Yosemite National Park – My Getaway

Its 2am and I am leaving for Yosemite National Park in 2 hours at 4:00 in the morning. We will be hiking a trail called Vendetta which is 2 days hike there and 2 days back. It’s been snowing in Yosemite recently but today the weather condition is clear and the next 5 days of weather looks nice
My hiking trip is an update to my post, How to Survive When the System Breaks Down – Emergency by Neil Strauss, where I said one of things I would do is learn more survival skills. In this trip I’ll be bringing a very minimal amount of gear except an extra waterproof jacket and waterproof gloves which will come in handy while all of the snow in Yosemite is melting.
Since growing up in the major city this is actually my 2nd time camping and my first time hiking so I am hoping for an adventure. I am going with a few eagle scouts and friends from Empower Poly Coalition, so hopefully I will learn a thing or two about using what I can find the wilderness and begin learning how to survive in nature.
I will be gone until Thursday but expect lots of epic pictures when I get back.
