I wouldn't say I love it but I think its great for bonding and experiencing nature. Seems like people don't do that much anymore.0

Is this about making an underground bunker type thing, incase of disaster, or like zombie apocalypse or something.
If so I am not at all prepared0 -

I enjoy the outdoors. But, don't fall into the zombie apocalypse survivalist category. Have a lot of friends who do it, and I agree that some level of preparation is good to hae. But, some go way too overboard.0

im not an extreme prepper i think all you really need is a 72 hour supply of stuff in case of emergencies, i do love being outdoors tho and learning new survival skills, love hiking camping primitive and cabin type vacations, kayaking, mountain biking and @_barefoot_ a tree house would be awesome lol my picks would be a log cabin type house or a river boat home,1

Like the outdoors. Just started prepping for things like major ice storms and power outages... haven't reached zombie apocalypse level. I admit I am slowly putting together a BOB.0

I thought this was for people when the world ends or did I get "survivalist" wrong, I saw a TV show on those people once.
survivalist is just a general term for people into outdoor skills etc0 -

https://www.ready.gov is a good site that has info on what most people need in the event of a natural disaster, severe weather, etc. It's good to have a few days supply food and water in the event of being stuck in the house.
Most people aren't prepared for realistic things such as the above. It's good to have some level of prepardness in case of evacuation such as we saw in the past due to weather such as hurricanes or ice/snow storms and stuck in the home for days.
Health also plays a vital role in all of this as well. Continuously work to improve your health, as well as be aware of any special medical conditions such as diabetes, heart conditions, or others. If you have someone dependent upon powered medical devices, having a small portable generator is also a good idea.1 -
also for people who just want to have the minimum to either have or to build on you can buy 72 hour pre packed emergency kits1

Long distance backpacking (100+ miles).3

Houses are located in the outdoors and my sofa is located in my house; hence, I reckon that I'm an outdoorsman.1

I love nature. I would love to go off grid. Ironically, I can't afford it0

the current system has it to where it is very hard to break away from unless you want to be a vagabond of sorts1 -
I have enough peanut butter on hand to survive for months.
Seriously though I enjoy the outdoors and learning some basic safety/survival skills. Good things to know in case of a natural disaster or other emergency.1 -

I met a guy who lived on the Appalachian Trail. He would hike for a couple of months, and then go into a trail town to earn money at odd jobs. He'd stay in his tent on the trail and go into town to work. When he earned a few hundred, he'd head back out for another couple of months on the trail.0 -

I'm not sure what this guy's backstory was. Maybe he just needed to disconnect for a while. I'm with you, though. I'd love to do a thru hike, but would definitely look forward to the days I could experience creature comforts like a bed, shower, and toilet. LOL Hell, after being on the trail even just a few days I still look forward to those!
