Yep, sitting by the fire and "having some meat"

It's all appealing and sounds great but how is the fire there, and where does this meat come from? Let me clear up a common misunderstanding. Tv, YouTube and other media makes ever look easy 😂. You ain't gonna just go out and get some kill. You're going to walk a mile, maybe more, weighed down with your equipment and drinking water, quietly. Hours will pass. You may spot something and miss. When this happens you have to go somewhere else and try having scared away any critters. If you manage to bring 1 small critter back to camp you are blessed. They're not going to just appear in front of you for you to shoot. And if you're blessed, you've been gone for hours now it's time to carry your meal back to camp, skin it, and roast it over a fire that you make, by chopping up wood from afar off and carrying it back to camp, which is work. Oh and did you make a skewer? And how much water have you gathered and purified by more fire. Because you're probably thirsty as can be. Starting to get ripe? Wash day? Gotta take a dump? 100 more yards of walking, hole digging and burial. Avoid wiping with poison ivy 😂 try not to step over a yellowjacket hole. Really all I'm saying is it's all fun and games, in thought and taken for granted until it's time to do it. Then it's actually time to learn some tricks for keeping away flies and mosquitos. Some of those tricks might not be pleasant.. Gross actually, but if desperate, urine will work. So surviving with no resources except a few tools and skills is indeed hard work. I did it for a year with no human assistance or contact, I could do it again. The biggest setback with many people is their drive to do it. Then they end up in a energy rut and never seem to escape, or out of desperation lacking planning they drink straight out of source and end up sicker than ever before, or cook improperly causing food poisoning etc, and also mental fortitude. Chances are they could steam and coil condense water, stay hydrated and get through it but most don't. So survival in the woods requires not only work but perfection and doing everything right, a willingness to learn and planning ahead of time. It's best for people who have no one in the world. Or no one left. Gotta think about camp location too, hopefully it's not too low or too close to water. Hopefully it's far away from any game trail. Hopefully no trees around have scratch marks! There's so many things to consider. Nobody can just go out and do it, blind to reality. They'll end up dead or back in town the next day. I'm not invincible either. I'm a human being susceptible to things just like anyone. The real power is in knowing, planning, and carefully doing. Someday when I've no one left, I'm returning to camping out. And getting older is another hinderance in a way. When brute fades, knowledge becomes more important than ever. There's ways to have entertainment too! Solar panels, battery packs and music etc. It's not all fun and games but not all harsh and grueling either.
