On a less sarcastic note, yes.

There was a book about a real person who did this.  It was called Into the Wild, I think.

He died.

I'd want to get away from it all some days, but I'd rather be a tropical island.

Then I think that I'd either end up like Tom Hanks screaming for a volleyball, or be trapped on this island with evil megalomaniac bent on doing the world harm.

Either that or I'd become a monk just so I could live in those monasteries that are halfway up impossible cliffs and rock outcrops.

First ten minutes of play I ate my loincloth and then got some limbs torn off by a super friendly rat. Thumbs up from me.

It sounds fun when I'm sitting in my comfy chair. Having been camping before, I could hack it, maybe, but I'm not sure what I'd achieve.

But should I get stranded in the Canadian wilderness then shit gets serious. And it's my time to shine.

Yes, I've read Hatchet. Why do you ask?

Dude has issues when it comes to moose.

Of all the things to kick his ass, it was a moose. A cow moose.

You know there's little stopping you from bouncing off into the cascade range for the hell of it- well, if you're close. I live a nice distance between the city and the veritable wilderness, so I like to get out there every once in a while.

Well I do feel like adventuring into the wilds, but not actually go out and live in the wilds.

Why so? If it's to get away from people, hunting (or other wilderness activity) is a good way to get away from people without stagnating and becoming a basement creature.

I'd like that. I tried doing the same out the back of our property, but I almost died of thirst and starvation.

Yeah... Canada is a better choice.

Also hurricane.

Anyway, when I say I could hack it, I'd probably just barely survive out there and not have much fun at all. However, I really want to try hunting. It sounds like bucketloads of fun, especially considering the rugged beauty of American and Canadian wilderness.

Plus they have less stuff to kill you than Australia.

Wait... More big fatal stuff, less little fatal stuff.

And they have Sqrls. Though I'd have trouble shooting them if I wasn't really really hungry.
Also, I want to try the bigger guns in canada. Woo.

Sure, but that doesn't make America any more dangerous than Australia.

We have crocs, though I'd rather not get into an argument about if a bear would win against a croc (it wouldn't IT WOULD DIE RATHER UNPLEASANTLY).

Also, small stuff can kill you without warning.

Why do we live here Tack?
