I'd have to agree.
I agree too. Dr. Atkins would be pleased with that fare.
Looks like success to me......not for everyone, I'll agree....but hey, you do what you gotta do.
That guy is not in survival mode!
He is living in the artic alongside, among and married too, people that have lived in the Artic for 40,000 years!
If I decide to go live with the Amish for the remainder of my life how is that "survival"?
I would probably gain 20 pounds and die a fat happy old man with no radio, TV, or internet to remind me how crappy things were.

How is he not? I'm not as knowledgeable as many on here, but to me, survival is doing what you have to to SURVIVE. Living off the land, having a community for social interaction and safety, largely independent from the outside world...Quote:

The big difference is I work what many might consider a regular job while he puts in hours hunting, chopping, splitting, building, etc. While a subsistence lifestyle might seem harsh and unrealistic for many, I'll be he views it as just living.Quote:

Oh, and modern buildings.......apart from that , the 'life-style' is identical and no less harsh or dangerous than it was 200 years ago.
If I had my druthers, I'd be living as he does !!
