Hey all. Made it about a year living in the brush without outside influence. Last week my camp was found by mushroom pickers that reported me to the local law. They came out and made me tear down my home and shitter. Had to pull roots and head back down the road. Looking for a new place. I'm in...

Sitting in Lake City, FL. Trying to sleep but apparently I'm a goddamned buffet for the mosquitos and other critters. Killed a fucking snake with the knife, shot fire at a noise in the bush (lighter and aerosol stuff), and threw my empty wine bottle at the cat that was pissing me off. Also...

Here are some guideline for eating wild plant life. In most situations, if you don't know what a plant is, don't eat it. You can live 3 weeks or more without food. You can live a lot less long with poison in your system. Only eat wild plants if you have devoted a good deal of time to studying...

Step 1 Use the shadow stick method During the day, try the shadow stick method. Find a stick about three feet tall and put it in a flat piece of ground with no greenery nearby. Mark the end of its shadow with a rock. Wait 30 minutes, and mark the tip of the new shadow. The connecting line runs...

Anyone know when they will start popping up? Should be any day now?

That has been a question I've been asking myself a bit, and after looking on the internet about it, I've found a few answers, but they either require lots of work, a hook, or don't seem really efficient. What's been your best method?

Hey guys, The name is Michael. When I was 16 I moved out of my house, and when I turned 18 I became homeless. I started couch surfing, squatting in abandon houses, living in shit houses, living in basements, renting rooms etc. I am currently living in my best friends room with her mom while she...

To attach to another thread I made about wilderness wandering or long term living, I've thought on planting seeds-if you were staying put a bit or had land or whatever- and seeing how they'd work out. Obviously you'd need a clear area and plenty of sunlight. Anyone have suggestions for plants to...

Any of you peeps buy fishing license in whichever state you happen to be in atm? Or you just say fuck em and cast anyway. Ive been wondering. What the 5-0 would say if a homeless dude was walking around with fishing gear but no fishing permit and out of state drivers license/I.D.

Hey folks, Back online after many months! (my old username was cavemansailor). I just returned from my 4th trip to the Gila Wilderness this year. It turned out to be everything I hoped for and more, but I need to find some folks to go back with for the long-haul. For those not familiar with...

It is completed, or set up at least. I'll see how it holds up, it's supposed to rain the next couple of days. I've also established a fire pit for cooking and found an old dishwasher off the tracks and I hollowed it out to become a stove. It is an ideal spot in relation to water sources (ponds...

I'm having a huge issue with dear ticks this season in NY. I've been plucking these little bastards off me. Anyone know a good surefire way to keep them away? Avoiding tall brush is not an option!

I don't have much of a choice on where on to stay, except the shelter house, but for personal reasons, i rather avoid staying there. I have a tent, a few sleeping bags and some warm clothing to wear for fall. I'm thinking of tenting out in the outskirts of my hometown. I'm just worried about...

Ive been wondering if anyone knew alternatives on the west coast to buying bottled water or filling water up at fountains and what not. Maybe like wells in national forests or other sort of off road spickets and refill locations.

Hi Ya'll, I've recently quit my job in Philadelphia to become a musician. My plan is to find some forest to squat in so that I can have a peaceful and quiet place to write music. I'm going to create a structure (depending on the environment and resources available) in the wilderness to live...
