  1. If we could have a quasi hunter gatherer like life.... because running portable water and sewers make life so nice. I hunt and camp. But I always love coming back to a functioning toilet and bath tub and shower aka civilization.... and I often do shower in creeks while camping, but it's not the same as warm running water and dealing with sewage with a flush... And don't to rosy of a picture, we know many hunter gatherers and things weren't that great for them that wasn't mentioned: famine was a real concern, hence their nomadic wanderings, and they did exist between entire bands not mentioned here, they had to communicate with different 150 people groups with several other nearby groups. Then other completely different tribes often warred with each other, and some were less successful than others in such conflicts or at enjoyable existence. Teeth have been a problem for some time. Child mortality wasn't just due to chronic condition, but often poor nutrients from nursing and first infections of various pathogens... in really destitute nations child mortality is still high due to the same otherwise simple ailments that would have been avoided with modern medical (vaccinations being top among them) treatments. Hence why human populations hunter gatherer or early farming had large families; about half on average would die before their 10th birthday. Worse periods, almost all would die. The point is, you don't want to say fuck this go in the wilds; you'll live wonderfully... you'll be comically or cruelly (which ever your humor goes) disappointed. Instead, maybe realize people really don't like working that long. And that shouldn't be something to be ashamed that that doesn't necessarily mean you're lazy, you just want to do other things. And that should be a goal, to reduce hours worked, and focus on the other "non-work" items like hobbies and such.
