Would you have done well as a hunter gatherer?

[Weebster]

Modern society is an aberration.

 

[PreussenBlueJay]

Oh yeah. I'm good at collecting stuff in RPGs. Just pile it in the tent and get excited for survival.

I collected so much shit in Skyrim lol my ocd ruins gaming

 

[whatevs]

I'm also a big gatherer/explorer in RPG's, I think I would do fine as long as I wasn't expected to hunt much. Perhaps using traps and fishing.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Yes l would do very well living out in the wild, as long as l had a large sharp Bowie knife, a flint and strike, a strong axe and a bout 50ft of cable.

You would have stones and sticks and vines only.

Let's book our tickets to Anchorage and find out.

Nat geo is not the most accurate portrayal, but even by their fairly liberal portrayals, a life in the wild is like a nightmare.

For us now, but not if we grew up in it.

Reminds me of the last of his tribe in the Amazon rainforest.

Callme, ALL life is like a nightmare. We just need to pick the least nightmarish lifestyle... or none.

For some, having to fend off beasts, kill and cultivate your own food, confront the harsh climate, etc is probably way more bearable than accepting forced masking, obedience passports and whatever they might have in the works for the future (including what might result from WW3 or whtever crisis that comes, which will be "casually" more centralized control, Internet censorship and loss of individual autonomy).

 

[DontplayGod]

No, I can't even get out of bed now lol

The old way is what we evolved for. I prefer a life that ends at 30 after years of hanging with my tribe every day, exploring, and worshipping the spirits that live in every object.

No, I can't even get out of bed now lol

Not as you are now but as you would've been if you had been born in that environment.

 

[Sherri]

Not as good as you but yes.

 

[Squalo]

I am very good with knots, I can work wood and light a fire, but I am unable to hunt.
I would probably die of hunger, but in a warm log cabin.

I would never shoot an animal. I would love also to live in a log cabin but with a small village somewhere in Alaska.

there are bears in Alaska, they scare me ):

 

[Sherri]

Yes there are. But that's why there are shot guns in every cabin, now with much sorry that is an animal I would have to kill.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Why would l only be allowed those 3 items? A Sharp knife is essential out in the wilderness,not just as a tool but for protection also!!!

Don't forget the Terrifying Honey Badgers?

 

[Someone123]

I think I'd be really good at pooping in the woods.

My question is past tense. Where you getting a knife in the ancient world? Stones would be your best bet.

That's what I meant Dude! A sharpened and shaped piece of flint with a wood/bone handle and vine wrapped round it and tree sapp as glue resin would hold it all together nicely, and a couple of thick spears made the same way would have you armed and in a better position to defend and attack!

Have you ever made one of those? That'd be cool.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Yes, l've made several Spear's and Three flint knives, and a flint fire stone/lighter!

That's really cool. What would you do about wounds and injuries in the ancient world?

 

[LONE WOLF.]

For wounds l would look for a bee's hive and gently borrow a small piece of their honey, 1 for its editable vitamin c and 2 for it's healing properties and smear the honey over my wound! If my wound was past healing with honey l would look for maggots and put a handful onto my wound and let them eat the dead rotten smelly flesh then scrape them off and smear some honey onto the wound! Also a fire some wild mint leaves some nettles and a chunk of honey would make a nice rejuvenating bowl of tea that would give your body a much needed health boost!

 

[Disappointered]

I would probably fare badly but on the other hand, the only reason I could be fabricated as an involuntary pioneer and science experiment is because of a degenerated stage of modernity. In an age of hunter gatherers I would never have come to exist. Yes...modern society is shit.

 

[Blondi]

As a partially crippled guy with a horrible eyesight I would have been bound to
a tree and left to starve
Also life of a hunter gatherer was a rubbish personified. Beds with lices( even If you had beds) , constant lack of food , omnipresent violence , small injury causing atrociously painful infection and death , close to zero entertainment , sh*tting in caves and no higiene . No thank you I like my food , medicine , entertainment , laws .

 

[orange]

Like, in the stone age? If I was lucky I'd die of a cold at 2 months old.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Maybe if I had been born into it although I kind of doubt it because I've been incredibly lazy my whole life.

 

[motel rooms]

Yes. I'm pretty sure bears, wolves & otters would let me eat them without any resistance.
