A huge part of me longs to leave modern society and live a hunter gatherer lifestyle full time.
Is that an impossible dream in todays world.
You never know where you end up if you dont do the first steps.
1. Dont buy ready packed chicken, go to a farmer buy them alive and kill them, gut them and prepare them.
2. Dont buy fish and chips but catch them yourself, kill the fish and prepare. Not onces on a course but everytime you want to eat a fish. Make it a rule, you only eat meat which you prepared yourself. Most people cant hunt but you can buy a fluffy rabbit from a farmer instead and kill it to prepare your food.
2. Dont buy ready bread but bake it yourself
3. Help a farmer for no pay but for the rights to plock some fruits and vegetables and the right to put up a tent in his fields and live there.
4. Dont use the shower but go and take a swim in the lake, if the lakes are to dirty where you live buy a shower sack, fill it with cold water and have a shower. If you like warm showers warm the water up on the stove before. Not onces but every time you want to take a shower.
5. Make you own cloth, dont buy it.
the ideas are endless, I guess you got my wink. If after some weeks you still like it you can extend your dreams. Learn more and get in contact with guys who have a cabin.
You can rent them cheap and spent a year in a cabin in the wilderness.
The idea is to make it a lifestyle without going out and living in the bush. You can do plenty interesting things but people often dont want to do the first steps. Do the million little steps and you get somewhere. Remember if you can live the hard way at home you can make it too later in the bush.
There was one guy in germany who walked through the entire nation not using any help of bridges, food or money. He was eating what he found, swiming through rivers, sleeping in the forest without a tent, drinking water from dirty rivers etc etc.
There was a guy here on the forum called "Monkey" or something, that guy slept a entire year outside in the woods, in the moring packing in and going to work, after work, back to the woods and sleeping there. If I remember right he was working in IT or webdesign or something. Quite tuff guys. So here you got some ideas to start living the hunter and gatherer life.
At least you will learn a lot about yourself.
cheers
