I think about it everyday and then I remember that the woods are filled with creepy, crawly things and I have no survival skills plus there’s no bathroom plumbing so….I’ll just hide out in my house.

@Novels56 I was six when I saw the movie version of "My Side Of The Mountain", where a 12 year old goes off to live in the woods alone (with his dad's permission?!). It became my favorite book, I started learning about backyard foraging, and to this day I have a wilderness survival manual as bathroom reading for funsies. I'm shocked I don't know more, probably because I've always also thought air conditioning is nice, but please ase don't tempt me.

@tippitiwichet one of my favorite books. My fifth grade teacher read it to us back in the dark ages. 😂

@Novels56 I recently found out it's a trilogy now, it's waiting for when some priority things get done before I splurge.

@tippitiwichet @Novels56 There's a book called Hatchet that is similar that you might like then.

@tippitiwichet I didn’t realize there was a third book. Did you ever read any Gary Paulsen’s books…Hatchet and 4 others in the series (Brian’s Saga) Excellent books even if they are written for younger readers. There are so many excellent YA novels out there.

@Novels56 Lol, I think I just saw you like someone else recommend that. Fine, I'll read it! Lol.
