>>882853At least we're usually /out/ practically full time. In the last year I've slept outdoors more than I've slept indoors.
As far as neet life, if you're just hanging in one city constantly getting fucked off, I guess you're kind of right that its the neet life. Even then, I know a few of those people who are killer musicians and they put people to shame who've been playing twice as long while working a job.
I have a cousin who went to college for geology, he knows a few things about how minerals are formed and could maybe name all the common crystals or gemstones.
On the other hand, I'm usually able to identify all but the most obscure minerals/crystals/gems, could probably tell you where they came from and sometimes how they were formed. This crystal I took to three different proclaimed geology experts with degrees and all they managed to do was jizz themselves over how oddly formed it is, while simultaneously guessing it was some random common mineral like peridot or calcite(lmao). It's a Zeolite called Heulandite. Hilariously the only other person I've met who knew it was a traveling festie wire wrapper who only knew what it was because his friend commissioned a ring with one he bought online. I traded for mine.
We might be comparable to neets, but when you've got interests and pursue them we've basically got an unlimited amount of time to delve into them. Whether or not people decide to pick useful interests is up to them. A neet on /v/ could probably tell you all about video games and they're usually pretty good at them.
We do pick up /out/ skills here and there. Rainbow gatherings manage to bring thousands of people into the woods and feed them, go to a few of them and you're probably more experienced outdoors than half of /out/. Combine that with some time spent hunting/trapping game and you're basically where you need to be. We've been going /out/ for thousands of years, the tools might have changed but the basics are the same.
