Your question says "forever". You may be able to "rewild" for a time, but with the current state of the earth you can not escape to the wild, have a family, children & grandchildren, the support of a tribe, etc. outside of civilization. You have been assimilated, resistance is futile. (StarTrek Borg)

I tried for 30 years. Did not even get 10%.

Ouch.

Pastured trumps fertility by a long shot.

I use it to build even better health and live longer. Learn about nutrition and do more exercise.

I help with community gardens (focusing on schools), teaching people to grow nutritious food. My goals are to start a grass based farm operation. Or to facilitate others to do grass based farming and ranching.

It is a spiritual as well as physical endevor. Feels good.

You can get a wealth of information on local internal and external parasites, plus literature on raising animals at your county agricultural extension service.

I moved to the country and purchased 40 acres about 20 years ago. Lived off the land for 10 years. Raised rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, and a 4-h hog project.

The biggest challenge is parasites in the animals. Sheep, goats, cattle, etc have to have their pasture rotated so they don't return to the same spot for about 6 months. This interrupts the life cycle of parasites. Neighbors coming home would find their livestock lying dead in the pasture from parasites. You have to pump them full of poisons to keep them alive if you don't have enough land to make paddoks for rotation. Even the cats & dogs need yearly doses of poisons if they live ouside. Even my rabbits started dying and they were living in wire cages suspended above the floor. I did not disinfect them enough.

Please do some research & don't just rush out & buy some animals & stick them in a pen.

We evolved the ability to metabolize alcohol back when we were forest dwelling fructarians. It was available in limited quantities and did not harm those who had the genes. It was an evolutionary advantage to gorge ourselves on ripe fruit when it becanme available to store as fat & get us through the lean times.

The danger is that it is addictive. We still have a tendancy to gorge ouselves and there are no lean times. Combine this with the marketing efforts of the alcoholic beverage industry and our unlimited ability to purchase (in the short term) and it's a recipe for alcoholism. There is no medical cure for alcoholism.

It is a progressive disease. Be cautious.

If you are not an alcoholic small amounts of alcoholic beverages can be beneficial, especially ones with bioflavinoids like red wine. It would be even better to consume fermented fruit.

You know if you are an alcoholic if you drink when you did not want to; or if you take a drink and can not stop.

There is a lot of breeding going on right now to develop animals that are better suited to fending for themselves in natural conditions. Smaller size, able to survive on pasture only, heat & cold resistance, foraging ability, birthing ease, etc.

Usually this means reverting to "heirloom" species that did just fine for thousands of years before agribusiness changed to animals that could survive indoors in factories or in feedlots on grains and waste products.

Go to the website Eatwild.com. They have links to grassfed producers in your area and/or stores that sell. I drive a hour once a month and stock up. The Amish types do this but don't advertise. Keep asking around for connections.

Learn how to dry meat at low temperature. It will last for months. Pemmican.

Eat lots of raw fruits and veggies while you travel. Raw eggs in a smoothie will give you the power if you can take a blender.

Eat lots of raw meat before you go & eat lots when you return. This can actually be beneficial to the body. It is what was natural paleo.

These fish parasites are specific to fish. Most fish have them. They require an aquatic environment and fish flesh to survive.

You are not a fish and you do not live in the water. We are mammals. We have our own parasites.

Be cautious eating raw mammal flesh especially species that are scavengers like hogs. Don't eat mammal feces or raw intestines. Or high meat.

You can safely eat the fish. Above all do NOT throw it out. Package it carefully and send it overnight express to me.

Yum.

Stalking The Wild Asparagus - Euel Gibbons

Substitute time for money. Plant a garden and fruit trees. Raise rabbits, ducks, chickens. Forage in the wild. I've lived on $5 a week.

I have my butcher grind grass fed heart at $1 per pound into the ground beef. I eat grass-fed liver at $1/lb twice a week. I was able to find a butcher that also does slaughter. He sells scrap to a wholesaler for almost nothing & sometimes has to pay to have it picked up. I negotiate for marrow bones, heart, liver, feet for soup, brains, suet, etc. I plan to contact the area venison processors.

Take up the sports of hunting and fishing. You can get on a list to be called for venison road kill pickup, it's free. Lean how to skin and butcher an animal. Very Paleo.

Not only did our Paleo ancestors have superior nutrition, they also got superior exercise hunting and gathering. Both are mandatory for optimal health.

You will actually save money with lower health care costs and won't need to join a gym.

Getting out of the city helps a lot. Even in the city you can convert a yard to a garden. Or join a community garden.

Barter goods or labor with farmers. They love it. Saves taxes. Many are desperate for help during the growing and harvesting seasons.

Pigeons are called "Squab" and sell at high prices in upscale restaurants.

With a little planning raw paleo food can be faster than fast food. And mush less expensive.

I love a juicy seared raw beef burger with lettuce & tomato, carrot sticks, and a fruit smoothie. Yum.

We can all have progress but never perfection.
