“””These fools weren’t living off the grid; they were three utterly clueless people who naively thought that “nature will provide.” They went into the wilderness wholly unprepared.”””

True, they weren’t really doing anything outside of their imaginations, they simply grabbed some food and a tent, went outdoors and starved while waiting for the survival TV-type stuff to happen.

I watched a guy on YouTube build a nice little log cabin in 30 minutes. What's the big deal?

What's the problem? It looks like there were two women who decided they didn't need a man to make that log cabin, and the 14 year old wasn't yet up to the job.

Off grid living is not easy. But unless you are stupid it should not kill you.

These people were not that bright. Too bad about the kids.

My family still uses American Indian. For those who object to the name “Indian” don’t sweat it. India is changing their name and so once more we will be the ones left standing.

When the SHTF, I'm bugging out to Driftwood, TX, about 30 miles west of Austin, and an hour east of Fredericksburg. Driftwood is a town of 300, with several wineries and dining establishments, to include Salt Lick BBQ.

If you gotta go, might as well enjoy what little time left eating well and drinking great wine.

Gotta be a YouTube video for all that, right? Right? Easy-peasy...

Just kidding. You wouldn’t find me doing that without first taking some real hands-on training...maybe trying it in a more accommodating environment.

Should have followed the Brown family on the show: Alaskan Bush People!

They’ve done it for years!😁

Probably one of the first things they learned was to move out of the mountains and down onto the plains in autumn.

I was doing a job on an Indian reservation and my client was there. We met a local guy that was in charge of the site. I asked the local guy if he was with the Indian tribe (stupid question I guess - of course he was).

But my client said to me in front of the guy “It’s “Native American” tribe. I looked at the local guy and said (knowing the answer) “what do you call yourself?”

“Indian”.

He later told me that the various names for all of the tribes was a white man invention. The Indian’s “tribe” was “human”. Just like the bears were a tribe, the eagles another tribe, etc.

I asked him “Well - what about the other Indians that weren’t part of your group?”

“Well of course they were in another group - you don’t steal and kill and take slaves from your own group. But they weren’t a different tribe.”

I don’t exactly recall now it has been so long ago, but I’m thinking that he said they didn’t have a formal name for the other “tribes” - just knew that they were different.

Gunnison is often to the coldest place in Colorado. We lived just east of there. The cold air from Gunnison would hug the ground and flows across our place. It was a sight to see a white cloud formation just a few hundred feet thick flow quickly across the ground.

Nature is nature…it doesn’t try, it’s just nature…it is what it is. No feelings or motive at all.

“First Americans” is something I will buy, for it’s a fact.
Another accurate term is indigenous people.

I never liked “Native American” as anyone born in the US is a native American. It’s a commie political correct thing that got going a few years ago. I drove through a nearby rez often, and many signs refer to the term “Indian”.
