I tried living in the woods on my own as a grown man ... just to see ... just to test myself. It's one helluva lot harder than most people would expect.
You ever seen those survivor shows? The ones where they're dropped off in some remote wilderness area. They get to take a few tools with them, but all they manage to do is build a shitty little shelter and start slowly starving. Whoever starves-out the slowest is 'the winner'. LMAO
But ... yeah ... it's just about like that. Only a matter of time before nature gets ya. A four-year old out in the jungle? For years? The jungle is one of the most inhospitable environments no one imagines. Yeah ... you might not freeze, but anyone with half a lick of sense can build a fire and keep from freezing. So much can get ya in a jungle. Holy Toledo.
Color me skeptical as well.
Yup, I hear a lot of people say they'd love to cancel the grid and go live in the woods. I wouldn't mind it myself. But once you really start thinking about all you need to do to survive, it is daunting, to say the least. Is that mushroom going to be delicious, or kill me?
Things could actually be going well, and you break a leg. Then what?
Shelter, food, clothing. Hunting and gathering. Knowing how to hunt. Knowing what you can and can't gather. I keep meaning to buy one of those books on things you can forage and eat. That would be your new Bible
