Pretty interesting stuff. I thought maybe the guy was just a hobo, but it sounds like he is (mostly) living off the land, rather than begging for handouts.

Not the frugaldad commentary, but the one it links to.

I live a fairly spartan lifestyle compared to many of my neighbors, but nothing like that guy.

Neat threads, I think I’ve popped in to other some of the other ones before. Thanks!

You are welcome, to read or to join in the thread, any time.

If one were young enough, living off the land would be a challenge.

But not around here.

A young man escaped from our jail, about 25 years ago, he knew how to survive and did, after a fashion.

After a few months, one Sunday he showed up at a homesteaders place and asked them to call the police to come and get him.

He had been eating raw rabbit, had all the nasty things they get here in the summer, worms, flukes, warbles, they say he was in bad shape.
