Not much stopping you from hunting and gathering, though. There’s some reason you haven’t, and a lot of the unhappiness that would just be part of life for someone raised that way would still be unhappiness. They’d just accept it as unchanging.

That and, what was that one woman that tried to go off the grid earlier this year with her son, and the whole family died in a couple months when the winter hit? Shit’s not easy, and if you fuck up, you’ve done fucked up in a way that’s quite possibly permanent. Even the thing that got Chris McCandless was theorized to have been just eating the wrong seeds. He starved because he inadvertently paralyzed himself and couldn’t hunt.

I don’t enjoy tons of things about today’s society, but I haven’t forgotten how fun it is to scrounge and come up empty. I was about to say I’d definitely take the implied social belonging of a small tribe, but even that’s not guaranteed. I’m gonna stick close to whatever shit semblance of a safety net I have.
