Has anybody ever walked through The Everglades? Would they survive? What if one decided to build a hut and live there?
Indian tribes used to live in the Everglades. I do know overpopulation wasn’t a problem they experienced there.
The mosquitoes alone would drive you out.
The Seminoles did that for centuries. Of course, that was before the area was invaded by Burmese Pythons and New York carpetbaggers.
I used to camp there. I was told that at night if you were in the middle of the darkness in the everglades, and suddenly turned on a flashlight, you would see eyes everywhere looking at you. So I hiked into the swamps from my remote campsite after midnight, from my tent. I could hear the alligators making noise (a very distinctive sound) and decided to run back to my tent.
I've canoed in lake Florida in the everglades. Very interesting experience. The gators are everywhere, and they just sit there looking at you (..please let him flip the canoe and fall in the water, please..).

The Kingston Trio released a song about that. I don’t know if it was based on a true incident (probably not), but it sure is catchy.

Not walked through the entire glades but I have walked around some.
I grew up in Southeast Florida and use to go boar, (wild hogs) hunting with my uncle.
You are better off going at night in an airboat.
Why at night?
You can spot gators easier at night because of their glowing red eyes.😁
Btw: people who say that gator, (gator tail) taste like chicken are lying!
Gator meat is Nasty unless you bury it in bbq sauce!
It actually taste like the swampy waters it comes from!
(and any human it may have had for dinner)🤣
Lots of people live in the glades.
