Well it depends on your character, where you are planning to live, and what your expectations are.

Like Kowalski said, it sounds like you are talking about homesteading.. setting up a permanant residence and farming it. If so, you will need to research the area and find not only crops that will thrive in that region, but you need to find about 3 or 4 crops that will balance each other out. Different crops leech different nutrients from the ground so if you dont rotate crops then you will have farmed your and to death. Clearly, if your crops are still growing and you have no stores or caches, you will need to hunt, fish, or gather berries, shoots, tubers, and whatever other wild vegetation is in your area. Alaska is a great place to do this, as they still have a homesteading program. Not to mention its about the most beautiful place in the world. And where I learned how to survive in the wilderness.

Personally, if I was to live off nature, I would be nomadic. Ideally, it would be in northern region where I can eventually adopt a pack of wolves and hunt with them. Other than that, I would traverse the land, picking and eating as I went, possibly setting up semi-permanant dwellings and caches as I range out and set boundaries. I would hunt and fish when the opportunity presents itself, and go where my whim would lead.

In other words, I would live. The way I was meant to. And the only way I could be happier was if I had a woman at my side who felt the same way.
GraziLovesMary Reviewed by GraziLovesMary on . Living off the land?? Hey guys, i was just wondering if actually living off the land would be difficult or not? I'm talking about like growing your own food to survive off of and hunting when you needed to. What kind of crop would be ideal to grow during the seasons and what exactly do you eat while your crop is growing? Rating: 5
