Im actually right next to a large cow field, sad though it hasnt rained in like 2 weeks. The forecast is looking good tomorrow though. Somebody here told me these cows eat a lot of oranges, and cubes wont grow on em. Anybody know anything about this? I guess we'll find out. Ill have to get some poo pH samples or something...

It's funny how modern society has a cultural and traveling novelty called "WWOOFing" - whereby young people take off and, like in the good 'ol days, pretend for awhile that they must fight to survive.
It's almost like historical tourism, which if you think about it compliments the eco-tourism quite nicely.
its funny how modern society has made some people so jaded and cynical that they must critique everything. I think WWOOFing sounds pretty cool! maybe you do too and i'm just misinterpreting your tone.

Yeah, Florida is like that. Get out before summer gets there because the heat and humidity can be miserable. I did this 10 year ago in Colorado. Lived in a tent for about a month until I found a job and apartment. It was some of the best days and nights of my life.

I was WWOOFing before it was called WWOOFing, and I didn't have a signal for my iPhone when I was doing it.
Kidding, I'm young and I love technology (and dank organic produce). Let's combine the two, bro! It'll be just like the Pacific Northwest. Kidding again, I'm old and jaded and hate youngsters and their exuberance - especially the peaceful ideology.
I once did the Peace Corps however in a poor, black neighborhood. Felt just like a study abroad!

Dude, that sounds awesome. I mean, I'm sure it's tough but it sounds like a great experience. Keep checking in with us man!

Aye, matey. But my krill, if it kills me, won't be another chapter in someone else's book.

Nah the main focus of wwoofing is based around organic gardening and travel. Many of the hosts actually have you stay in a spare bedroom or something similar. The primitive camping is just a consequence of the farm location. Its hardly a "survivalist" experience.

WWOOFing is legit. I did a bit of it in Ireland and Scotland a couple years back. Met some great folks, helped people who needed the help, learned some basic life skills and saw a bit of the world while i was at it.
help exchange (http://www.helpx.net/) is also a legit organization i volunteered with. more of a broader focus then just organic farming.

Awesome thing to do. Love those weeks spent in nature,away from civilisation. Great chance to learn to appreciate everything you have,and see things from a different perspective. Enjoy every moment of it
