Reply to comment by ziq in How did you learn your survival skills? by kin

Nice idea to check the region flora and specifics for my region. Like mushrooms and fauna too, if poisonous snakes and alike dwell in the same region etc..

I have a kind of target horizon to change from my urban landscape to a rural one somewhere in next 10 ~ 15 years, but since I spent my youth doing silly monkey stuff I forget my survival skills in the jungle. One of my ideological dilemmas is how I should feel about hunting being myself a vegan. Sure you can survive in the wild with no animal killing, and being a homesteader would eliminate any food shortages.

The improvisational mindset is the way to go, and give us more feelin' of accomplishment I think, do something by yourself, etc

Thanks! The olive recipes are awesome

Good point, colonizer mindset is really a major issue, and this kind of militia or libertarian approach, "consumerism with a apocalyptic aesthetic" bothers me, like the first thing available in the web 1.0 were things like poor man james bond and shit like that.

The hunting issue came after reading some people say that is inevitable when you are surviving, but like ziq said maybe is inevitable in artic and subartic regions. Yeah I lost the survival common sense, darn you Civilization ™!

Actually when I said survivalism is more like dropout living off the earth lol lifestyle, exactly what @magpiekilljoy do I think, I have a dozen of her podcast episodes to watch, maybe that you posted here in raddle
