In The Wild: What about diseases?
So, I’ve recently been thinking a bit about those tribes of people who you often see living in the wilderness of say, Africa, or in some rain forest secluded from civilization. Do they get diseases? Are they often life-threatening? Have the people grown a tolerance to the diseases, like animals, I guess? If I were to go there and live with them, would the symptoms of a disease specific to that general area be more severe in the case of my catching one? If they were to come here and catch a common cold, would the symptoms be life-threatening for them?
What about those people who wish to live in the wilderness, given they have the survival skills required so that they can live? How would they be able to avoid diseases? Would they just develop a tolerance to any disease around there? Is that possible? Do you think they could survive? I know there are TV shows about living in the wilderness. I haven’t watched many, yet, though and I probably should to get more of a feel for it. Maybe I should go camping.
I’ve always wanted to kind of escape society. The African Wilderness has always attracted me, or the wilderness in general. I really like the idea of a very natural life. I think we, in this society, are overly materialistic and so out of touch with our selves as humans; as animals. I just want to experience it, you know? But there are so many things that really prevent us from doing it. Like diseases. We’d probably die if we got one out there, right?
Maybe I should be one of those African Safari people who study the biodiversity/ecosystem of the wilderness and stuff, so I can get in touch with nature. God, I don’t know what I want to do.
But yeah, back to the question. What about diseases?

Questions about switching from urban life to life in the wild.?
Hi, I’m tired of the modern materialistic world and would like to venture into the wild. I will be living in a tent and off of whatever I can pack in my hiking framed backpack. I’d like to be far away from civilization and near a water source, caves, and plenty of trees/plants. I am an avid outdoors man and do possess survival skills. I plan on living the rest of my life in nature. I live in Southern California and would like to know the following:
Where is the closest large forest to me where I could possibly do this?
Is there anything special I should know about this place?
I have about $500 to spend, what should I get to prepare myself?
Please include any other comments that may help me in my new beginning.
Yes, I have seen and read the book and movie Into the Wild. There’s not much going for me in life right now. I’ve been laid off, divorced, and robbed in the last year. I am certain of my choice and would like to continue the remainder of my life where I love: The Outdoors. Please contribute to my question or otherwise not contribute with your negative opinions.
I don’t really understand what an Apocalypse is?
I asked a question yesterday about the Myan’s predicting the end of the world in 2012. (See this link to my question here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhshknsjiX4sfa74HFo62aLsy6IX?qid=20070105085131AAf8hAR ) Someone mentioned how it has to do with an Apocalypse…which she made it seem like an Apocalypse is the end of a civilization. How would that be possible if history never “ended” and all the civilizations we learned about either continued or transformed into new ones? Just help me explain!

Where can I rent an uninhabited island?
I want to rent a completely uninhabited island for 3-4 weeks at most, for a survivalist adventure. Me and several friends are going to try to live off of the land for that time, with no contact with civilization, and try to devise a method to get back. We will bring some guns, fishing poles, and knives. On the island there should be an abundance of edible flora and fauna. Please respond with opportunities to rent.
