If I would thought of it I wouldn't have so many kids.

If living primitive 24/7/365 is your dream, go for it, and be sure to send us photos!!
Doc
Am I the only one who sees the irony in this statement?!?
I understand the appeal of true wilderness living, but for more than a week or two... screw it, I'm too lazy and spoiled. My dream is a little place with solar panels and maybe a windmill, just far enough out of town to be private, have a big ol' garden and a nice heated shop and land to hunt/goof around on... maybe some bunnies and chickens, definitely a strawberry patch for homemade wine... but close enough to town so we have phone/internet access and my woman can go shopping and our kids can go to school or the doctor. Is that so wrong?
I'm with Doc and Stitch on this one, been there, done that...NOTHING beats a warm shower and a dry place out of the cold and rain, NOTHING! I backpacked Across America TWICE, and while it was an adventure back in the day, I have no desire to repeat the trips. Last trip was full of hassles and some tense moments that would make for a good book if I wanted to bother writing it down..again. I had my pack stolen WITH my journal in it after my last day 'on the road'. A whole year of my life written down lost to some petty thief/crackhead who probably tossed it in a dumpster. It's a wonderful life if you're a trustfund baby!
