That's a life I always wanted, go camp and go hunting. An outdoor life, but because of my obligation as father of two, I can't afford quality time for myself. I get caught in a rat race to survive these lifestyle of high cost of living.

When I first started camping and spending time in the outdoors I had almost none of the right equipment and it was the need to innovate, think laterally and be self-reliant that attracted me to it. These days, well I have some equipment.
Australia is a costly country in which to live but I work hard to support my standard of living, am careful with what I buy, go without to have what I need, look after my things, repair rather than replace and buy for quality which means I have to buy less often. I don't have the ability to simply see something I want and go get it, I have to think it through and I'm happy with that.
Hopefully you manage to get yourself out into the outdoors; it costs nothing to go for a hike so I think that'll be a good place to start.
Yes, hiking is a good way start my outdoor life. Foraging tools for fishing and hunting small game using indigenous traps might be a good start too.
Yep, that's the way to do it. I used to make a lot of my own stuff, pick up things that people threw away, go to yard sales and second hand stores which...anything to get me out into the outdoors. Now, well I have some pretty good gear and equipment, but I still never waste anything and treat everything as if it's irreplaceable. It's a good habit I think.
If you try hard enough you'll be able to work out a few ways to fish and hunt, snare and trap...it just takes some research, imagination and effort.
Good luck.
Thank you for the advice.
