wilderness living

Jojo has been living off-grid in a tent for 18 months, the last 12 of which have been on an island in Sweden! He has a 5 meter (16-foot) Sibley Bell tent set up on a platform, a wood stove for heat, a multi-fuel stove for cooking, a solar panel and a car battery for charging devices, and...

I'm trying to learn as much as I can before heading out. I'd really appreciate any advice because I can imagine things ending poorly if I mess these up. These are the ones I've tried out so far.

Started traveling south from Grand Rapids Michigan after a little break we took there. Here's a couple places we've found to sleep on the way. Kalamazoo, off 131 Oshtemo Park. Public restrooms and decently wooded, it being behind the fore dept and police station spooked us a little but it's...

Considering options... I just want to be free, live in the woods, off the land. Is that too much to ask? I’m so sick of the “modern world.” I’d love a little cabin in the woods, off grid. I want to hunt and fish, forage, and have a garden. I want a simple, natural lifestyle. Currently, my...

IF you are traveling across southern NY/PA border, be sure to check out the NY-DEC website list of numerous state forests. Most allow free camping up to 3 days with groups up to 10 persons. The DEC has state forests all over NY but there are 100s of them along the southern counties. List of...

I have just returned from two weeks in the wilderness to see the world on fire. Guess I'll be heading back soon as people all around are acting weird, angry and fearful. The Gila National Forest is immense. One hundred miles across from any direction, there is isolation in abundance. I left...

Whatsup everyone. Let me start off saying I'm fairly unfamiliar with camping and such in general, only gone a handful of times. I'm from Northeastern Ohio; best places I've heard of being Hocking Hills if you're familiar with the area. Same time considering going camping at a local bike trail...

I've been stuck in NYC for the last like 4 years in an apartment. I want to go into the woods for awhile and live off the land, somewhere I'm not going to be bothered by landowners or cops/rangers. I want to be able to build stuff and if I have to worry about rangers kicking me off of state...

Dunno If some of you sometimes or in the past have gone onto Google maps, looked at all the remote Islands and places on the world, a lot which have no humans on them an thought it a be cool to travel, explore or set up communities there. Sometimes there'll be like some houses or something on...

I've been wanting out of the grind for awhile now and it looks like it might be coming soon. I had plans to move to the pnw last year around this time but I trashed my shoulder at work and have been saving money while on workmans comp for a whole year. I'm tired of grinding my whole life away...

I've watched this show quite a few times when I'm able and one thing is very clear- Unless you have your shit together, you're not going to make it very long in the wilderness just by fishing and trapping. There is such a thing called Rabbit starvation. UNLESS you have a hunting rifle, or...

Just met this badass elder at Between the Rivers, she's done all kinds of cool shit and they're trying to make a movie about her movie trailer

I don't know much about them. I just take a homies word that they're okay. If I go into the wilderness I need to know which ones are safe to eat, which take on magical journeys, and which ones kill me. I took a quick glance at the forums but didn't find what I was looking for. I might just be...

I did a bit of hiking on the AT recently. And of coarse I got licked up by some weather. My pad was already doomed from the start, so I knew before hand a Plan-B to stay warm in my hammock. LEAVES! Look to the squirrel nests for inspiration. I can't promise staying dry but you can stay warm...

Thomas J. Elpel has some really great articles on Wilderness living. I find his writing very informative, and also very inspiring. Especially his thoughts on escaping the destructive cage known as modern society. http://www.hollowtop.com/Articles/Quest_for_Freedom.htm

Anybody ever though about grabbing just what you need to survive and never worrying about living around the human population again. The way the world has become these past 10 years kind of sucks and i dont know how much longer i can cope around a large number of people anymore.

All I see in this godforsaken country is cities, farms and institutions of planet destruction. But maybe I'm wrong, are there any large areas of unruined nature anywhere in the lower 48? Finding a place to live in nature is becoming a forgotten fantasy and it breaks my heart and spirit even more.

So, I'm planning a trip this spring and it'll be my first time heading out to the west coast. I know bears are more of a problem there than they are in the places I've spent time in so basically I'm trying to figure out how to deal with storing my food and other bear-attracting items. How...

the last 30 seconds of this video are my favorite reaction ever to starting a fire, you may find it funny

any one spend a long time living out in the woods? where did ya? and how dou you accumulate enough money for fishing and hunting license? im more curious about any encounters with the law well doing so? and just general stories of people who love to be in the woods

I hate my current life and I want to leave it all behind. I have little cash and little survival experience. I'm looking for a place that has little to no winter. Any ideas or advice?

Hello there fellow people! :) I know this may crazy, but is it possible to make some type of Survival Shelter(s) in the bush, im up in northwestern ontario, canada, the weather has been pretty cold, Its -14°C, but it FEELS LIKE-21 but wondering with the right gear, stuff in the bush and a...

If anyone can tell me or link me to resources on how to make jerky outside in the woods or preservhng meat without regrigiration id appreciate it

For those of you that do some wilderness living these things are worth their weight in gold. YoYo fishing reels. Probably Illegal to use but they work damn good. set it, then go about doing other things, go back later and check it to see if you got some food.

hello! i have never gone camping, killed and prepared an animal, backpacked, hitchhiked, or traveled outside of the US. but i am painfully tired of this society and i'm ready to take the plunge and reconnect with the earth in the way our ancestors once did. return to our roots with me :) looking...

Is this even a realistic notion? Like, can a person who was well trained really just walk out into nature and survive? ...And not just for like week or two, but actually survive as a lifestyle? What's the minimum one would need?

Hello there People! I'm officially all alone and homeless all by myself now, my boyfriend got picked up cops last night, we usually sleep outside together because he's the one that makes sure that im physically safe, now that is gone, im feeling anxious, scared and alone on how to survive the...

So I almost had to camp out on the way home but I got lucky with the rides, but my plan was to wander into some dense woods a ways and have a fire for the night. What advice do you have for keeping a fire undetected at night?

Hello there People! thanks so much if you decide to read this, as i need to know something to survive and stay warm in the bush with my fiance during the rest of october in northern ontario, canada. For the past 3 months, me and my bf have been sleeping in a tent in the bush ( cuz we are...

Has anyone tried squat/camping on Saddlebunch Keys? YOu can ride the bike trail form Key West to there. Old State Rd 4A/ 939A goes on for 5miles from Sugarloaf Key along the ocean side. Seems pretty empty ....just perfect to hang and camp If things go my way I want to take my bike down there to...

I was wondering if anybody had thought of going to live in the woods for a year or two. See if you can survive the old way just off of what you can and have learned extreme cold climates somewhere were nobody can find you if you don't want them to.

I've used some of these with success.

I am taking a few months off in a week to live out of my backpack and be with nature. I was thinking about the Sierras however Yosemite is on fire.... Where is the best spot you have ever camped?

Not sure if this is the right area to post this but it kind of pertains to wilderness survival and how important it is to know it. This is some freaky shit right here. I've never been in that forest but after reading this it makes me want to check it out. To have soooooooo many people disappear...

I've heard all about how if you decide to go to the wild you should partner up with people to ensure survival which I totally agree with. If I were to do it alone, is there a place I can live nearby a town just in case I need outside help and would that be a good idea? I was wondering about...

Anyone ever have experience with this plants famous oil urushiol. 15% of people are unaffected by it, some barely notice it.... Others well its hell for them. In canada i know its eastward starting from Ontario all the way to Nova scotia i believe. Im sure the US is similar, this plants has so...

Bloodroot is a plant collected and sold for its roots. This plant is poisonous if eaten. The root is harvested in early fall and dried. If the root is broken it will stain the hands red. This is where it gets its name, bloodroot. I have not harvested any my self but plan to this fall. Bloodroot...

Recently came across an article about marijuana, in some cases large amounts, being grown in farmers cornfields. Gutsy. Got me to thinking about possibilities....where else could marijuana be grown? Could it be grown in a house with no one (parents) knowing?
