Smith, Susan, Rawat. the point of this whole thing was NEVER to have other people live this way, and once he was so depleted by the hard work he ate a deer that was road kill whereas he lost a lot of his social media followers (article in Orlando Sentinel.) The point of this lifestyle is to have more of a connection to one’s food, to help grow it or to fish (and if you have the tools to hunt for it) so not to have everything processed and packaged.) Unless you are a farmer who can grow your own foods and raise your own lifestock it is NOT pragmatic, but he used that experience to have community garden and also gave away seeds. Did you know food banks are mostly dry starches and canned fruits and vegetables as they both are perishables and more expensive, growing your own food allows you to have access to cheap produce.

Seems a bit far fetched, the bit about foraging for long hours. Perhaps not sustainable for the long term.

My father and grandfather were farmers. We learned to grow our own meat and process it. To can, dry or freeze it. We learned to grow enough vegetables to feed our family and most of the neighborhood. He did this because during the depression he knew family members, children and neighbors that literally starved to death. He taught me to save seeds, and to sprout them and grow them out. To companion plant. As a younger person I did not realize the importance these skills would be. I will always be self sufficient – no matter where I go. The government will never have control over what my family has to eat, and for the most part I do it chemical free.

When did you have time to cook?

“Foraging 40-80 hours per week” -what is foraging? Did he eat any meat? No family to support? A nice feel good story but not applicable to the majority of us.
