Thought y'all might like this: "Happy People, A Year in the Taiga"

Yes a happy way to live. For sure a place a good knife is handy. Thanks for sharing.
 
I am about halfway thru it on Netflix now and enjoying it. I am a gun guy and found it interesting that one of the trappers was using an old SKS rifle for everyday use. Those things are built like a T-34 tank! The people on the video do have a cool set of survival skills and it is great to see how they live work and eat. Watching them crush pine ones just to get at the pine nuts helped to show just how thorough they are in knowing how are where to find food sources.

I think I saw a Mosin on it as well.
 
That was interesting sort of like going back in time to see what life was like on the frontier in the westward frontier expanding USA. One thing I wonder after you saw it, would any of you trade your life situation for theirs if the trade was going to be permanent, not a vacation or adventure tourist thing? Don't answer to fast and please leave the geo-political context out of it. Would you give up modern, developed living (wherever you live on the planet right now) with all the resources you have to live where the only resources are what you see is what you get?

Not exactly, but I've really been thinking about living a much much simpler life.
