As we're moving foward into the logistical phases of the expedition,
Phoxx has compiled his list of gear selected as contingency provisions in response to any nautical challenges.
An example in this case would be potential capsizing, cold water immersion or otherwise separation from his craft should it roll and require that he bail from the "cockpit". Other scenarios would be a severe lack of essential resources such as, stone for crafting tools.
He has chosen certain pieces of updated technology for this
reason while maintaining his "bare minimum" philosophy.
Below you will find an updated list of "modern conveniences" that will be included in the initial outfitting of the rig.
1 PFD (life Jacket)
1 Wet suit
1 set of Map/Compass/navigational equipment.
1 Simple Knife and 1 hatchet to be used if stone for knapping is not available.
A few pieces of "tackle" to get him started
11' of paracord.

Welcome!
Welcome!
You've found the official blog for the Full Circle Kayak expedition. Full Circle' is a 67 day expedition that will be centered around the building of a hand made "skin-on" frame kayak and the practice of the necessary primitive living skills. This journey is the undertaking of a single adventurer. Phoxx will be utilizing the precious bounty that the land and sea will provide for him. The explorer must rely not only on his own carefully cultivated experiential knowledge of the natural world and wilderness living skills, but bring it all harmoniously to the challenges that he may encounter in meeting " mother nature" upon her own terms. Providing for his basic physical needs, whilst developing a rythym in his daily living, may be essential to the success of this trip. The goal is that Phoxx will set out with minimal gear, and depend entirely upon those skills to provide for himself.
The trip is set to venture out toward Vancouver Island in the summer of 2011. The kayak itself will be crafted by the very hands of wayfarer that navigates it and Phoxx will be residing on and around the island for a total of 67 days. Whilst in the embrace of the wild, our man will be utilizing all local resources to provide for shelter, food, warmth, fire and overall comfort and safety.
Keep up with us for updates and any changes to the current itinerary.You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter and of course, we welcome your questions, concerns, words of encouragement and whatever else. A trip like this has not been completed in over 250 years!
