Didn't this young man take part in one of the Survivor series, on a 3rd hidden island? Where he had to show all the other 2 islands 'rejects' how to live off the land? Very interesting.
lol listen to the reporter, she refers to the concrete jungle as "the real world", wake up you dumb bitch. He is living in the real world, we are living in the artificial one.
i must say i do like the idea of living like that. down here in new zealand we have a lot of native bush to do that in but the old possums arnt that tasty.
@JCole131 probably 3 times in the morning 5 times after lunch and like 32 times after 6:00 :] course he only thinks about his fiance since he lives in the wood and only has 1 neighbor.
@naneek1 Heck yea a 12 guage has more reach and can knock them tree rats out of the top of the highest tree. A 22 rifle is ok but the shotgun don't miss when the tree rat is on the run. LMAO

uhhh doesnt he have a property tax to pay? here on planet earth we are all slaves and living free theres always a catch. always a scumbag piece of trash who comes along and wants in your wallet
@bubber25 Don't forget the income tax, the energy tax, the hunting tax, the gardening tax, the zoning tax, the property assessment tax, misc. village tax, and of course the transaction tax on what he's trading with that dairy farmer. Village might ticket him if his hut doesn't pass inspection, too -- that's 500, easy.
It's just too expensive to do what he is doing -- living in the woods, sleeping in a small hut, and eating berries and squirrels with almost zero consumption.
@123gwf He's been setup by affluent family. You're dead right, to do this legally is damn expensive. Just about every statue on the books is designed to separate us from nature.
self sufficient by killing poor animals ? Grow your own food and leave poor animals alone.You are in their territory and should respect them.Don't be their enemy but friend.
@addisbarek Lol, you're one of those people who don't care if innocent people are killed every day and tortured to death. You just care about the poor animals. Hundreds of millions of people eat meat every day. What are you going to do about that? You can't do nothing about it! A YouTube comment won't help either. If you want to be a vegetarian, go ahead, but you're not making a difference and you never will. Thanks for reading this and God bless!
@addisbarek aaaaaw how touching, this world is not fucking snow white and the seven dwarfs when all the animals come sing to you at night. This is earth, a place were to survive you have to do what is neccesary. Kill, steal, cheat..... you my friend are a pathetic excuse for a human. If you ever had to survive in the wild or even live for a few weeks you would understand the importance of meat. Its ok being a veggie sat in your warm house somewhere. meh
@tbrowniscool maybe, Native Americans living east of the mississippi didn't really eat that much meat, not when they could forage MUCH from the untouched land, and grew the rest, Monks don't eat meat, they grow much of their own food, Incas, aside from a few higher in their society didn't eat any meat, they grew all their own food and foraged the rest. We'll make our own reality and food forests are the past and will be the future.
@addisbarek Agriculture is the source of our slavery and the reason for habitat destruction across the world. Sure he could cut down the forest to grow some soy beans, would you complain about the "poor animals" then?
Get off your vegan high-horse and accept a little reality.
@mryellow123 Agriculture is not the source of our slavery. I don't know what the guy you were addressing said to make you say that. Regardless, I think your views on agriculture are very limited. It is true that conventional agro-business methods are extremely destructive, but there are natural, organic, biodynamic methods that can actually green the deserts and create a paradise on Earth.
@LegendofTheRiverKing This is all true (except green deserts being paradise), however you have to realise what we had before. Agriculture is very time intensive, ask any farmer. You need to be tied to one spot and spend every waking moment tending it. Compare this to a hunter gatherer life-style which in most cases was 3-4h of work per-day.
Everything (all that pointless waste and growth) in our lives todays stems from our shift towards agriculture.
@mryellow123 If the desert is greened its not really a desert anymore. You can change an inhospitable region into a veritable paradise. Depending on the farmer's skill and knowledge, agriculture can be time intensive, or it can be extremely leisurely. Permaculture methods require the same minimal 3-4 hours work. In fact, permaculture food forests would let you hunt/forage on your own fertile land.
Pointless waste and growth isn't because of agriculture, it stems from the creation of money.
@LegendofTheRiverKing That's misguided. Desert is desert. It's fine the way it is, trying to force agriculture onto it is only yet another destructive act. If not for that area then for another.
"Home-gardens" in the forest that you mention is one of the few methods which work, but the best is when you only use local species and just replant what you eat. Such as aboriginal Australians did with tubers etc.
Pointless waste and growth has been around a LOT longer then money.
@mryellow123 Desert isn't desert anymore if its replenished. Deserts weren't always deserts, and there will come a time when the most arid land we see today will look like the Garden of Eden. I think you're imagining a very different type of "agriculture". Research Sepp Holzer's Permaculture. Its the opposite of destructive. It promotes the planet's natural regenerative abilities to spread nourishment. Permaculture doesn't just allow for a "home-garden" in a forest, it CREATES a forest!
@LegendofTheRiverKing Desert is as much a habitat as rain-forest. There is no difference between destroying desert for agriculture and destroying rain-forest for it.
I get what you're saying, I understand how "spread nourishment" can work (to a point, water is limited), but you're focused on human growth, our domination of the earth and molding it to our needs at the cost of habitat.
The very first time a human cut down a forest to plant a monoculture crop there was no money involved.
@LegendofTheRiverKing To be clear.... You're looking at desert as "empty" and something we need to "improve".... This is the same attitude that has seen the destruction of many natural systems throughout the world.
In Vic Australia there were fields of tubers 1000km in every direction, a few hours work would feed a family for a few days. Settlers saw empty unimproved land and destroyed it so they could "make this wasteland productive". No tubers, gone
There is a disconnect between the life we had pre-agriculture and our belief that we need to struggle against the environment for food. Knowledge of the bounty that already exists has been lost as we settled into farming
@mryellow123 Many deserts are man-made in the first place, so bringing life back to the soil isn't some drastic invasion, but instead a fantastic restoration. Permaculture just fosters nature's ability to spread it's own sustainable system. It doesn't destroy a habitat. It allows people to live more harmoniously within a natural eco-system. I think we both agree monoculture is destructive and outdated. We need permaculture.
@mryellow123 Also, I'd argue that the first time a person cut down a forest for monoculture, he had more than sustenance on his mind. He was going to convert those potatoes into some form of "money". Just to be clear I consider the daimyos of Japan and their control over rice a form of "money" creation. The rice suddenly becomes something other than just food. I suggest we move this talk over to private message so we don't clog up this comment section is that cool?
@LegendofTheRiverKing No need... Like you say, we agree on forms of agriculture. Where we diverge is I'm more romantic about the easy life before we settled down and trapped ourselves away from nature.
@mryellow123 Sorry for turning this into a 2 part message, but also, when I say money, I don't just mean fiat currency. Can you give me some examples of destructive waste and growth before the creation of money?
Since the Occupy movement has begun, it has given people a feeling of living of grid and they like it, I for one will be living of grid from the beginning of this summer, anyone want to join me , I HAVE A PLAN..
@chaostic84 Actually, if I understand the problem correctly, they CAN'T get jobs - at least the ones that actually can pay the bills. It is ridiculous that some people, no matter how hard they work, will not be able to support themselves - while others (who may or may not work as hard) are far better off than just 'comfortable'.
@FeralTyneMan I'm sure this goes with a lot of things... but I always say a pyrotech always needs a good sidekick. Sounds like you need to find one, or do some homework on how to reclaim pallets! I live basically in a shed I made of 2x4's, everything free from building sites. Some haul thier scrap to the dump, others sell it to mulching companies. start witha pallet shack =D
@PyR0Star Thanks for that info. Although I think I would be the sidekick in need of a teacher. I was looking at skipping, dump diving too. It's some interesting stuff.
Hope that young Lad aint wasting those squirel skins? Skin them up and salt them with non-iodine salt "pickleing salt". Stretch them on a wood frame and scrape the fat away. You could burn the fats in candles. Trust me, I did it for years before my back was shot. The skins make the best hats or gloves. Their fur is hollow and holds heat. Deer are the best for this. Anybody having Q's could pm me.
@kenmorto pickling salt? don't need salt, if you save your urin/pee for a few days in a warm place it will clean the hides and has plenty of salt and natural ammonia to clean the fats etc.. off the hides and use the brains of the animal to cure / soften the hides, ; i forget at the moment all the natural ways to do it, but there are ways if you want to live totally off the grid, check what the indian's used to do for such hundred's plus years back.
If the Farmer would allow working people to do this on their land in America, where would all of the Welfare lazies go for a check??? When you live off of the land in America, they get you for tax evasion and lock you up!
Excellent and way to go to that young guy. Just I have to add to make that amount of cheese he was trading with a local farmer he needs exactly that bottle 1.5 L of milk he got as a trading token back.... So I was just thinking, without pushing splinters in this story, where is the math?
Any website for communal living where i could join. Am tired of the rat race in the united states. I want a less stressful and simple living. :) id b grateful if anybody here could help. . .
I was raised on a small farm with no plumbing and it was great. I can assure you that in any state in America you can find a place to live simple the problem is most people say they want to but when it comes down to it they would go nuts...
in america, theres groups of people that live solely off the land, in a small community outside of society. if you feel like you want to do this, or you hate living in the world you live in, find them and join them. its a much more simpliar life, dont have to worry about making money, or what society expects you to do, only think you need to worry about is food, water, shelter.

if his fiance doesnt like the same things as he they wont last long married i guarantee it. great fun living in a tree house wish i could. wife and i finish school here in USA in about 1 year. then i think we will be living on her parents property. i know my wife would love the tree house living and we have already solar power so we are half way there in a sense. awesome place he has...
Yes, he doesn't spend alot of money or obtain lots of possesions however those who sell ammunition sometimes do terrible things to the people and the planet and parafin is bad for the environment too so buying these he is contributing to things that he is personally trying to avoid. Still good on him for having a go, I wish more people would try living off the land and stop seeing it as poverty when in fact your life can be so much richer in personal ways rather than owning many material things!
I admire the idea of living off the land and am always eager to hear about people living this way in the hope i will learn something from it. I hope to one day get back to that way of life as I grew up partly self sufficient and miss it. However, this case does strike me as just a little bit "city boy does living off the land". I don't mean it offensively, it's just I can't see paraffin and ammunition as essentials or living solely off the land.........see next comment........
sounds good.. but withouth it whe hadnt meds and stuff. dont say we dont need it. In history men has living like this only from the land, just read about how savage/hard/unnutricous those times were.
@mmolez A disgrace... A disgrace,, A DISGRACE!!!??? What the fuck is wrong with you, this is how people should live instead of relying on other people to package your food and supply your utility's. You my friend are full of BULLSHIT, And don't deserve to be on this earth.

Returning to the real world? Laff. Industrial civilization is an unsustainable fantasy. Seriously, we're consuming nature faster than it's able to renew itself and one day it won't have anything left to give. Soon what this guy is doing will be the real world once again.
Ha ha LOL!! Swapping some milk for his 'home made cheese' but remember Nick says that he doesn't wash that often....No fucking way would I want his 'home made cheese'!!
hehe sounds good. he needs a few friends to help him make a commune. I liked the way he wasnt a total hippy too, which is the only thing putting me off doing this....i dont want to be one of them
I think he needs to find a new fiance! There are plenty of women (myself included) who would love to live like that. I think pretty soon we all may not have a choice but to live like that!!
@JayKay62969 I was just thinking that! I'm like "wow, find a different girl, mate!" :p and you're right on there. Pretty soon there will be no choice.
@JayKay62969 dang, where are all u wonderful women located?? i'm thinking of just doing it alone, cuz most women i've come across down here (socal) just eat/feed/secrete money...lol hopefully i'll find one further up north, but i know once i create a food forest, people will want to join for festivities...."if u build it, they will come" tx for the glimmer of hope though =)
@JayKay62969 Amen. I was thinking the same thing. Wonder what else they don't have in common. :( But if he loves her...I suppose they can compamise. I would love a man like that. To build a treehouse with me. :)
and im sure he got the idea from reading Thoreau. thats where i got the idea. his house is badass. i dont know if i could live off of squirrel, but i know that i'd love to learn how to garden and grow potatoes etc. anyways, this is very inspiring. more people need to be living off grid and building their own homes! especially in trees!
this is exactly what i set out to do! specifically in a tree house, which is funny because i havent heard of anyone else who has done this. me and my best friend plan to build our own tree house this summer for experience. i want to meet him, or at least write him. because this is how i want to live.

@kenmorto pickling salt? don't need salt, if you save your urin/pee for a few days in a warm place it will clean the hides and has plenty of salt and natural ammonia to clean the fats etc.. off the hides and use the brains of the animal to cure / soften the hides, ; i forget at the moment all the natural ways to do it, but there are ways if you want to live totally off the grid, check what the indian's used to do for such hundred's plus years back.

If the Farmer would allow working people to do this on their land in America, where would all of the Welfare lazies go for a check??? When you live off of the land in America, they get you for tax evasion and lock you up!

Excellent and way to go to that young guy. Just I have to add to make that amount of cheese he was trading with a local farmer he needs exactly that bottle 1.5 L of milk he got as a trading token back.... So I was just thinking, without pushing splinters in this story, where is the math?

in america, theres groups of people that live solely off the land, in a small community outside of society. if you feel like you want to do this, or you hate living in the world you live in, find them and join them. its a much more simpliar life, dont have to worry about making money, or what society expects you to do, only think you need to worry about is food, water, shelter.

I agree, but most people don't understand liberty and taking responsibility for their own actions and dealing with the consequences.
At the rate new building codes are growing here in the US, we'll be living in padded cells to protect us from ourselves.
People love to control other people, then they try and justify it by making a..."we are a society" argument.

Yes, he doesn't spend alot of money or obtain lots of possesions however those who sell ammunition sometimes do terrible things to the people and the planet and parafin is bad for the environment too so buying these he is contributing to things that he is personally trying to avoid. Still good on him for having a go, I wish more people would try living off the land and stop seeing it as poverty when in fact your life can be so much richer in personal ways rather than owning many material things!
LavenderGirl88 10 months ago
I admire the idea of living off the land and am always eager to hear about people living this way in the hope i will learn something from it. I hope to one day get back to that way of life as I grew up partly self sufficient and miss it. However, this case does strike me as just a little bit "city boy does living off the land". I don't mean it offensively, it's just I can't see paraffin and ammunition as essentials or living solely off the land.........see next comment........
