Actually living and surviving outdoors...not just camping....

[dgmj10]

Hopefully the wife and I would be together! It would make things easier on multiple levels. I have strong regional plant id skills, I am an average game hunter. My wife has an above average knowledge of plant utilization. She traps ( much more important than hunting) and fishes better than I.
The main variable for us, would be security. If security required constant movement I dont think we would rate but a stong 3 maybe a 4. That being a year max , perhaps only up till a harsh winter. A nomadic life is difficult ,constant movement makes it hard to collect, preserve and store food. If we could find an area with a good water source to cultivate that would put us up about a 8 or 9.Being able to have a place to create or inhance permant shelter would have to be the goal in the woods. It wood be extremely difficult for 2 people with a minimalist amount of tools.
