This is the amount of time that I have not had a fixed home; moving to a new country, culture and language every few months and taking absolutely everything I own with me. It has been a significant percentage of my life, and it’s still long from over. I had actually done some travelling before – a couple of summers in the states, and an entire month already in Spain.
If you ever have an emergency while out in the wild an effective way of getting help is to start a signal fire. You can make a fire with white or black smoke depending on your fuel source; choose whichever color provides the most contrast; Natural vegetation will produce white smoke and petroleum products produce black smoke.
