To tell you the truth I'm tired of the so called civilized world. Various classes and buying crap that supposed to enhance my life somehow.

I know, most people couldn't do it, but there is more out there than mobile phones and TV shows and democrats vs. republicans.

9pm in the evening only matters if you gotta get up for work at 6 in the morning, otherwise it's meaningless if you are not paying any bills and just get up when the Sun comes up to the sky.

I'm sorta tired of civilization lately. Internet, cars and mobile phones didn't really make me any happier so far. The only thing I would take with me are guns and ammo for hunting, some clothes, petrol lamp and a good knife and I would be all set. I don't even want to know what time it is. For me, it would be just enough of info whether its the night or day and for that, I just have to look up the sky. I think my plan C - if I ever get to that point - means, that I won't have to worry about what the IRS does or who the hell is the persident currently or how much the price of the gasoline is right now.

Just let me find myself a place away from all this stuff, have some wildlife to hunt for food, a little land to grow carrots and lettuce and I'm all set. Everyone else just go do whatever you do and like to do and just forget about what I do with my life or if I exist or not.

Honest.....I couldn't do it.

Good luck, Mr Thoreau! Maybe you'll write a famous novel about your escape from civilization one day!

I've been camping.....truth be told.....I like bathrooms......a lot.

i would move to island before the woods, but i like to fish rather than hunt.

Trust me on this..you could. Almost everyone. Some would cry and go into state of shock for several days, but it would pass. When your life depends on it you would. 10 years later, you wouldn't even recognize who you were.

Atlantis, I think you mean you are tired of commercialism and the society we live in today. I don't think you would like living in an uncivilized society. Unless you mean uninhabited, which could be nice. For a while.

Well I suppose I could do anything...if I had to...but I don't want to. I don't want to pee on my feet, I don't want a face on my meat, I don't want to gather wood, I don't want to have hairy legs and pits, I don't want to smell like a donkey, I don't want to clean up in cold water, I just don't wannna.....I sorta like the little things...like bathrooms......nothing beats a good hot shower.....(and not peeing on my feet)

I need pizza once a week. So, I am out!

I like this picture.....so deep..makes me think.....what is he looking at....are you looking in your pants?????

Pizza and don't forget.........BATHROOMS!!!!!!!

I refuse to own a cell phone. I just don't want one. If I'm out that means I don't want to talk to you. I have a license, but I don't own a car. Cars are a bad investment. Public transportation is fine. I don't watch TV nothing is ever on and I certainly don't watch the news, or as I call it "Grim Carnage."

I live how I want to live. I don't follow any trends or any hokey spiritual journey. I'm free, at least I feel that way. If I want to quit my job I'll quit my job. If I want to leave, I'll leave. One thing though. I find it nice to be able to go into a store and buy food. Rather than crawling around the bush.

Good luck though brother if you do decide to heed the call of the wild. Just thing I learned. It's much easier to set a trap and catch prey. than it is to stalk and hope you find something.

Sometimes you have to stop, take a few steps back and analyze what you are doing. What exactly are you working toward, what is your goal? If your goal is happines, what makes you happy? Big house and 2 cars and the Sunday golf? Sure having a relationship is nice, but that's not everything. That's a part of it, not a life goal. There must be more you supposed to be going for. I don't want to live my life away, being worried how much things are gonna cost and when I'm gonna loose my job and join the soup line and live in a tent under the bridge.

I'm sick of that..and since it doesn't seem to change, I don't see the end of the tunnel at all. So if the society won't change and neither what's going on..then I have to choose to be passive and just leave it.
And no, it's not like I would go to a 3rd world country and try to get a job there so I could make 1 dollar a day. That's just jumping boats really. I was talking about "away from everything". Away from all the things that makes a place called a town and having a job etc..

I've considered a really cool cave I hike to....getting supplies up there would be a challenge, I'd do if I didn't have all these obligations and responsibilities. At least for the summer...

Okay, I get that. I have found, for me, that a shift in my thinking and how I personally live my life, make this a good place to be. However, that doesn't mean that that is right for you. Some people do just up and leave and they are much happier living a more isolated life.

I would love to be less dependent on my paycheck, grocery stores, banks, the government, etc. Ideally I would be self sufficient as that is the only way to truly be free. But, that's not possible for me so I have found happiness where I am.

Whatever you decide, I wish you much luck, love and happiness. You deserve it.

If I didn't think that I'd kill them all just from showing up with the diseases of the western world, living with a tribe in the Amazon wouldn't be bad. Of course the bulldozers will be there soon enough.


Oh, Diana, bathrooms aren't as important to men. We just need a tree.

Atlantis, I agree, I've been giving a lot of thought to doing the same thing. Even got a spot that we go up to and camp. If need be, it will make a nice place to live.

What'd he throw??

I want to become a mountain woman

me too

Well....maybe ya'll can pee standing up....but the other.....I'm just saying....the toliet....ya'll will miss it.......and toliet paper.........it's a beautiful thing.
