I want to quit society and live out in nature.
Where can I do this, and how should I prepare?

How the hell am I supposed to go /out/ and camp in Australia when I don't have a car, and the public transport is fucking atrocious? Any ausbros got any tips? I live in the Brisbane area

Been a while since we've had an EDC thread.
What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork?

I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch

Could you survive in the Australian outback with only your knife, a cast iron frypan, a soup pot, your hard-driving 4x4, 150liters of fuel, 70 liters of water, a shovel, a winch, a bedroll, and a saw??

Thoughts?

I am retarded and I spend multiple hours fucking around trying to start a campfire until it starts burning. It's pretty much wet outside and temperatures go below freezing often.

Birch bark works well to start it, but I want to figure out how to start without it. Tried feather sticks multiple times, but it takes a very long time and results are mixed at best. And yes, the wood is dry... As for carrying some firestarting material, I don't want to because autism.

My latest idea was to split a log in half, and then with surform make enough wood shavings to start a fire, but no idea if this will work (pic related)

Any advice on how to improve firestarting would be greatly appreciated

Why is half an acre the absolute minimum land area needed to be self sufficient?
