Second step: become proficient at bushcraft, because thats where youll be spending the rest of your life after following step one.

Not to keep running with thr joke, but:

- while a total lockdown on exposure control of your personal data is basically impossible, proactive choices do limit it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand

- a working knowledge and practice of bushcraft can be a useful skill, a fulfilling hobby, and can be practiced without feeding money to whatever the flavor of the week is

- conversely, if you do get into that, be prepared for profiteers in that field to push into your attention. Going all bushcrafty is no protection on its own.

This is functionally impossible in much of modern society.

Maybe modern society was a mistake.

how much time have you spent in a non-modern society? cuz I got deployed twice and saw some pretty backwards-ass places overseas.

like we can just pass laws that respect privacy, dawg. build some better public transit.

That’s pretty tough to argue by any measurement I can think of.
