Umm..does anyone live in a tree?

your totally overlooking wild edibles, which are actually a lot more nutritious and healthy than the crap at typical grocery stores....for example i have a patch of wild strawberries in my backyard i cant believe took me so long to notice that im totally gonna turn into a strawberry patch with the domesticated ones i have...the wild ones arent near the size of domesticated, but they dont have the chemicals or negative effects on the environment either. i also have a TON of chickweeds in my yard which taste remarkably similar to lettuce and are verrry rich in vitamins and minerals, also have dandelions which are very nutritious as well, and this is just in my backyard, cant imagine what yall got goin on your piece of land... dunno how literate you guys are (lol sorry i had to) but i bet itd be fun to take a trip to the library, getta book on it and go ID all the shit you got growin....

its totally possible to survive in the wilderness without any dependency on anything, again if your interested i would suggest looking into tom browns survival school and teachings, or maybe see if your library has anything on him.

 

n that is all yer gonna eat,,, come on young buck you cant be fukkin serious brother,,,,.. ummmm can you say unhealthy after a certain amount of time,,,,,, one has to have more than edible shit growin in the wild to be healthy for long periods of time,, sure you can subsist but how ya gonna have all the energy you are goin to need to survive n thrive or is it that you would prefer to exist,,,,?

atop n think about or reread what you just said,,,, wanna say totally fukkin ridiculous,???? ummmm maybe for a week or three or possibly a summer campin n hikin n shit that is all cool but as i said before,,,,

may i suggest yet again,,,, go to a place n see for yerself what it would truly be like,,, dont just read someones elses shit n take their word for it......

 

what do you know about health??? lololol really, what is your diet comprised of and how often do you eat? im hella more knowledgeable about health than most adults....

and im not saying thats the path im going to chose, im saying its a very possible thing to do and a lot of people have done it before and some people have a very big passion for it and have wrote a lot on it and even started a survival school. spirit defies body though to an extent, and if you believe you can sustain yourself in the woods, then you probably can. im not saying this is my passion though, but its certainly something im interested in, reducing my impact on the world around me. and i can totally see how someone could become very passionate about it...

 

my sister wants me and our neighbor to live in a tree with her this summer when school gets out. she got the idea from "without a paddle" which is a really good movie, btw. lol.
peace & love.
ps.
i'd do it if i had some sort of food supply or something. and if i didn't live in missouri where skeeters will eat u alive!

oh dood ya talkin to more college credits in the animal as well as human health fields than ya could ever get in 10 years,, on account thats how long shes been gatherin them up..
An me,,,Yeah young buck.. i spent my entire life in the woods till ive become to old to keep it up,, i know how to forage,, trap snare,, hunt,, .. you i encourage,, but with a clarification..

Mine was taught since i was in diapers, an i still dont feel its sensible to do at my age,, tis why ive went the farm way here..

Till youve lived it,, starved,, ate shit ya know ya shouldnt have an dealt with the aftermath,, till ya have looked an loked for yer edible plants,, till ya have ate all yer crop before winter even set in,,till ya have lived it an loved it,, yer book learnin means shit!!

dilligaf has book learnin an livin it lovin it expirience most likely way beyond what ya will ever expirience..

Ya really should quit bein so arrogant over yer book knowledge till ya have done it with yer own hands,,

So fuckin what ya found wild strawberrys in yer parents back yard,,..

So go find a patch in the national forest an start cultivatin it an see how quick ya get fined..

Or better yet when ya "drop out" see how far ya wild shit gets ya come tax time on yer land...

Oh man i could go on an im sure i will,,, but right now i think ill chill before ya think we be flamin...

 

its just knowledge man, thats all it is, all anything is right? lol...you 'starved' because you didnt have the knowledge, about your limits, or fasting, or knowledge of the forest, or the spirit of the forest.......
ehhhh, fuck my strawberries? so your saying i should embrace grocery stores and embrace walking heavier on this earth until i have the chance to what your making look like a hellish journey of living in the wild???lol whatever man, yall are cool and doing good things with your homestead... its just good to stay open to new knowledge you know and not dismiss it from unlikely sources cuz often thats where it comes from, at least thats what i get from my 16 years of living, ha ha...
and idk, i learned more about health reading 50 pages of andrew weils(md) natural health and healing than most DOCTORS probably know, or at least enforce in their practice or own lives.. id be more than willing to stake the argument that i am healthier than both of you based on observing you twos lifestyle(very interesting one too) over time in these forums.

 

"Um perhaps iffin ya smoke a bit less,, dream a bit more an then follow thru ya would get it together.."

I only dream when i smoke.

 

why dont we ask Naykid Ape about wilderness living? Hes obviously pretty well off...if hes not just bluffing that is.

 

brother fratcual,,

I never meant to degrade your knowledge on account of yer youth.

But i stand by my statement..

"Till you have lived it,, an loved it"

You have no idea what ya talkin about..

Ya assume by yer own statements we sayin its sooo hard etc.. "hellish",,

Not at all we love it..

wouldnt trade it for the world..

however,, i spent most of 5 years in the forest,, after bein raised in hillbilly heaven.
ive spent the next 20 toning my skills,, an slowly realizin its not rational to assume one can live a life of a forager an survival soley on survival skills ..

Case in point,,..

A local legend here,, the master of living in the woods..

Where was eric robert rudolph caught??

Dumpster diving..

I rest my case..

 

book knowledge is great fractual,,, that i am not disputing,, nor am i disputing that survivalist theories aint great,,, or that foraging isnt something that can 't be done,,, but facts are facts n really going out n doing things for oneself is soooooo much different than reading it in a book,,,, ... just a question for ya,,,, have ya ever gutted an animal after killing it,? have ya ever killed an animal and found it infested with nasty shit,,, because it aint the season to be killin them n eattin them but ya was ravaged n starvin so ya ate it anyway? ... have ya ever gone foraging in three feet of snow? have you ever camped out in the middle of winter ? Can ya start a fire with no matches???

now iffin ya have then tis one thing but at at sixteen i KNOW for certain,,, most of it ya aint done...,,, iffin ya aint and ya have just read it,,, then ya dont KNOW ,, you have an idea,,, ya have read it and ya can envision it,,,, but ya do NOT know it until you do it,,,.. and it isnt all peaches n cream,,, it is alot of work,,,, that is all i am saying,,,, it is more work than a young boy of 16 can imagine although it looks in your young eyes alot of the time like it is really neat, fun n interesting n any ol idiot could do it,,, fact of the matter is,,, the lifestyle you are speaking of ,,, very very few people can do it for any length of time,,,, without headin back in to society in some way shape or form......


n to prove my point ,, you think you know bout me n my life n life style when in fact all you have done is read it,,, ..

 

including your book sensei tom browne..
mister former navy seal whos sold out o live the good life in new jersey makin millions off folks like you who only se the"spiritual" in his writing,, while all the while hes gone back to teaching the united states military "survival " skills ..

Then goin home after a hard days work...


An once again,, makin millions..

Yeah woe,, ya should see the arrogant shit he wrote about rudolph,, after he was caught,, whatta fuckin punk..


when yer hero tom browne lives with the entire federal goverment on his ass in the woods as a fugitive for 4 years,,, he can talk shit ..

But he wont,, hes all about cash,, an snowin people...

urban survivalist??

ahahhahahha an his schools in new jersey..

punk ass..

im sorry but when ya read books by military trained sell outs who then critique the military trained that evaded for 4 years every ounce of energy the feds had,,while gettin rich,, an say they could do it better cause there folkks was native americans..

then go home to there mansions..

tis fucked up young buck..

ya think ya know,, but ya dont know...

nor does mister former navy seal /native american sell out..

an thats just the way it is..

 

Yeah, I've definetly thought about that. I live in Detroit tho, so no redwoods around to hang out in. Sometimes I wish I were the "urban Robin Hood."

Are you serious dude? You are 16 years old and you definitely sound like a 16 that thinks he knows it all. If you REALLY think you know more about health than a DOCTOR from reading a few pages in a book, you are going to be in for a real big surprise when you get out into the real world. I'm not going to try and change your mind because you obviously think you know your shit, but your "Grizzly Adams" approach to living off of the land will tear you apart pretty quickly. "Dropping" out of society is not as easy as one thinks, there is actualy MORE work involved in dropping out than just conforming to the Babylon ideals ( I am by NO MEANS suggesting that you conform). You don't take advice from those that actually LIVE like you want to live and that shows you will fail. Sorry to say that, but if you think that book knowledge superceeds ACTUAL experience living in the ourdoors, it will BREAK you real quick. I don't necessarily agree with everything Hippiehillbilly says, but he HAS been there and you HAVE NOT.

My advice to you would be to get an education and a marketable job skill. Take the advice from those that have done what you are going to try and do. Dropping out of society is ridiculous at best, a lazy persons way out. I would LOVE to be able to take off into the wilderness in Old Mexico and live off of the land, but reality dictates other wise.......

 

anything is possible i never said it wasnt,, i just said the facts,, it takes far more willpower and determination to drop out even in the farm life than it does to live in babylon..

An as far as goin to a rainforests in africa or central and south america, or siberia or alaska(the only true possibilitys of bein able to survive a lifetime without encrochement by authorities and babylon in the wilderness in my opinion) ..

You damn well better be much more than book smart,, ya better have tried and perfected every ouce of knowledge ya gained from yer books,, cause once ya get there,,what ya tried an perfected in this world ,for what ever reason,very well may NOT work in the world ya invision living in..

 

I would love to live in a village of tree houses, that would be awesome.

 

Basically everything you said made perfect sence, but I don't think that it's fair to suggest that it's a lazy person's way out. The way things are run today, it's so hard to get by. When you look at all the corruption and shit that's going on behind our backs (canada is in a BIG mess with that right now), it really makes you wonder why the hell you don't just "drop out" so these idiots can't sit there and take your money to blow on themselves. They don't deserve my money, so why should they get it?
That's my whole take on it, anyway. I don't think that it's lazy, but rather sick of the mess that we let run our lives. I'm not saying that we shouldn't do anything about it, but at the same time, there's always going to be a government and they're always going to be corrupt and we're always going to get royally screwed in the ass.

 

I am speaking more in terms of those looking to avoid responsibility. They don't want to work or pay bills so they "drop out" of society. There is a difference between being disenchanted with the current state of the world and being lazy.

 

I want to find me a big tall tree in the trinity alps and live there for a short period then move to another tree, would you like to join me? lol

 

I'll just say this. I'm 17 and live on a farm in East Texas. I've gutted an animal, eat'n crap that i shouldn't of ate and ventured in the deep East Texas pine woods all day as a preteen. And I can tell you one thing. After doing this my whole life i know for a fact i still coudln't do what HH and his freinds do. I want to and I plan on staying for a bit out there just to see what its really like. But by NO means what so ever could you just live off what you find in the woods. I always visit Chattanooga TN for all summer with my aunt and i've been to Yellowstone and Hiked...And My Texas arse got handed to me because of the alitueded.

Fratcual I know you are excited about what you want to do but please realize it ain't that esay...I've had it really really esay for living on a farm....And its still hard stuff man..hot sweaty and hard.. I've read it, I've lived the very very very very top of it *no where near what HH is doing* and i can tell ya it ain't esay

Peace man

 

i think being an eco warrior would be fun, me and my friend are gonna go see some near where she lives, i think it would be soooo much fuin to live in a tree, you would really feel at one with nature
