    Default Survival living

    OK. It's official. I'm living in the woods. I have myself squared away now. sold most everything, gave the rest away. moved to camp last night. I have clothes and supplies cached in a couple locations. I'm next to a river so i'll be doing more fishing now. I've always been comfortable in the woods skill wise, but i know theres alot more i'm going to learn now. let the fun begin!!

    Do you get wifi in the woods?

    On one hand, it isn't really primitive, on the other hand, keeping an Internet connection would be a valuable tool for recording your experiences.

    Good luck on your new lifestyle. Don't let the critters get into your caches.

    Yes i have wifi in the woods lol.... I'm not escaping in the woods to live as a recluse. I am living a more primitive lifestyle. sleep in the woods, fish, hunt for some,food but not all of it. I don't think one could completely disengage from the world unless your a tribesman in some undiscovered location. I'll keep you informed.

    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    No Ryan, i'm not in walking distance of wi-fi. I use an oak sapling covered in pine pitch and dip the tip in owl droppings. works better than wi-fi. Seriously though, your too serious.

    what's up sam. Right now i have a small tent but i'm in the process of building a more permanent structure in a more secure location. When i'm finished you'll have to be practically standing on it to see it. It will be a modified lean to style shelter.
