>LIFE IS SO HARD!
Is there any more bullshit story than this? I live in the middle of nowhere so I get to see animals out almost daily. But when do I definitely not see them? In the middle of a storm. You know what they do? The bald eagles are over the river at dusk before the storm getting a nice feast into them, then they sleep out the storm. Three days later they get up at dawn and go fishing again.
Just like the coyotes are nice and cuddled up in their den after killing a deer and celebrating like monkeys.
Fucking bears graze the blueberries and wild cherries for most of the day in the fall. A fucking natural harvest without having to plant a thing. Then they sleep for 4 or 5 months. It's like the Land of fucking Cockaigne.
But no
>LIFE IS SOMETHING LIKE ENDLESS ENDURING UNENDURABLE PAIN AND SUFFERING!
Fuck off. It's only you insufferable stupid cunts who are like this.
If I see someone out in the pouring rain it is some autistic retard boomer who just has to get things done. Humans trudge through the mud and muck because they're insufferable parasites who just want to drag others down with them.
No, you're not going to drop that bread in the mucky forest path because of some greater path to Virtue and Good, you are not a sacrifice to pain and the rightful turning of the world, you are just such a selfish unthinking cunt that you wanted to get stuck in the mud so that all your family and neighbours would go out and get fucked too.
An owl is going to swoop down from a tree, steal the bread, and go back to sleeping in its shelter after a good free snack. Meanwhile all your neighbours are going to get the mud flu ad spread it to surrounding villages because of your inconsiderate ass.

>Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Dying In The Rain Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Step Under The Eaves Like Nigga You Can Survive Three Days Without Water And God Is Giving You A Golden Shower Haha

But no, we'll build a goddamn worldwide fucking floating parking lot and snort animal dung for eternity because of a little bit of fucking rain. You autistic fucking niggers.

Life isn't that hard. Noah was a fucking warning not a moral law to relieve you of your stupidity. Prepare your shit. Have a stock of food. Take a sip and then a nap if it's raining. The animals can take care of themselves. Fucking take a shower. Your penis washes itself if you stand in the windy rain.

But no we'll just piss into the dry wind until there is no rain that hasn't been tainted.

Fucking retards.

Read the best. The grandfather of bushcraft.

"Credo:
The bush is neutral. It is neither for nor against me. My comfort depends on what I can do for myself and how much I know about using the bush materials around me.
Becoming angry, depressed or unhappy does little to help me in my situation. I will try to think positive thoughts and find ways to be thankful for what I have. When I am not sure of what to do I will stop, relax and think out the situation before I act.
I realize moving about when I do not know where I am or where I am going will make it more difficult for others to find me.
My concern at this moment is to make myself comfortable for tonight. I shall shelter myself from wind, rain or snow and build a fire to warm up.
I will not let fear or panic rule my mind as this only works against me. The bush is inert. It is incapable of doing me harm."

This is what the world's foremost expert on living in nature says. Very stoic.
There are really only three rules in life:
1. Never trust a man who doesn't drink.
2. Never trust a man who's never been to the woods.
3. Never trust a man who is not prepared to die.
These are good rules because they are as applicable to the highest philosophical thought as they are to simple everyday life.

This pretty much. Unless you have a father who raises you in the most ancient sense possible then all you will get from Starting with the Greeks is a distortion of them. People today don't think anything like the Greeks, and even approaching their way of thinking is no easy task. This is proven by all the professional philosophers who continue to distort them even after studying them for many years.
Starting with the easier Plato works is good advice though. The logic is simple, and the method is one of revealing, which you should then use to work through both what you need to learn and what you are interested in.
One should see it as being lost in the forest, Starting with the _____ is one destination, and the ideal philosophy that you wish to understand is your home. Thinking of these places may increase your morale, or destroy it. But in either case there are simple measures, steps, and basic needs you must meet first, before setting out on your journey. It may even be best to wait to be saved, it all depends on the situation.

In other words, build a fire before anything else, avoid the wind and rain, construct a shelter/gather the resources you need, do not waste your energy, be prepared to defend against predators, realise that if you sense that nature is against you then you are already defeated, and be decisive in setting out for your destination or holding out to survive.

I suppose that is a Start with the Primitivists/Survivalists formula, but obviously I don't mean it literally. Schopenhauer's advice is perhaps similar, although it can be difficult to make these choices when learning on your own.

If you want my advice, buy wine and seeds.

This is even more true if you live in the boreal or even mixed forests. If you need more than this then you should watch his youtube recommendation of the best books.
His advice is based on years of practical experience. Watch how easily he puts together this shelter, which isn't much like the images you see for a shelter which might get you through a night or two:

Check out his book collection:

Cody Lundin's books are very good, although they have a goofy humour and hippie vibe to them. But he was a student of Kochanski, and the adaptation of Kochanski's philosophy to the desert just shows how correct it is.
