There was one sentence in a documentary about mountain rescue. One of them said "There is this mindset that whatever you want to accomplish, you can achieve. However, the mountains do not care about what you want to accomplish."
We are currently in a trend that you can do everything you set your mind to, and, to be fair, people can do incredible things. But somewhere, there is a limit and I think the open ocean and mountains show you these limits quickly.
I love it when someone posts about living in the woods away from civilization and most comments recognize how difficult it actually is in practice. Nature is very harsh and a very clear indicator of how incompetent or helpless we can be without our tools and regular comforts.
This is why it's nice to dream of an off grid Alaska home, then realize what a pain it would be...or maybe not.. I bet I could do it
I'm sure you could do it. It's the how well and for how long that make me waver.
