If you have a cabin, go out there, /jp/. I study during weeks, but spend most my time out alone in the woods. It's really soothing. Plus you get to be alone all the time.

It'll do wonders for your depression just focusing on getting food in you, sleeping and being comfortable. Plus, fall forests are beautiful...

I know that not everyone has one. I know many /jp/ers are poor. But you can even live in the forest in many places. I'm collecting stuff for a kit to do so in case I get kicked out or something.

I find comfort in being in the woods. Wild animals are the only thing you need to worry about, and we're built to outsmart them.

I think many of you /jp/sies would enjoy this kind of thing too. There is so much you can learn from the internet about living innawoods.

If you want to sustain yourself, you'll need acres of land, not sq feet.
This would actually only require an investment of maybe $10,000, if you plan to live in america. In other places it could ratchet up to $30,000 or more, or if you choose czech republic or something like that you might only need $1000.
Something I think about now and then is teaming up with a bunch of other isolationists and buying some land in a country somewhere (preferably somewhere with some sort of legal system so we don't get raped by niggers) and becoming self sufficient- and also selling excess produce to pay taxes.

I've always lived in a big city and I hate it. I want to move somewhere with lots of nature and four real seasons, where the leaves turn orange in the fall, snow covers the ground in winter, and everything blooms in the spring. In my dream house I would live about 500 feet away from any other houses (but not too far away from the rest of civilization) and my backyard would be a forest I could wander in and see wildlife and flowers. I am very sheltered and have never traveled outside of my state. Does such a place exist outside my imagination?

There is not enough food energy in an allotment to sustain you. And there are up and down times in raising crops. It's the downturns that will cause a disaster for you. And clothes, items, daily personal upkeep, electricity all costs money. As soon as you go into debt, your property will be seized after a lawsuit is raised against you. Due to the republican law changes (for personal debts and bankruptcies) during the bush administration, they really can seize your home for UNrelated expenses and kick you out after the appropriate lawsuit is filed. It has to be a corporation vs you and not the other way around though since the laws were made to protect the companies against debts incurred by individuals.

If it is that remote where no one comes to kick you off the land, then that means it is public land. Eventually, the law will find you because they are always looking for marijuana growers. And if you are in an area that can grow marijuana, the growers will KILL YOU to get you out of the way. They've done that to other homeless people looking to squat on public land in California.

I wouldn't be surprised that mysterious wildfires occur near you if you try to live where others are disturbed by your presence. When the gov't comes to put out the fire, they will blame you for causing the fire and you could be jailed for it.

My county has laws regulating homes that someone lives in. They require electrical connection or proven electrical solution that is installed by licensed, bonded person. You must also have a water solution that is legally approved. You must also have a waste disposal solution that is legally approved. And you must not reside in a watershed area. Etcetera.

Not that same anon, but I highly suggest going over to /k/ and lurking/making a survival thread. There are tons of people there with absolutely incredible amounts of information for survival and it's not limited in just weapons.

You can also try /x/, I bullshit you not they have quality survival threads; or at least they did about seven months ago, I haven't really been there lately.

The /x/ threads will be more likely to have more info on things to make your conditions better, while the /k/ threads will be more on the making traps/important tools to have; but this isn't absolute, and both boards can easily give you knowledge on anything you ask.

It's not all easy. Play some STALKER, that should scratch your itch to some extent.

Fanbase aside, is Adventure Time actually good? How's the voice acting? I don't mind shoddy animation, but voice acting is usually my biggest turn-off with Western animes.

It has a lot of "nerd" references like D&D.

The voice acting is good, one of the main characters is a kid and the other is bender from Futurama.

They are often very subtle too. One example is where one character got a bunch of magic rings from a wizard and another character was jealous. The character with the rings tried to give one to him but he couldn't take it off and said "it must be cursed". It was very insignificant to the plot but I believe it was a reference to nethack?

Not to mention the "under the radar" stuff.

I think being unable to remove cursed items from oneself is a bit more universal than that.

Really though, this is offtopic and derailing.
