So jt appears OMB has escaped the rat race based on the pics posted. Has anyone else been so lucky?

 

I have to ask as I feel I have escaped the rat race yet am trying to re-enter the corporatocracy in order to fund the final stage of my escape plan, and am on my way to meet My old boss to see how I help facilitate such an event.

My second instinct after fighting him off would find large stones and throw them down at tye bear for insurance purposes.  Knowing I was just attacked by a wild animal, anything is game at that point.  Survival is the fittest.

Enough to make me happy.  As I came up on this field in the early morning to my left were 3 coyote stalking a herd of goats while to my right a group of bucks walked with some does.  The coyote stood ground enough for me to get kind of close.  On my way back I spotted one beneath an apple tree.  It grabbed an apple off the ground and disappeared into the woods.

 these guys look in great condition dont they?

 

 hunting's been good for them.

 

Startled a fox the other day on dog walk he was the best looking specimen I've seen. Usually they look pretty scruffy.

More power to him if He is successful.

 

Given how inquisitive I was as youth about researching things, and that everything He would need to learn how to live off grid is on Youtube, I believe that someone that age would be capable of a acquiring the know-how to make it happen.

bears and venomous snakes in the wild are on my list of shit that make me nervous when off the grid

Well I see Myself as being a Dragon to cover off the snake part and I encounter enough bears in public so you shouldn't be weary of them.

 

Plus in Australia here, if the simulation makes Me get bitten by a dugite, it is just scripted Information technology code at the end of the day so no big deal. I had an idea for a joke about digging IT but I couldn't phrase it correctly.

Will this filter out beaver fever?

giardia, point . idk..

 

I would think in most satiations for the common hiker boiling the filtered water may help further cleanse the water. 

Not so much for operations under stealth as the fire will lead to compromised location.

 was thinking about water the other day and how to get it in the bush.

 

remember watching how to make a solar still as a kid and thinking that's cool but when am i going to be lost with 3 sqm of plastic, a tin etc.

 

in my case I'm most likely to be lost closer to sea water so going to find some videos on desalination.

A young Ben Affleck can teach you some skill. Did you watch Voyage of the Mimi?
