I wish I was a survivalist. I've wanted to ever since I read My Side of the Mountain in elementary school. In case you haven't read it (which would be a true tragedy), the protagonist, Sam, is a boy who runs away to the Catskills, lives in a tree, forages his own food, and trains a wild peregrine falcon. He was so clever. (I realize he's fictional. Fictional Sam was so clever.) I grew up playing in the woods, hiking and climbing trees, and I can identify a lot of plants, but I know if I tried to live out there, I'd die. It's humbling, really, to think about how dependent I am. I've never even been LEGIT camping. If you're wondering what legit camping is, it's the kind where you hike in somewhere and there's no toilet.
Can I take survivalist classes? Am I the only one worried by their utter dependence on commercial industry?
