   Felix,

   I understand your situation about getting proper equipment. I went to Singapore in December and couldn't believe the humidity (and the mosquitos!)

   Don't get too depressed – it's just the timing, that's all. You're visiting at the very end of the climbing season. Kamikochi is usually an extremely popular place for tourists, but you might be rewarded with far less crowds. I hope you have some warm clothing for the frigid nights. Expect temperatures to be below zero even during the day in the higher elevations.

   Even if you don't make it to the top of Mt. Yari, I think you can still have a wonderful time. Clean air, a beautiful river, pristine scenery, and maybe even a bear or two. Plus, if the weather is good then you'll be staring up at massive snow-capped peaks.

   My advice would be to hike up as far as you feel comfortable with. Always have a back-up plan and set a turnaround time if you don't think you can make it up before dark (it gets dark around 5:30pm nowadays)
   Try to pack some emergency supplies in case you get caught in bad weather. (extra clothing, an emergency survival blanket, and a flashlight are essential)

   Hi Edward , Probably Army surplus stores for packet meals of the add hot water kind. Otherwise Rice ,pulses dried beans peas etc. tinned food vegetable oils flour both Strong for bread and regular for sauces pastry Sweet etc. All the non perishables sugar honey. If you looked through your cupboard Im sure you will find many things that would keep if sealed in drums etc Do you want to go as basic as making your own noodles or keep dried ones? It really depends how far you want to think. If you were thinking end of the world you would have to go much deeper storing guns and ammo batteries fuel the list is endless . There are many survival sites online you could brows through. I hope that helps, all the best. Rab.
