So a friend of mine.....

My friend who used to be seriously fucked up was fully convincing himself he was going to do this. he didn't..do it man you won't
 
hahahahah no not sam i think he got sent to boyschool though. I got word today the the forest service padlocked the cabin over the summer so now hes thinking of just building a hut which i think is a worse idea than just living out of the other one cause at least the other one had a small wood stove in it.Ill let you guys know if he follows through on sunday.
 
everyone needs to chill the fuck out. maybe this dude knows what hes doing. besides the op nobody knows him yet you all assume hes some sheltered suburbanite.

chances are he doesnt know what hes doing, but that doesnt mean everyone should instantly jump to that conclusion.

this thread is dildos without OP addressing his friends survival skills.
 
"15 year old killed by hobo in the wilderness. Internet-Ski community knew".

I am really scared of the "real" wilderness after watching movies. Meeting killers and hobos in the night, knowing there are 100 miles to nearest gas station.
 
Into the wild is a great book to read to learn exactly what not to do for survival. he didnt bring a detailed map, he would have known there was a river crossing right upstream, like a bucket/pulley thing used by the usgs. Read the "The final frontiersman" for some real stuff. Heimo Korth is the main character basically ditched wisconsin, moved to alaska and started trapping, but did it the right way. found an inuit wife and raised his kids in the bush 100 miles from the nearest person. thats legit.best of luck to this kid though, if he seriously plans it out, who knows, but if he just runs away quickly, theres no real chance
 
If your looking for pics actually look to see if there were pictures posted before you comment asking for pics. And jesus D SHRED start giving us more information on this kids exact plans i'm starting to think troll thread..
 
with all the shit being talked about this kid, including plenty of shit talking from me.

when you are in a survival situation, as long as your not a pussy and can keep a cool head and be mentally strong. you would be amazed what you know how to do, and how much you can accomplish.

that being said, a lot of people are hopeless. like this kid might be. this usually applies to people with a good bit of common sense and the ability to figure things out on their own. which some kids these days are completely incapable of doing. but i dont know this kid so who knows.
 
This isn't the same kind of survival situation though. Sure if he was in a plane crash in the mountains and had no choice but to find shelter, ration what little food he could find and hike out to find civilization, yeah, people can do amazing things when really pushed.

But, in that freezing cold hut in the middle of the night, with an empty stomach and a cold/fever, knowing that he's just a short hike away from his nice warm bed, mommy and a warm bowl of chicken noodle... he'll be home within a few hours of sunrise.
 
ok so i told him its a bad idea to live in the cabin thats already built cause he will get found really easy and he told me... maybe I should just live with my sister till spring then we can go build our own hut and i can live in it year round cause with out the fireplace ill freeze and wont have enough food. I think he is starting to relize how hard its going to be with such little preperation.
 
why doesnt he just wait till he is 16 and can legally drop out of school. then he can live in his house still and ski everyday

 
Please personally tell him that I, Dexter Wahlberg, new he would bitch out the whole time. He wont build a cabin in the spring and he'll never live by himself in the wilderness.
 
every moment that's he's been thinking of how to make this work has been a waste. it's a stupid idea, and even if he found a viable hut, he wouldn't have the gall to stay the first night.
 
Thread = letdown. Probably a good thing, but this could have been a positive learning experience for him potentially. LOL @ building own cabin. Does he have any idea how IMPOSSIBLE that is without a horse or mule to drag the logs? First he has to cut them to length, and they have to be the appropriate type of tree. Then he has to limb them. Now he needs to de-bark them. Next they need to be dragged into position (these will weight several hundred pounds each). He now needs to notch them so that they will nest together correctly. This will take a LOT of logs. Next comes the chinking of the cracks, using a mixture of bark, stones, and daub. Does he know how to make daub, or a similar substitute? Hint: the horse helps with this. Next comes to roof. Raising a roof by oneself is nearly impossible, even if one has a complete set of pulleys and lots of rope. Next up: a chimney! Time to find lots and lots of flagstones and other rocks. What is he going to use to keep this together? Hint: different from daub. Without a proper chimney, if he has a fire he will either burn down the cabin or die of co2 poisoning. (possible both in one shot) OK, he has somehow managed all of this. Time for a door. How is he going to cut through the sides of the cabin he built, and fasten a door? What about a window? I guess he could skip the window and be ok, but it will be gloomy and very dark. Maybe he is a candlemaker and this won't be a problem.

Oh, did he find a level spot? Did he properly prepare the area for building beforehand? Did he manage to cut all these trees, prepare a building site, and have smoky fires without being noticed by authorities? After all, it is illegal to build a structure on public land, illegal to cut trees (living or dead) on public land, and can sometimes be illegal to even have a fire on public land. Haha, kid is clueless. I'm sure he doesn't know the answer to a single one of these questions. Unfortunately to survive a winter he will need to correctly answer each and every one of these questions, not just in theory but in practice. So yeah, I guess living with his sister might be just a little bit easier.
 
Tell him to do it. Either you or "your friend" need to live somewhere for at least a week to make this thread legit.

Or at least continue on the bullshit story lines you started with. If your writing doesn't properly amuse me I'll fucking drop your karma so fast
 
HAhahahahahahhahahhaha thais kid has no chance. But if this thread does go anywhere threads. I hope he tries it because we all know it will be a really funny story to read about. Then it will be sad when it gets to the part where he dies because of the cold or hunger, or thirst.
 
I'm 16 and almost an eagle scout... To be honest I could live in the wilderness by myself pretty easily, plus he's living in a hut, with a fireplace i'm assuming.
 
Seriously with a title of so a friend of mine do you not think i would know that he is talking about his friend doing something. My post makes perfect sense in relation to the op its just a little ambiguous as i used he instead of his friend for shortness in typing.
 
If your friend follows through on this plan, I would check up on him every week or so, just in case if he needs help/ company/ or maybe plans on returning early. Just be there for him because living in the woods at 15, he could need some help i would assume.
 
Translation:

so a friend of mine is planning to camp in his backyard for the weekend (till he gets cold) in a tent that his mom got him from REI. He plans on leaving in the morning before his parents wake up and just leaving a note saying he's in the backyard and pancakes would be great when they wake up. Another one of my friends is helping him set up the tent and run an extension cord from the house so he can plug in his space heater, lights and easy bake oven, i was thinking about helping pack stuff also like Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese, maybe some smelling salts. I'm dumb so i was wondering if i could get in any real trouble for this? and what do you guys think about his plan?
