This is what I am going to do if I ever got off the rez and go nuts. Just walk up into the uplands north of Phoenix and live in a rock hut, hunting deer and eating juniper berries and poo poo.

I watched two of these videos by that guy who doesn't talk all the way through the video and it was fascinating.

If you dropped 30 humans from Western nations onto an island and came back 12 months later everyone would be dead, with the only attempts at shelter being some leaves propped up against chappy sticks.

Between reading Hatchet and Call of the Wild and poo poo as a kid, and these videos, Im pretty sure if I ever get brain damage I'll be found living in a national forest wearing deerskin shoes and pants, chasing deer and making wild grape wine

The only reason this guy can do this is because he's way out in the boonies in Bumfuck, Northern Australia. It's always warm and the only thing he has to worry about is snakes. Practially anywhere else is too dense or is full of animals/people that want to kill you. You might be able to pull this off somewhere up north in canada/russia but it would be cold for over 2/3 of the year.

Regardless this is cool as all hell and I can't wait to see what he can do by the end of the year.

Not making any promises but for the new year in no particular order 1. iron 2. glass. 3. Stone dome. 4. tiled shed with it’s own kiln (barrel tiles this time) 5. bow. 6. Atlatl. 7. Cloth .8. Garden. 9-12 I don’t know yet. Some of these are technically very difficult and I have no experience with them yet. But it’s good to have goals.

He lives a normal modern life and does these things in his spare time.

It's also entirely possible to do these things elsewhere.

I mean if you wanted to exist entirely like this it'd have to be in an isolated location, and the only isolated locations that still exist unwrecked by man are cold places and deserts. It's perfectly feasible in cold places it just takes some prep to understand how not to die to the cold. And you'd probably want a rifle because of bears/wolves/a few other predators.

I watched part of that charcoal one and he does that thing that old men who only dress up for TV do where they buy a shirt and then put it on and you can see where it was creased in the store forming a rectangle down from the neck.

The best way to kill yourself is to use a double barreled shotgun that you cut down to facilitate aiming and to shoot yourself in one ear and out the other.

You can build a shotgun out of rabbit skins and dirt and lawyer cane that you spit in half with your fingers.

that's not true. spare remote desert hellscapes (like most of australia) or frozen hellscapes would actually be the worst places to do it, unless you bring along a gun and some more modern tools. areas that are dense are good since they have biodiversity from insects to berries to other edible greens and sources of fresh water (either rainfall or high water table). predatory animals are really not a big concern unless you're living in a bear den or something stupid.
