Anybody else want to go full Jeremiah Johnson mode?



Society doesn't really offer much anymore. Every town is the same, all the suburbs just print out houses, there's no true excitement or adventure, just artificially getting that dopamine fix on the computer/tv. Everywhere you go liberals screech about some nonsense no one before the internet gave a single f*ck about. Feels like nobody has anything in common either, everyone has different hobbies and its like 1/20 people are similar to you in any way. Just boring. It'd be different if I was in a job where I could conquer the industry, that would be fun and exhilarating. Right now it just seems liking grinding meaninglessly until you get put in a bed and drift slowly into death with a morphine drip.

vs.

live in the woods
make a shelter, hunt for your own food, danger may come in the night
learn tons of new skills
enjoy the fresh air all day every day
get to look at the night's sky that our ancestors looked at for hundreds of generations as you drift off into sleep
can do whatever you want

I've gone thruhiking for weeks in various parts of the US and went canoeing every summer for over a decade on a very remote national river where you didn't see any one at all, and also I've hunted a lot, so I'm not like that retard who went to Alaska and died from berries. Think it would be fun, maybe not for life, but just for a few years to get a better perspective on things. I wouldn't want to do it forever because I definitely want a wife and kids, but this current political climate/work structure is maximum boring and feels like a waste of life.
