System Breakdown

[Wei Shan Yang]

You guys are all ahead of me. Fantastic to hear about your dreams and plans I was a nature kid, now I've become a city woman,...just realized this. It started after I moved to Washington DC area when I was 22. Talk about rat race...it doesn't get any worse then that. I hated it. The only plus was the cultures that lived there and brought all this diversity to go out and experience. But other than that, smog, traffic, rudeness, working ass off in a building all day, coming home to another building. Concrete everywhere, structure everywhere. When we moved to southern Virginia I fell in love with it, so much better there. We are trying to move back there now. New Mexico is another option, which wouldn't be bad. Also we are considering the DC area again if it means there is a job there, ugh, I so hope we don't end up in DC area again, now especially after reading this thread!



I know how to fish (though out of practice), that's one thing my grandpa used to take us to do on Indian reservations in New Mexico. Growing gardens is another thing...I never did really do that, but my sister is very good at it. Turin you sort of remind me of my sister



Do you guys read survival books? Books by people who talk about surviving naturally. Oh and just remembered...there is a nice video called Alone in the Wilderness, the story of Dick Proennke. Its really enjoyable to watch, meditate to even, so peaceful. He talks in the video as he is living alone in Alaska and building his cabin and shows you every step as he does it. http://www.dickproenneke.com/
