Having actually thrown away my phone, and lived in the woods, I can say I recommend the former as a fantastic mental health improvement. Living in the woods, not so much.
- orzig 4y agoMy very favorite part of HN is when someone is like “I’m actually an experienced XYZer, here’s the inside scoop” usually for a niche industry, now for niche lifestyles. Thanks for the data point! Can you say more about the experience? Where did you end up?
- guerrilla 4y agoWhat's wrong with the woods?
- RajT88 4y agoMosquitos. Poison ivy. If he is growing his own food - a variety of animals will be eating the veggies. Rabbits, cabbage moths (evil bastards), groundhogs, raccoons...
- guerrilla 4y agoCabbage moths are the worst... The other things seem pretty avoidable though...
- RajT88 4y agoI guess the other animals there's strategies to deal with them. Poison ivy sneaks up on you. Young plants can be hard to see, and if you're like me, you won't know you've been exposed for a few days... And then it's ALL OVER.
