Have any of you simply thought of walking off?

[Ghengis Chron]

Most of us are so far detached from the environment around us that I'm not sure the majority of mankind could survive on their own..in the wilderness. I know I could, I have a love for being in the woods. There's something special to me to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the primal elements, surviving off of only what you really need. To instead of being detached from the environment, detach yourself from society.

Sometimes I just get strong urges to grab a back pack and take off into the wilderness for good.

[Nochowderforyou]

I too have had thoughts of someday just leaving for the woods, but then I think of my guitar. Sure, I could play acoustic, but electric kicks so much ass, so I said fuck it.

Someday when I'm older, perhaps, but right now, nah...I'm enjoy making money and buying all this kick ass stuff for myself. Not to mention the weed ain't bad either, but you could grow it outside in the woods too. Surround your cabin with weed plants. Then cops would show and say, "you can't live here" and that would be the end of that.

:stoned:

[affasd]

Ya i would love to do that. I actually plan on doing it at some point maybe in a couple years. mostly cause i hate how shit is here and i dont like being forced to live the way the government says to. but before i can do this i need to take some classes and shit cause i wouldnt be able to survive on my own right now at least not very well

[Charkie02]

I wouldn't mind staying the night or weekend in the woods. It is relaxing I know that. I think I could survive on my own in the wilderness but how will I ever know?

[GraziLovesMary]

Every time I get within visible distance of a forest, the urges and instincts become physical pulls and nearly audible calls for me to just break out and start running towards it. A mecca of environment and instinct. Survival and wild-tendencies.. the civility is gracefully drained out of my bones as I become more animalistic.

I love the woods. I live for the survival. I am the wild.

Yes... I too get those urges. Every day of my life.

[thcbongman]

I dream of going into the woods, being an animal, living off the land . I think life would be simpler and more satisfying.

[silkyblue]

omg!

Why are Earth would ya want to or need to live in the woods? Wild?

we havent lived in the wild in 2000 years in America anyway,

Move to a third World country they still rely on a Donkey <><


ever heard of campgrounds? campers? pop ups are good! keeps your ass off the cold ground

what would you eat/ road kill? poison berries?

how would you get your water? ice? cereal? cold glass of milk ? with granmas warm chocolite cookies? hmmm? Water?

If ya boil creek/river water you MIGHT avoid some dead carcass germs thats died in the creek, creek/river water is well known to b unsanitary~

what are ya gonna do when your shoes wear out from walking?

what about toilets ya just gonna shit in the dirty? a leaf! as toilet paper dont sound fun !

Living in the wild will kill ya we arent cave people

Id get another brain fart

:stoned:

[Cannabis-Sativa]

i'm doing that when spring comes around, moving in the mountains in CO. i'm preparing right now, and im leaving in march

[thcbongman]

No one said it would be comfortable, like were some hippies prancing in a meadow.......everyday would consist of surviving. I have an attraction to the hardship.

I would hunt, fish, and eat bugs. I would grow my own food as well, and scour. I would boil my water with a fire. But I'm not phobic towards the quality of my water since I'm drinking water likely contaminated with lead anyway. Hard to say nature would contaminate drinking water with lead pipes.

As for something to put on my feet, I'll figure it out eventually and deal with the pain.

And yup, if I was living in the wild, I'd have no desire wipe my ass ;)

Of course I wouldn't do it, because I enjoy being comfortable as well. But a cabin in the woods would be a nice compromise!

[Cannabis-Sativa]

yeah, it disgusts me when people are "grossed out" in nature, because people are putting SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many toxins into their bodies every day when they eat any man made food, or let alone drink water. living off the land is much more pure then in this insane world were tricked into seeing as "the normal"

[silkyblue]

youd be "frog gigging" in no time
before ya know it youd just rip the heads off and suck the

juice~~


ahhh what a life~~

:thumbsup:

[GraziLovesMary]

omg!

Why are Earth would ya want to or need to live in the woods? Wild?
For the pure freedom of action, with no responsibility other than to stay alive. A simple task for those so trained.

we havent lived in the wild in 2000 years in America anyway,
Visit Alaska.

Move to a third World country they still rely on a Donkey <><A possibility, but instead of being clean and untouched it is filthy.

ever heard of campgrounds? campers? pop ups are good! keeps your ass off the cold ground
So does piling up leaves and evergreen branches. And sometimes the cold ground feels good.


what would you eat/ road kill? poison berries?
Animals that I have killed, bugs, vegetation. I have a pretty good mental catalogue of edible plants and berries from around the world in different climate zones.

how would you get your water? ice? cereal? cold glass of milk ? with granmas warm chocolite cookies? hmmm? Water?
Condensation, precipitation, above or underground water springs or sources, vegetative material. Obviously a cold glass of milk and some cookies would be out of the question. I could care less. If you are in an arctic climate, ice is readily available. And where theres ice, theres water.

If ya boil creek/river water you MIGHT avoid some dead carcass germs thats died in the creek, creek/river water is well known to b unsanitary~
If you boil water for 10 minutes you WILL kill all bacteria and viruses, it will taste slightly flat, but will be absolutely safe.

When surrounded by salt water, you can form a type of solar still where some type of film is suspended over the salt water. Heat from the sun will cause the water to evaporate where it will condensate on the film. If you set it up to drip down in a separate bowl, that water will be desalinated and safe to drink.

what are ya gonna do when your shoes wear out from walking?
Find two bunnies and shove a foot in each one of their asses. Voila, bunny slippers. Moccasins are not hard to make at all, and very very effective. Animal hyde boots with fur are warm as well when properly constructed.

what about toilets ya just gonna shit in the dirty? a leaf! as toilet paper dont sound fun !
Find a downed tree. Sit on it, shit over the other side in a pre-dug hole. Cover it up. Use non-poisonous leaf. Its not as bad as it sounds. And yes Ive done it countless times.

Living in the wild will kill ya we arent cave people
Living in the wild will kill somebody who wasnt meant to.
Some of us, however, have a bit of wild still in us.

Id get another brain fart

:stoned:

The comforts of modern life often times feel more like complexities. I can survive much more comfortably if all my energy is going towards survival and enjoyment of my surroundings. I could effortlessly live for the next hundred years with nothing but a knife. There are others like me as well.

I spent 8 years in Alaska, and went out for weeks at a time in -30 degree weather with nothing but some kind of warm clothes, a knife and a couple matches. I had a blast every time, and hated coming back.

[Chaotixxx]

Theres a movie coming out about this, the preview looked insane. Cant remember the name..

THIS MAN KNOWS!!!


Edit: Also about staying warm, you dig 2 trenches about a foot longer then your body 5 feet apart parallel to each other and start a fire in them and sleep between on evergreen branches, warm and comfortable year around

[NORAD58]

I just bought a cabin the the Adirondack Mountains near Lake Placid about 5 miles away from Whiteface Mountain (im a BIG skiier). In fact, I closed on the place last Friday. I am completely in shock that I finally got the place of my dreams. I live in New York City so you can imagine how I felt when I sat in the living room in my cabin at night in the middle of nowhere and sparked up a nice full bowl of Haze and about 20 deer ran across the property...the exhale and subsequent rush let me know that I had arrived at my destiny. I love the woods and the outdoors in general but we cant go completely wild, were not built for it anymore. If youre going to buy a place like mine do it now because if you dont you'll be at least a year older when you do. EVERYONE IS INVITED...ESPECIALLY THE LADIES!!

[tenajtimmad]

ill be honest, i might be able to live there with some friends and family or something.. but i would never want to stay in the woods for anything longer than a camping trip.

Well... im sure you are a woman... in this case, i fear you would never understand it... its a male thing... as we man would never understand what is the matter in going outside without makeup and so... :p

BTW, i also would love to live isolated from the society, in a far place... i plan to do it as soon as possible... to have my own house (or cave if possible), with all psychedelic plants, cacti, mushrooms, frogs, etc... and live a happy life. :stoned:

[Cannabis-Sativa]

its a male thing...

yessir

[silkyblue]

boys will b boys ~~ stay safe ~~

[Ghengis Chron]

It's not even that it's a male thing, it's that I went to prove to myself what I'm worth. And to me, the only way to prove that, is to get down to the absolute basics of life (in my opinion)..survival.

In addition to that, I'm sick of people and sick of Society in general. I'de get along just fine without society.

I dont necessarily want to be a "wild man" or anything like that. I'll build a log cabin (I know how) on a spot I'll deem eligible. A spot where I can maintain a large garden with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I'll bring some guns and ammo, ya know, the basics.

As someone above stated, life in society seems actually more complex than life alone in the woods would. That's all I want, to live peacefully in my own humble abode. It's a real Stoic philosophy I've been exposed to. When you're surviving in the woods, there's no chance you can overindulge in certain things, you take what you need to survive, which often times is a moderate amount. Moderation is key. The Golden Median.

[dankified]

theres nothing like food cooked on a fire. youll never have better food, in my opinion.

[Nochowderforyou]

I think someone leaving civilization for good and being tested in the wild for true survival would be an interesting event for someone to go through.

What would you do to survive? Sit there and cry for mommy or grab a rock, sharpen a point and stab an animal of some kind. Cavemen did it, so why couldn't any of us.

I'll see you in the woods! :D

[Gare206]

Theres a movie coming out about this, the preview looked insane. Cant remember the name..

Into the wild your probably thinking of also a book. ill tell u i never read books in my life my dad told me to read it and how good of a book it was i read 100 pages the first day. an incredible story, i still wanna see the movie but i recommend it to anyone

[yoda]

I too have had thoughts of someday just leaving for the woods, but then I think of my guitar. Sure, I could play acoustic, but electric kicks so much ass, so I said fuck it.


preach it dude!

nah too much shit id wanna keep. and i doubt i could watch the skins games on a tree.....

[spongebobsmokepants]

My question is how far into the woods are we going to go? Are you driving a car? or can we hire a plane to drop us off at some remote lake in canada?

[Chaotixxx]

I always thought about that, until I think about how easy life is. And how you couldnt even get a can of soda in the wild.... fuck it.

[Ghengis Chron]

I read Into the Wild couple years ago, read it in 3 hours. Great book, great read, real inspirational. I'm skeptical to see the rest of the movie, you know how that goes. However I strongly recommend reading the book first, the movie seems to take on a different point of view from what I experienced from the book.

[Purple Banana]

Hell yeah, every summer I take a walking trip from Baltimore to the beach... 200 miles, and I get to sleep on the beach (if I'm not caught by the cops). We camp out on the fringes of farmer's fields, and it's a GREAT bonding experience. Not to mention good exercise.

Yoda and thcbongman, you're MORE than welcome to join this year in August :)

It's not just a guy's thing! Us ladies like nature, too!

[VoidLivesOn]

haha hippies.

i for one like noise and the constant barrage of entertainment right at my fingertips of opening a door.

and skateparks and going places. what the fuck is there to do looking at a bunch of trees. sure its peaceful but i would lose my freaking mind doing the same crap everyday.

[InsomniaBomber420]

I think about it all the time but I woul miss human interactment to much. But if we could start a collony of stoners with no technology in the woods and build our own shelters and grow/hunt our own food that would be all time!
ohh and grow lots of sweet sweet chiba in many varieties of coarse

[GraziLovesMary]

boys will b boys ~~ stay safe ~~

Boys dont usually last too long in the wild without the luxuries of modern life. Grown men and women who have experience and knowledge have a bit of an easier time.

[smokerofweed420]

I too would like to do that someday. Just get a big knife, maybe pack some supplies, maybe not. Walk out into the middle of some huge forest or nature preserve. Learn how to survive. Then mabye build a shelter or something. Personally, i would like to first clear some land and build a log cabin. Then id stock it with some supplies and i'd hunt and grow my own food, not to mention my own weed. Being that far away from society, you really wouldn't have to worry about cops. You could do literally whatever you want to without fear. Plus it would be so peaceful, living out in nature. No TV, no radio. Just a guitar or other acoustic intrument. Spending the days outside tending the vegetable garden/farm.

There's actually this place in northern MO called Dancing Rabbit eco-village. Its like this self-sufficient commune where people grow all their own food and make the buildings out of what's around them. They do have a car and they use biodiesel to power it. I would like to live in a place like that. As long as they let me grow all the cheeba i wanted to. Ahh, fantasies...

I wanna fly to another country on the red eye,
leave american propagnda with capitalism behind

I love camping and the fireplace 2

but give me bright lights and cities

Nature's beauty utterly dwarfs any potential structure of man.

Trees > Skyscrapers.

I view humanity as a virus, simply leeching the life out of something so beautiful so that it can survive.

very well said...usually at least once a year I take off into the woods here (abundant source of woods around where I live) and just stay gone as long as I fancy, I usually take some string, a lighter, knife and hatchet...I have never in my life been -30 degree weather, or even close to it...not sure how I'd handle the northern outdoors, haha.

hehe well you get used to it. You try to dress as appropriately as you can, and you also learn alot of heat retention techniques.

[TryptamineScape]

that's where I'd be lost...heat retention...I usually go off alone here in the woods in Alabama in the middle of the summer, so I'm usually doing just the opposite haha.
