Well I got a couple of questions since my departure date is coming up in 49 days *Excited!* It's going to be my first BIG trip so I am getting nervous. Had a few little trips but my boyfriend has been close enough to bail me out if things go wrong, I won't have anyone on this trip. Oh a little background info is helpful I guess. I'm going cross Canada from BC to Newfoundland. Stealth/Camping or warmshowers most of the way. Panniers on a LHT with cooking most of my own food.

Here is my questions.

1: Shaving can it be done? Should it? What's the easiest way if there is an easy way?
2: Going it alone, is there many creeps out there to be worried about?
3: Should I carry a knife? Spray?
4: What's the worst type of area to watch out for?
5: What to do in bike short with that time of the month?
6: Anything else I have forgotten goes here.
