Are you skilled in wilderness survival?

How are you going to eat? Hunting, farming, scavenging or stealing?
Where are you going to go, what type of climate?
I have to say Im skeptical if this is really going to give you what you want, and if this is a wise decision at all.
Millions of people have left the wilderness for capitalist societies. They must have had some reason. These third world 'sweat shops' as you call them are filled with people who left farming communities for those jobs. They must have some reason.

Stealing would be contrary to the central idea of why he would do this.Not because stealing is wrong,but because he is still participating in this consumerist society.

I know how you feel man. In the future I want to live in the middle of nowhere, maybe some desert or somewhere in Alaska, just cant stand the society we live in. good luck if you do decide to go for it. Even if you just go for a little while it could still be a fantastic experience

Maui would be a great place.
Tons of wilderness, plentiful fish, and lots of homeless. I was there recently and it was where i first took a serious look into whether or not i wanted to try it. I thought about it in high school after reading walden but decided agianst it.

Relying on a higher power would be completely reckless and would get you nowhere.Or on the other hand you may wonder into the desert and create your own polygamist society.

Also look into the big island or kauai
And there is a lepor colony on molokai.

Is a higher power going to feed you and keep you warm?Its reckless because higher power or not,you are still responsible for your own survival.

I think a lot of people in developed countries sometimes have similar feelings. Once you're out there, you will realize that you're full of shit. I can almost guarantee it. It seems unlikely that any of us would have the strength to do such a thing. Nothing personal.

If putting faith into something is what it takes.A person has to have faith in something to survive,whether it's their own life or a higher power,I guess it does not matter.
I was merely saying faith alone in a higher or equal power will not keep a person alive for very long in the wilderness.

None of the higher powers I have ever heard of like to help people who dont help themselves.
Even the buddha had to learn to take care of himself to survive.He didnt just frolic into the woods and lay down praying for life and enlightenment.
