I really appreciate people who have the courage to step out of our society and rather live than being modern slaves to the corporations.

I wish we could all find a way to establish alternative societies, where we can use our modern knowledge and free technology to introduce a even modern way of living. Hopefully it will happen in the near future!

Thanks for the post, S&F.

Growing up in the south, and having years and years of hunting and outdoor experience, I feel as though I would do Ok to survive in the wild, Im not saying it wouldnt be extremely difficult, because it would. Ive actually camped for 5 days only bringing the bare essentials, and I hunted, and trapped my food, caught a rabbit the first day, then got really lucky with a deer kill, "yes it was deer season" so my food worries were over for that camping adventure. But seriously, people do under estimate just exactly how hard it is to survive, sure you can watch those survival shows and get a little bit of knowledge, but to get out there and do it is another show in itself, a person needs to be not only physically strong but mentally strong and very adaptive to any situation. Your best bet is to stay in a group, that not to big, but not small, and everyone has a job to do for that day. One must also know the ins and outs of cleaning and preparing a killed animal, utilizing all of the meat and other goodies, plus you must be able to store your own meats and food, High in protein also, you cant just live of rabbit, you would just waste away, not enough protein, I could go on forever, but like I said, try and do it for a few days, and youll get the picture of just how hard it is, and how fragile our very existence is.

I was worried about the bear scene though, it almost sounded as if the bear got off a few shots and might win!

LOL! That was funny! Thx for the input brotha!
