I agree, but those resources never seem to exist all at the same time!! In Maine, I ate clams and fish for 3 days. That was great but with only beach peas and wild rose hips as veggies, it gets old, FAST!! Fishing can take a LOT of time. Taking game much larger that what you can eat in 1-2 days is a waste of time as well unless it's very cold. I honestly don't know how the native Indians here in Florida survived. There is plenty of easy fishing and wild food but living in this climate year round...... They must have been tough.
They saw my hands. We built shelter, did all our own water sourcing, learned navigation and rock climbing, did a canoe trip on Cedar Creek at midnight, by sunrise, we were at Barnegat Light. Learned some trapping, ate what we caught, (cans were long gone by that point), learned to improvise a lot of things you take for granted. At the end, there was a 3-day "solo", where they dropped you off in the middle of the Pine Barrens and you had to find water, make shelter, and feed yourself for three days. Some went hungry, some went without shelter, and some were fairly thirsty when they came to pick us up. I was near a stream (water source), and there was a thicket that I claimed as my camp, no fires were allowed, hiked three miles to visit my neighbor the second day, he had water, but hadn't constructed shelter, and was very hungry...showed him a blueberry patch I had passed. It was a blast!
As for no electricity, yea, I could do that for a while. At least, I like to think I could.
