living off the land survival
Walking into the wilderness and surviving over a long period ? (Perhaps years)?

I am seriously considering walking into the wilderness and living my life peacefully. I would like to live off of the land, wildlife, lakes, streams and rivers. This is NOT a fly-by-night decision and I would welcome any suggestions or experiences that anyone may have had in this area. I have researched such things as must have survivalist essentials. Tent, sleeping bag, survivalist kits, rifles, fishing gear, survival books, food, water, clothing, etc., etc. What I am interested in reading about from readers is personal experiences or from people who would be interested in attempting the same lifestyle. I am planning this major step in my life sometime within the next three months. Experiences ? Suggestions ? Encouragement ? Interest in participating ? All ideas are welcome. Please, serious responses only. Thanks.

The way my life is going, I would love to follow you into the wild. I am miserable sitting in my office all day and dreaming of being outside. I have thought about taking some time for myself after I finish my masters degree, and maybe hiking the appalachian trail or something. I am tired of all the stress and deadlines, and would welcome the freedom of roaming the wilderness. I think it is a great idea, and I think you should go for it if you really want it.

By the way, where are you planning to go? I think Alaska would be an excellent place to attempt something like this.
