It's not easy to move out of our comfort zones but has anyone thought of going into the wilderness to live like a hermit?

Though I enjoy some days of peace and quiet, I'd not be able to go into the wilderness and live away from the comfort of modern life and human beings! I'm too used to having the TV, internet, dvds, and whatever facilities offered by modern technology, it's difficult to live without all these!

I definitely agree.With the advent of modern technology, life just wouldn't be the same if I go out to the wilderness without my trusty phone.

i don;t think so, this is an honest to goodness answer. frankly, if i were a destitute living in streets, i'd be more than willing to go in the wilderness and be a hermit. but being used to all the technology and advancement that surrounds me: laptop, computer, TV, mobile phones, vehicles, shopping mall, fast food joints, the list goes on. i just cant leave all of these behind and live as a recluse--- well, that is, if i didn't do anything embarrassing that would dictate me to go on hiding o_0

Oh, me too. It would entail so much sacrifice to leave behind what we're used to. I don't think I can leave my cellphone and laptop behind and hunt for berries and wild animals.For a few days I can but not for a lifetime.
