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.
