i know of several primitive and reclusive wilderness groups... now closed to outsiders. they "make it" without any form of electricity, they leave seeds planted on nomadic routes, trade primitive made wares at meet ups and swaps, and even make babies and birth them in the wild... some of the groups used to document their travels online and then decided to go completely off the grid... disappeared... gone.... so i think theres a specific mindset that must be applied. the need for anthing material, money, an electric razor, plastic diapers, etc must be overcome in order to live like that. and also, the need for modern weapons and bullets that cannot be replaced in the wild. one thing is for certain, and this u can bank on, if u maintain any, ANY attachment to society and money and cities, etc, then sooner or later, society, money, and cities will follow u into the woods, and the end of secrecy will come, the death of the existense carved out of the primitive landscape, sustained by nature and devotion wil inevitably come.... but thats my 2 cents.... one cannot avoid society yet still rely on it. one cannot shun all the modern world makes easy, yet depend on the modern worlds advantages... that which you cannot let go of becomes the master.....
