Surviving in the wilderness

[pete lynch]

Without a doubt, this is the #1 favorite question for trolls (and children) here at WSF.
Anymore, I just don't enjoy watching the feeding frenzy like I used to.
Now, I don't mind a bit of ROTTW when I get the chance, but in most cases I return from the woods the same day.
Is it just me or does the frequency of ROTTW posts increase with the showing of "Alone in the Wilderness" during those PBS fund drives? Hmm.....

That or when their parents make them clean the basement.

Hmmm...I have heard this before..I suggest, you become knowledgeable..and I mean very knowledgeable on surviving in the woods. You might wanna go out into the country and learn how to live there first, by working with the people there. You can earn for your living and at the same time learn.
This is all I can advise as I will not advise you on going out and live in the wilderness alone yet. Learn the basics, then proceed to the highest level.
Once you are an expert, and still have the will to do so, you may decide by yourself.

Very well said!!

Nope, for the High Schools it is the 5th week of the first semester and time for tests. (Been there, done that for 35 years)

WOW and I though cousin Billy Willie was bad. Took him five years to "gradgeate" 7th grade.

I am currently a senior in high school. When I graduate college (parents making me go), I plan on going somewhere to live in the woods for many years. I am not concerned about the legality of where I will stay. I do have questions however. Where would be an ideal place to survive in the wilderness all year? In the USA. and what skills would I need to know and be able to do to actually be able to live there for years at a time? Like a list everything I'll need to know how to do would be great. And again, I'm not worried about the legality of living in a state park, national park, etc. I Just want an ideal area to stay. Not too cold or hot. Thanks

What will you be studying while attending college? You should study REALITY IN THE MODERN WORLD if even there is a course such as that.
Where would the ideal place place to survive in the wilderness all year? First, there is no such puppy as an ideal place. It's called wilderness for a reason. You're not there to survive, you're there to thrive. Oh wait, there was one such ideal place, but man or should I say woman boffed that up ...

My advice to you: get an education, get a job, save some capital, buy some land of your own choosing away from civilization, live on said land as a hermit, meditate, find nirvana and realize it's more difficult than it seems.., and come down from your fantasy cloud.

Never mind, I can't believe I just ranted to a TROLL...for get about it.

Just go and keep you mouth shut?

I agree with most here. It's not easy. Just going into your backyard for 3 days will show you how tough it is. I suggest getting a job and saving your money. While at the same time gain knowledge and experience. In a couple years but some land. And if you still have the same dream build a cabin. Make a self reliant homestead for yourself. Learn farming, raising cattle or other source of food. Learn how to smoke and can food. All skills that can go everywhere. And don't forget physical fitness. Your body must be able to handle it. If advise you team up with a buddy, or find someone who can teach you. Internet and books are great but putting hands on is best. And then after a while you could be ready to effectively take on Mother Nature at her best.....in the wild. But never jump into a scenario you "think" you can handle. Do trail runs, 24hr the 72hr and so fourth. Trust these members on this site. We've all done it or have studied it.
