Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I have been told that in tropical places there is an abundance of food, so over there is ideal, but there's also mosquitos and disease and it's not an environment i'm familiar with.

Probably somewhere really remote but near to human settlement - easier to get casual work, hopefully?? Because less available workforce?

The sensible answer is probably "somewhere with good social safety net' like The Neterpherlands or Sweden.

And if we think "wilderness survival" situation, the only answer for me would be somewhere temperate or sub arctic because those are the environments i'm familiar with; europe woukd be nice, but is there anywhere truly remote there?

Yea I was thinking something like Lake Malawi honestly. But yea, in the case of being able to make contact with local people and be like "Hey I have absolutely nothing what can I do to help?" would probably be Zürich Switzerland, in which case I'd get deported back to the United States. 😂
