...and I look down at the ground and see the many dried berries that have fallen from the trees around me during my frozen two days out here at the river and give one a try. It tastes quite fruity at first... I could eat these... and then gives a bitter aftertaste following. I could probably fair the same as Mr. Proenneke living off of what the land around me provides, but it would be bittersweet - the enjoyment of living on only what the land provides and the struggle to survive on and enjoy from what only the land provides. I truly love this place and I think I could live here eating these berries and some fish I catch every now and then from the river... and maybe harvesting some meat from a deer or two that ventures along this way. ...and if a WalMart happens to open up within a few miles of here or so... yep, I could surely live here for sure.
