    Ouch!
    Much like the cretins who took it upon themselves to hack in to my website and left an opening page full of political and filthy language!
    Had to have everything rebuilt from the ground up, do you think a couple of weeks in the bush might intstill some character in them?

    A bad day on the hills is better than a good day in work any time.

    If it hits the fan Tony, spelling will be the least of your worries.

    Thing is if the s#%* does hit, all communication will be of no use, so maybe we need to learn about smoke signals, or the use of signal beacons etc.
    But maybe at some future meets a plan could be a topic of discussion around the camp fire.

    I agree with what you are saying Martin after all when our ancestors where hunter gatherers and lived off the land, pretty much all of England was a forest. Complete with bears and other wild animals that you just dont see anymore. To survive now for any length of time you would probably be fighting a very tough uphill battle. Bleak yes but true. As for smoke signals that would be an intensly bad idea because there would be plenty of people who have no idea how to live off the land so stealing from someone else would be a viable option. Smoke signals would just advertise where you are. Happy Happy Happy!

    imo, living off the land would be a hard life in our world today, the people of the past had more wild animals to pray on, large areas of untamed land full of wild food that most people now call weeds. our ancestors would have had a mental map of were to forage and hunt and also the skills to do so past down to then by there ancestors. We have lost contact with the skills needed to live this way though some of us are trying to learn them again. simple things like only taking what is needed instead of taking all you can find so that next time there will still be something to take. were to find fresh water with all the crap that get into our water ways today. its a hard one this yes you could live from the bounty of the land but i feel as our ancestors did you would have to be nomadic and follow the bounty through the seasons. i feel to just stay in one place and live off wots around you would be very hard.
