The best plan, is to plan to go by yourself. If you don't want it bad enough to go by yourself, and if you can't make a plan based only on your own skills & strengths, then you are not ready to make the most of this adventure. Think outside your box. Learn to cook on a beer can stove. Practice taking a "shower" with a plant mister. Imagine how well you can live outdoors with what you are capable of carrying yourself!
Do not limit yourself to what some other person has in mind!!!
Once you have your plan together, find another person who is going solo, and pair up, on a purely take-it-or-leave-it basis.
That way you can both be radically self reliant, while watching each other's backs. You might wind up being BFFs, like me & Graidawg.
