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

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.
