A month solo sounds great to me but I know I would love a midway break of coming out for maybe a half day to regroup and talk to actual people.

Carrying all that weight like ST did just doesn't sound appealing to my old bones.  I like to be stealthy and not like a mule.  I say go for a parachute drop in a lake.  Use a mirror to signal the pilot. Yeah, that's it.  Then burn the crate and chute and be on your way.
