Into the Wild is a 2007 American biographical survival film based on the travels of Christopher McCandless across North America and his experiences in the Alaskan wilderness in the early 1990s.

If you are asking for advice, here is mine. For now, make a shelter or take a tent, bring some "already made" modern gear, a reliable fire source along with some food and spend some time out living in the woods. If you are planning to do it alone, please beware that living in isolation may not be for Everyone. Also let someone know where you will be and have some way of contacting them in case of emergency. Even with a tent, food etc. You will be challenged to prove your skills. 100% Primitive is extremely difficult and may result in you getting hurt or killed. Please be careful. Best of Luck with your quest.

BrianS:
katzmoor,
I got to thinking about my post and how it may be misinterpreted. I do not want to discourage your quest. One of the most important skills one can learn is to be comfortable living by themselves in the woods. The primitive skills will take time to learn but in the meantime learning to be at home in the woods can be learned safely using modern gear until you learn the primitive stuff needed. Good luck with your quest Young Man.

Katzmoor -

First let’s start off with

Clean Water :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SAWYER-PRODUCTS-Water-Filtration-System/dp/B0185QNVE2

(Unfortunately 99.99% of water is undrinkable because of a witch’s brew of bad bacteria & human caused pollution . . . and ends the tale of your “prepping adventure” by dysentery or worse . . .)

then follow the C’s to whatever destination you choose :


• Cutting device

• Combustion device

• Cordage

• Container

• Cover


regards,

Acorns here in Florida do not taste very good even after leaching. Have you planned for mosquitos, because they are bad even in the Panhandle. I was born in Pensacola and have family all over up there. There is good rock up there, you just need to educate yourself about Coastal Plains Chert. I wish you good luck and remember, Black bears will beat you until you are dead unlike Grizzly's.
