Survive entirely on what you can grow, forage, hunt, or barter without purchasing anything from stores for a full month. This extreme self-sufficiency test requires extensive planning for shelter, water purification, and food production while teaching profound lessons about modern dependencies. Start in late spring for the best growing conditions and have emergency backup plans for safety.
