    its a very interesting question, one that most of us have thought about more than once i'm sure, i think that it is possible, difficult and lonely, but possible, our modern world will hinder the free spirited just because thats how large societies work, they are trying to box us, as thats the best way to control us, and in societies you need control of your population, the alternative would be anarchy.

    i work with animals, specifically dogs, and a good way to look at it is this, would you take your little pet and throw him out in the wild alone and expect him to live as a wild animal? survive maybe but live? some breeds would have more luck than other as some more resourceful humans would, but we have been domesticated just like out pets so most would just survive and not really live.

    in the uk tho do we sill have the space and the clean enviroment that could sustain a healthy life? it would depend on weather you can find that enviroment in the uk i think. not an easy task.

    but i wish you all the luck in the world.

    @Tony1948- Sound's like fun, quite brave aswell being only 17! its not bears im worried about, staple carbohydrates is my main concern.

    @Proventurer- Kind of hard to believe although einstein said that if the bee's disappear man would have four years to live, bee numbers started dropping in 2008 i think lol.

    @Raven- Thats a good way of looking at it, we adapt to our enviroment quite quickly hypertrophy or muscle growth is a good example.
    Clean enviroment's will be tricky as i plan to travel, luckily a quick google search show's there's stiill quite alot of fresh springs around the country.

    As an afterthought, why don't you try contacting, Hugh fearnley-Whittingstall on this subject, he is something akin to a boffin on the topic.

    As much as I love Hugh fernley-whitingstall and the way the man has brought some education to the general public, not sure I would want him in a live/survive situation, but give me Ray Mears, Les Stroud and the like any day.
    Actually, if I really think about it if it all goes pear shaped do you think we on this site should have a grand plan and meeting spot. What a great way to survive with like minded people. All the skills and knowledge available.
    So Ashley let's get a grand plan together !!!!

    Don't be confused mate, it was a dirty filthy spammer, using this great forum to advertise their rubbish. All gone now and banned for life.

    Yeah,
    Thanks for that Martin, I keep forgetting about nonsense like that, Spam to me was something that came out of a tin and went on bread, it became even more famous once the "Monty Python" team did their sketch, pity these modern day spammers don't have a sense of humour and what is right and wrong!

    They actually destroyed a forum I had for programming students... hadn't been on it for a few month and the spambots had got past CAPTCHA and just had a field day... nightmare.... 10 gigabytes of textual data....
