California country, that is. I work in Sacramento but live in the rural outskirts. You could say I am a quasi-survivalist, a half-hearted recycler. We do not live 100% off the land but the Mr. hunts and we fish for our food, subsist on well water and a wood stove, which translates to cutting and stacking your own firewood. I plant and can the summer garden bounty. Living off the land is a great ideal, but the reality is you sacrifice time and effort for that lifestyle.
