16 year old lad living the bushy dream
- Thread starter Kerne
- Start date
A lovely story to read. He's doing what he loves. But He's also doing what come natural to him, It sounds like he has lived that sort of life since has been born. his Mum sounds like an out door person. She has done a grate job of showing him the world b taking him to see other tribes and other ways of living.
I hope all his dreams come true and he can work in the outdoors what he so loves.

Mine too. But I'm not sure that I will ever get there. That's not a bad thing. Its journey there that counts.
Sounds like a great experience behind him and to come, good on his mum for such a start.

He sounds such a capable lad 
His Mum must be so pleased.
I hope life is rich in experience and companionship for him; if he ends up a writer like his Mum those books might be well worth

Another one like myself. Forest/moorland dweller botanose panbow here, to wish this aspiring dweller some luck in his future. It is great to know my way of life has become influential to the lives of young bushmen. It is not easy being a globally acclaimed role model.
Young man, I have written you a short good luck poem:
A future bushman has been born
to live amongst the moss and thorns
to rise and hunt at the crack of dawn
in the fotty hills of the Cairngorms.
living in the live of a bushman
isnt easy at the best of times
so if I fowl beast swoops above
fire your arrow towards the sky
good luck bushman zeki basan, if you need anymore bush advice, contact me via messenger kestrel and I will be glad to share my invaluable knowledge with you.
Once again, thank you to all of my fans.

Zeki was at the wilderness gathering this year with Willow. He seemed a really nice guy. Good luck to him and his future.

"Wow! Lucky chap! It's always been my dream to live off grid and self sufficient "
the harder you work the luckier you get
the harder you work the luckier you get
"Its the journey there that counts" and similar statements:
Is it really? I wonder about that. For example, if you just went and did it then (eg) you'd be actually living that life, your goal.
If on the other hand, you debated, planned, dallied, etc etc, then eventually did it, would that be better? You'd have missed living it for the "journey" time.
To pick hard goals is I suppose "better" than picking simple ones.
If anyone REALLY wants to live off-grid (eg) - then all necessary info is readily available - so where's the journey? JUST DO IT - and if you can't/won't - don't bleat!
