Theme of the Week

This week's topic is:

If you were forced to live outdoors for a year, with only yourself to count on for support, could you do it?

Writing an entry for the Theme of the Week is easy! First, write an entry in your diary like you normally would. Make sure that the entry follows the theme - entries that do not follow the theme will have to be removed.

After you have your entry in your diary, come to this page and click the "submit a theme entry" link above. If you don't see the "Submit an Entry" link, it is because your diary is not unlocked - you must first unlock your own diary before submitting a theme entry. After you click "submit a theme entry", the next screen will show you a list of your most recent diary entries. Select the one that is the theme entry and click "Submit" - that's it!

The theme will be changed once a week. If you have a suggestion for a future theme, please feel free to post it on the OD Boards Theme Suggestions thread.

Only having myself to rely on....I'd...

This weeks question, (and short update)
If you were forced to live outdoors for a year, with only yourself to count on for support, could you do it? Today I have to say No! I couldn't do such a thing at my age, 61, in my current physical condition, (sugar and heart issues,) and with my lazy frame of mind. I'm not sure that even at a much younger age and in excellent health I would have been able to do so alone. Until I...

Into The Woods (Theme)
My uncle Alfred has done what this theme question asked. Not only has he lived in the woods for a year, he has lived there for almost 20 years. He owns many acres of land in Cedar Key, Florida. Literally to get from our house in St. Petersburg to his, is go down the interstate for over a hundred miles and take a left(past the second post office not the first) and go 12 miles. I googled Earth his...

Theme of The Week
If you were forced to live outdoors for a year, with only yourself to count on for support, could you do it? Hmm. It's an interesting question, and I think the answer would have to be maybe - but only if I was living in land I'm familiar with. I know some of the local foodplants around my area, such as mookrin, wild native parsnips, which river reeds are edible, how to make wattle...

**this entry is being submitted as my first-ever theme-of-the-week entry for OD--just FYI** "you should never regret anything," i said. "i don't regret anything i've ever done." i remember saying this, when i was fifteen or so. young, full of hope, and anticipating making Some Very Big Mistakes in the Coming Years, i figured i would go ahead and say that nothing worth doing was worth...
