the manly urge to run and live in a forest

[REALiNSaNgAMingGODPrODIgY]

but there is no more forests and i think living in a forest preserve seems weird. sigh i should go camping some day but i prob would die from a bear or wolf or from pollen or whatever nature does.

plus eating deer seems gross and fish would get so boring after a while.

maybe i like the normal life.....

Just being in a forest is great (until the sun goes down).

Also, not being an apex makes you food. Think about how that would feel.

They are many posts on social media about wanting to live in the forest or woods in a log cabin by a lake or river surrounded by mountains. It's simply a dream by many who would never survive in such a place.

Yes, we all know what happens to the people that stay in log cabins in the woods.

Watching Evil Dead and Friday the 13th in the 80's quickly changed my mind about wanting to stay in the woods

There's no forests any more?

♥♥♥♥, that's news to me as the one a few miles from me must have disappeared then.

There's nothing manly about it though. It's just some people like to bugger around in nature. Id o too, doesn't make me manly, nor girly.

I do like to wander in forests and always have. I grew up in a place in Bedfordshire where literally the end of our road was the entrance to a massive woods. We'd play there for hours.

Perhaps that influenced why I like them.

But aside from that, living in the countryside anyway I've always found pretty cool too. Wandering around in total darkness at night and camping out in weird places has just been part of growing up.

Nowt wrong with that.

NIMBY, hooman.

I totally feel the same often.

I wouldn't see it as a step back. Sometimes, less is just more, you know?

Even without preparation, I would probably survive longer than if I would have to go live in New York City for example. I'd probably jump off a building within a week.
And even if I would know I would die within a week, it could very likely be the best week of my life, really living...

I grew up on a little farm between two city borders. I climbed in trees, I made hay camps... I consider myself as lucky.
Now I live in a more rural area. I see a tree here and their between the fields and theirs a tiny piece of forest not so far from here.

But it wouldn't only be about the green (which has proven helping mental well-being by the way). In my case, it would be more about the going away as far as possible from humanity.

You do know its possible to have internet and electricity in a cabin in the woods, right?

And not every forested housing area is an off-grid situation.

Now if they are some "F**kcars redditor" that talks about "muh walkable cities" and how many mocha-latte-hipster-frappuccinos they chug a day at $10 a shot... Yeah they wouldn't survive being in nature.

If I want to into the woods I simply go outside.

last time I was in a real forrest I bumped into a huge buffalo like creature with huge horizontal horns and while I was looking at this animal face to face (it was calm and not give a ♥♥♥♥ about me cause he like 1000+ kg bull) I was also standing on an ant nest with 1 foot and then started to panic dance when they crawled up into my pants.
the buffalo just looked at me like I was crazy.

Yes I do, I have stopped in one in York, UK many christmas's ago, it was really nice.

Same hipsters are the ones who complain about the cost of living and cost of housing being un-affordable too.

One of my favourite movies is First Blood.
Rambo runs from the cops in to the forest and i firmly believe he could just live there, he knows what to do.
Sometimes i think i could do the same but i like pillows and the internet.

A most excellent movie.

[ʙᴜɴ.ᴇ]

I'm a rabbit, I already live in and around forests.

its not that bad.

And all he wanted was something to eat.

*watches a unabomber edit once* the post, but either way I feel like touching more grass and being more outdoors would solve all these modern problems you're speaking of, without leaving steamcommunity off-topic discussion comfort :D
