I'm doing something similar to this very soon and have a shitload of questions:

1) How dangerous is Africa/the Middle East? For that matter, how dangerous is the rest of the world? I'm sort of talking about robbers but I'm also talking about police and even poisonous animals. I'm afraid to hike around and live out of a tent in the US due to our strict enforcement of anti-homelessness laws.

2) What is your gear list? I'm planning on bringing a JOOS solar charger and a rugged, waterproof RAZR M smartphone for blogging/pictures/music/etc. Good idea? How many liters was your backpack? Anything you wish you brought but didn't?

3) Would it be worth it to carry a weapon, such as a machete? Would it be confiscated by police or attract too much unwarranted attention?

4) What did you eat? Did you do any hunting/fishing/foraging? About how many calories per day?

Thank you so much for doing this AMA!
