the idea of living off the land might sound romantic however reality bites really hard on the rear end. The Learning channel did a documentary drama for several couples re-enact 1900 rural life.

They lost a lot of weight as a result of building the wood cabin.
We aren't equiped mentally to deal with the stress of living off the land.
That's what happens when you take a group of hardcore TV watchers and put them in a situation where they have to do for themselves. There's a lesson in there somewhere....
