I live in Sweden, and it's damn near impossible to survive off the land here. In fact, the Swedish military did a comprehensive study where they tried to come up with a plan for how soldiers could live off the land if required by circumstance. The study was total failure - there was just no way to gather more calories than it took to gather them in this cold and barren land! Their final advise to anyone lost in the woods in Sweden was "start walking towards civilization". |

Things don't grow well here, life is hanging on by a thread. In the old days, the king of Sweden had to constantly travel around his kingdom like a traveling merchant, never staying more than a month or two at the same place. This was because not even the most prosperous part of his kingdom could bear the burden of feeding his court for an extended period of time. That's how bad this land is. I'm not at all averse to the idea of surviving off the land, but not this close to the North pole! |

Young woman here.. don't get me wrong I love my family and possessions but I hate this beast system and know I could survive. For the time being I will live with joy, but am prepared to part with my materials if need be. Ever since I was little I stayed outside and observed the environment... built a shelter out of sticks and logs at 12 and it survived a year and a half till some punks tore it down. I can hunt and am very nature-savvy. Everyone has a skill(s) to bring to the table, and if the times comes I pray to be ready. Saving up with hubby to move to the middle of nowhere in the next couple years to live on our own farm to escape this madness! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66383327 Anyone else? All the time, this is also why im a doomer, doom would force us to do so ! |

With man dominating man, destroying his brother, friend, home, and the centralizing of powers in the earth to lead us into a "brave, new world", a culture celebrating death. It is the desert for all of us. The only question is, do you go there and learn to grow out of it, or do you stay where you are until the desert comes to you? We all may have to learn to live in a barren wasteland soon. |
