it just means I’ll be more capable of surviving.

"more capable" does not mean "capable"

is to just pack up my truck, (...) Then abandon the truck

Can you see the flaw with that plan?

I doubt many or any people will end up anywhere near me in far northern Ontario.

Like I mentioned in the other branch: That is basically the only way that people in Global North communities CAN "live off the wilderness". There are so few people trying that the heavily depopulated forests and lack of farmable land matter less. And even then, most of those people tend to rely on going into town "every so often" for supplies.

But also? if we are actually in an apocalypse, you can bet that more than just you will think about those forests. And some of them will be as trained, if not moreso, than you and won't have abandoned all their supplies in a truck on the side of the road.

The guy you’re replying to is a Native American. He grew up living off the land and knows how to survive, no, thrive, without the supports of agriculture.

Whoa boy, not gonna touch the mysticism and Other bullshit with a ten foot pole.

But unless you already have a good chunk of farmland ready, you aren't going to survive the first winter. That is WHY communities (even the magical Native American ones) are so dependent on having ships and wagons FULL of supplies to survive that first winter because going from normal land to farmland is the better part of a year on its own.

That ALSO ignores that most farms are not actually self sufficient due to a mix of needing to cycle crops to keep the land fertile as well as needing alternative sources of food and energy (often livestock). The Magical Native Americans largely depended on animals like Buffalo and Deer to make up the latter and... yeah. And modern day "live off the land" folk tend to rely pretty heavily on odd jobs (or money from their parents) because actually surviving off foraging and wild animals just isn't feasible outside of VERY few regions. And even those mostly only work because it is one weirdo that the park rangers tend to look the other way for.

If OP has a community of like minded people? It is very doable. If OP is a lone gun nut hiding out in The Wilderness? Whatever level of fairly racist mystic fantasy you can think of won't help.
