Recently I got into a 5-year plan of shifting to life in the field, and as such I'm preparing myself for it. Being a huge nerd who sits on his lard ass everyday, I had to do some lifestyle changes for this plan to have any feasibility.
The first part is starting to work out. Living off the land is hard work and takes discipline and stamina, also toughness should accidents happen and they always do. So I enrolled on a boxing academy which I go 3x a week, the other days I run and control my diet.
The second part is the spiritual part. I've been working my prayers and thoughts and trying to really understand the beauty of a life which is harder than my current urbanite shlock. This happened much quicker than I thought, nature just simply calls to us.
The third part is having both theoretical and practical experience with this life. For such I have been doing small expeditions to different countrysides, from the dangerously urbanised to the boondocks. My only issue with building a homestead is I gotta have a hospital or equivalent at a 20min car distance tops. There's dangers in living off the land, some of those are life-threatening and I can't enjoy the /out/s without being alive (cont.)
