It would be a great thing to be proficient living off the land like some of our ancestors would have done that weren't part of a large society with no government. I know living outside the grid today is different than many centuries ago but I like to think if you found a place secluded by itself you could do that.
First thing that comes to mind is Native American lifestyle before the powers of Europe arrived. One really needs to figure out a shelter, food source and of course water to begin with. One would have to be resourceful and with that a lot of things can come of that.
I know this way of living is something that tweaks your interest. I ask you friend how would you begin this journey if you had the opportunity? Or better put if you were left with a limited amount of stuff to start out with what would those be If any?
I have lived in the city and the country side. I miss the quiet (peaceful) and natural state of the country side. Cheers Amigo and have peaceful days ahead 😁
That is my lifelong dream, to live in a remote area on my own, away from the city, growing my seeds, harvesting fruits, and with my breeding animals.
To begin with, if I had the opportunity I would do it in a distant country in South America, preferably China, Vietnam or Thailand. In reality, I wouldn't need anything other than the land, that the property was mine and that they would let me make my home in that place. I would craft my own tools, my axes, my knives, absolutely everything to start from scratch.
I have lived on a farm, and I would never change it for the city, I much prefer the type of life in the city Bob. It is more my style, relaxed, without worries other than my animals, my land and my home, without being aware of taxes, the Internet or the problems of the world and its politicians, wars and all that which is so intoxicating.
