I grew up in the Australian country hunting and fishing and small scale farming. I’m probably part of 1-2% who could live self-sustainably off the land in Australia.
Do I want to hide and live isolated living off rabbits and roos and lizards and birds and shitty vegetable crops in a wood shack with no contact to the outside world? No.
Would my missus join me? No, she’s a city girl and wouldn’t make it.
If we’re talking WWIII and Australia is invaded and I don’t have time to leave and just need to go survive well yeah I’ll last longer than most and could probably keep her alive.
But I have no intention of living that life and I reckon you could count on one hand the number of people who will read this article, grok it, and be willing to go bush whilst it plays out to make your statement true.
Heh, that's why you get a boat instead of being the group running out west. 😂
Though you'd be surprised how many are.
Though you'd have to be nuts to try that in the southern states & a good chunk of the north too.
Just FYI, people's subjective wants have nothing to do with it being true or false, one doesn't have to agree with a fact for it to be one.
