Are humans allowed to live wild in the USA and Canada's?

@CrazyMusicLover except bears, mountain lions and Bigfoot. Hehe.

@cherokeepatti Yes but I'm sure Native Americans knew how to protect themselves from them. Like tribes in Amazon rainforest.

@CrazyMusicLover imagine living in the deep forest, you know what all to do to protect yourself, you have everything you need for daily living.. But then a devastating forest fire happens. It will take these survivalists out in a heartbeat.

@cherokeepatti Yup, that is true. They stand no chance without any warning. I wonder if people in past migrated as soon as they sensed drought coming. Or if they somehow knew where to migrate to.

@Bugbittinbrain That's impressive. I can't really imagine living hardcore off-grid without electricity, for example. The main issue is how to conserve and store food.

@CrazyMusicLover Natives did that a hundred years ago and people could learn from them, many still do.

@Bugbittinbrain I remember reading The Way West by A. B. Guthrie Jr. which is about The Oregon Trail and one thing that stuck in my mind was the description of a bison stampede. it's one of the things that would probably never occur to me as a great danger when migrating across the country.

@CrazyMusicLover they’d hear it from a distance. In the Great Plains it would be hard to find a place to hide from them. If there was a wooded area nearby people could hide among the trees or climb up one.

Sad but true

@HumanEarth well in the movies they would hunt for meat. It would be basically like being on a keto diet if you made wild meats the basis for a diet. And if there are streams and lakes you could fish.

@cherokeepatti Yeah, but I bet the fish is poisoned with mercury and other heavy metals. Thanks to pollution

@HumanEarth might be, less chance than being in a developed area though with run-off of yard chemicals and farm chemicals.
