk home. I will be taking my bug out bag and stopping overnight somewhere in the forest.
I think this will be a good time to trial the route because the weather is a real mixture. Days can feel like +20c (68F) and nights can be near zero (32F).
My estimate is 2 days because I will not be starting the first day until after my work shift has ended.
My work location is in the city but as this is Finland the city only has 200,000 people and my work is right on the outskirts. The first 5 minutes walk is on a small street and then I am in the forest. I can then walk pretty much the rest of the way without leaving the forest. The general plan is to use the forest trails and make use of the lakes for water.
