POLL: Do you ever wish you had Wilderness ‘survival skills’ like our more primitive ancestors?

I sure do! Building a hut out in nature and growing my own food (if I knew it) seems a hell of a lot more liberating than spending 40 hours a week for the rest of my life being someone else’s female dog!

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.
