So a friend of mine.....

So, my piece of advice, is to have the 15 year old moving into the wild attempt to tame a bear and create a bear cavalry. With the bear cavalry he could plunder towns for the rest of his life and become a wealthy man because honestly, who is going to fuck with a bear cavalry? Nobody thats who. If he fails at that well he's fucked.

dude, don't let him go. i beg of you. he's going to die, and you're going to get in HUGE trouble because allowing him to do it and announcing it on a public forum can probably get you at least manslaughter. tell his parents, or at least let them know where the cabin is.
 
That has to be one of the worst plans ever. Your friend is not Bear Grills. He's better of staying at home with food, water and a bed.
 
Once he actually sees/hears animals that could destroy him and knowing the fact that he's in a tiny cabin with no security systems and all alone, he'll be home the next day
 
Shut up dude he can't get in trouble for not stopping a kid who makes a decision less than stellar that can only hurt himself. It's not like hes an accomplice to a murder or something.
 
And plus, if anything happens to him, I'm sure you will feel guiltly knowing you could of stopped him or helped get into that situation.
 
From Wikipedia:





Manslaughter is a legal term for the killing of a human being, in a manner considered by law as less culpable than murder. The distinction between murder and manslaughter is said to have first been made by the Ancient Athenian lawmaker Dracon in the 7th century BC.[1]

The law generally differentiates between levels of criminal culpability based on the mens rea, or state of mind. This is particularly true within the law ofhomicide, where murder requires either the intent to kill – a state of mind called malice, or malice aforethought – or the knowledge that one's actions are likely to result in death; manslaughter, on the other hand, requires a lack of any prior intention to kill or create a deadly situation.
 
Im all for dropping out of school, and ski everyday, but honestly theres better ways of doing it. Honestly, he will run out of food, eat something bad, get sick, and possibly die.
 
don't worry guys im sure he's watched enough man vs. wild to get by. all he needs is a knife and some piss and he can make it for the three years easy.
 
i think ill let his sister know shes older (21) and see what she has to say about it. I dont get why ever one is saying hes going to just die ill check on him like every 3-4 days for the first few weeks if he stays that long, also he said if he gets caught or his parents find him some how he is going to say a anonymous friend took him up.
 
Really not a bad idea if he knows what he is doing. Tell him to document everyday. It will make for a good book. Tell him to read and watch INTO THE WILD. The guy does exactly what your friend is going to do. It is a good book.
 
They are going to find him within 3 days. One of the first places they look are those types of cabins. Other hikers will probably report him when they see him crying in the corner cause he is hungry and scared. Hes not going to make it 3 years let alone 1 week.
 
cant blame him for atleast thinking about this, at 15 i always thought about running away and shit, i still want to and plan to live on my own in the woods somewhere for anywhere between 6 months to many years at some point in my life. but i realize it takes serious survival skills, careful planning, and not being 15. im 22 and i dont feel mature enough to do it.

really just let him go, he wont last more than a week, and he will last a week and be fine.

to do this type of thing you cant just move into a known cabin that people will visit. you need to go into the middle of fucking nowhere where people arent going to find you. which also makes it a pain in the ass to bring supplies. it would probably take having an ATV to make trips and use for emergencies. that and i think it would be ideal to have a canvas wall tent, with a wood burning stove for heat. atleast one gun and plenty of ammo is a MUST, you need to be able to defend yourself from animals, and it makes getting food much easier. he also needs to know how to keep and prepare meat, which is hard as shit, probably should have a small generator and like 30 gallons of gas for emergencies. and an entire summer of hard ass work and preparation to get ready for winter. you cant just go live in the wilderness at the start of winter and expect to be fine. you cant do that shit unless your a real fucking man.
 
and on a more serious note, ive done a fair amount of wilderness survival, and i can tell you that even after studying and practicing and experimenting for years how to survive, even a few days can seem like a really really long time alone in the woods, and it gets really tiring having to find your own food every time youre hungry.
 
I want you to go for it, let's see how this pans out, I mean sure, at first his parents will be sad, but think of how happy they'll be when they're. Reunited, quit being so selfish and do it.
 
So you're saying that because one retarded 15 year old will be checking up on an even more retarded 15 year old once or twice a week, everything will be fine? You have got to be trolling, NO ONE is seriously this stupid. If you're not trolling, well, enjoy working at McDonald's for the rest of your life.
 
White people problems.

Can this 15 year old even wield an axe? Can he build a fire? First aid? Cook?

Seriously, I think you're dumber for letting this happen. You kids are fucking 15, if you think the world is tough right now, wait another 5-10 years. High school isn't shit compared to the real world.

You're an idiot and a tool for letting him go through with this. If he's not listening to you, and you're concerned, tell his parents. If you think his 21 year old sister is cool with the idea, you're ever so wrong.

If my sister's friend came up to me and told me that she was going to live in the woods somewhere because high school sucks, I'd tell my parents.

Hate to be a downer, but neither of you have thought through anything at all.
 
Bear Grills has a camera crew, ropes, pulley's, safety harnesses, nice emergency crew standing by and a hot shower whenever he gets dirty or sore. I don't blame you for looking up to him that way, many people make that mistake, but Les Stroud knows what he's doing.

But aside from that how is a 15 year old supposed to survive in the wilderness for 3 years surrounded by 20ft of snow 24/7? How is he supposed to hunt, gather food/wood, and get water? Rely on you to bring him supply's every 2 weeks? Sounds like he doesn't realize he's going to be spending a good 12 hours a day staring at a wall masturbating till he gets off his starving ass to go ski. Not only is the thought of surviving alone absurd but what in the fuck does he plan to do at the end of his little "adventure"? Re-take grade 10 at age 18? Live off his parents for the next 3 years after that till he can get a decent job? This is by far the stupidest thing i have read on NS to date.

If this isn't a troll thread and if this kids goes through with his plan PLEASE update this thread regularly, and i'm sure we would all appreciate more details on what he plans to bring, what he's going to do etc...
 
No you can't get in legal trouble unless the police end up getting involved and you lie. Chances of the police getting involved: Pretty damn high
 
i loved that book when I was a kid! it made me want to get a hatchet and go live in the woods.

and to the OP - come on man, you gotta give us more details! what is he planning on bringing? How does he plan on getting food in the middle of January when it's 5 degrees outside and he's surrounded by 20 feet of snow? what is his plan for dealing with wildlife?

I think this is a fantabulous idea! i mean, at 15 years old he obviously knows everything, so what could go wrong? and i totally understand how much life sucks at 15. parents are fucking ridiculous...wanting you to go to school and do your homework while they pay for your food, shelter, clothing, etc. fucking pricks. obviously living in an unheated cabin with no external support is a much easier life.

i see a future darwin award winner here folks!
 
he's not going to die...he's obviously not really in the wild if the op says he'll check on him every three or four days for the first few weeks. everyone will know where he is within like 5 days of him being there, then his parents will go get his ass and take him home.
 
By wild he probably means the woods a few hundred metres away from his house.

Into The Wild wannabe.
 


OP will end in trouble. At the moment his parents will notice that he isnt there, they will call his friends. If you lie they call cops, and it will take prob half day until they find out whats going on. If you tell the truth, they will go into that bunker and take him home in the morning.
 
Lol do you think he actually does half of that shit? No, he doesn't drink his own piss and no, he doesn't give himself a real enema and no, he probobly doesn't drink from the hump of a camel when he has a camera crew with a case of water standing behind the scenes. It's way to easy to fake shit like that.
 
I think we should have a contest. Whoever lasts the longest in the woods alone with no help from others wins free jiberish.

This thread is nans but I like the concept of dumb kids going in the woods lost and starving to die because they think they're les stroud(yeah bear grylls is a pussy)

But for real I would like to see this happen. I'm almost tempted to do it to provide some entertainment to this thread that's going to ultimately go no where when the supposed "plans" never happen. We need a contest to get this idea off the ground. So a few kids might die in the woods, so what. We'll all learn survival skills and somebody will come out with some dope jiberish, maybe add a season pass in there taboot
 
i wouldn't help him at all, less you want to be blamed by all the parents around you for being an accomplice to his retardation.
 
Now every just hold on a minute, without pics this could either be a 4x4 hut or mansion for all we know. Pics of the cabin please. (This still is a really stupid plan.)
