[Poland][24M][November '23] Looking for a companion for a wilderness excursion to Patagonia

Hello everyone!

TLDR: I plan a wilderness excursion to Patagonia. I love living in the wild, hunting and gathering for food, being free in general. I would love to find a few like-minded people to join me this November (start of southern hemisphere summer) for a trip up to several months long. We'd stay in the wilderness, hunt and fish for food as much as we can, hike, see places, have fun. I've got enough resources to make sure we are ok, but you need enough for a flight ticket and your basic gear. If this rings a bell, DM me.

My name is Jarosław (Jarek) Wątroba, I'm 24 yo from Poland, I consider myself a green anarchist, at least at heart... I love my freedom to roam, thrill of the chase and the rest of my animal instincts. And my goal is to embrace them all as that's the simplest path to hapiness in life as evidenced by all of human (pre)history and contemporary hunter gatherers like the Hadza of Tanzania. If you're not familiar with the topic, the norm for human life prevalent during basically all of our existence is to live in small egalitarian bands of like a dozen people without any form of institutional power or hierarchy, living in the present, without debt or obligations, hunting and gathering following the seasons. No point going into details right here, but if you're up for it, I attach a small reading, so that you know why I am the way I am.

I have significant outdoor experience having tried this on several occasions in Northern Lapland (2 times for 1 month), Alaska (3 months, things I built with friends there are even featured on one Discovery show, xd) and most lately with the actual Hadza tribe in Tanzania. You can see in my post history, last time I posted a year ago here, I didn't find anyone and ended up going alone to Tanzania from workaway. (Very) long story short, I managed to learn Swahili enough to spend multiple weeks living with the Hadza hunter gatherers on my own. They are amazing, everything they write anout them is true and I know how shit's supposed to work now. ;-)

For a lot of practical reasons, I want to go to the mountains of southern Patagonia and spend several months there, living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, with a serious possibility of staying indefinitely. I have full support of everyone around me. I'm set to leave in October/November. I will go no matter what, I take this seriously, I have a strong safety net in case of emergencies that could extend to you if you choose to join me. I will try to get a group of 4 people if I can.

Good things: sleeping under the stars, freedom (hopefully also from the state power), hunting-gathering, thrill of the chase, amazing mountains, volcanoes and nature, guitar music and campfire, no -40 below winter (that's my favorite!).

Bad things: possibility certainty of nasty weather, dangerous mountains, wet & cold, but not freezing, hard terrain, significant distances, failure to catch food (fish probably most dependable), hunger (going a day or two without food should be nothing for you).

That's it for words of encouragment, looking forward to hearing from you.

Does anybody know where I can buy/watch/stream 1952 West German movie, "Toxi?"

Wikipedia:

Toxi is a 1952 West German drama film directed by Robert A. Stemmle and starring Elfie Fiegert, Paul Bildt and Johanna Hofer. The film's release came as the first wave of children born to black Allied servicemen and white German mothers entered school. It was shot at the Wandsbek Studios in Hamburg.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Looking for a buddy or two to come along my first adventure

Currently living in sweden waiting for my paycheck. I’ve decided on may 26 I will leave this country to start a new life if not a new adventure and was wondering if anyone who is also planning or thinking of leaving wants to go along and travel together.

I have no plan except I want to make it to south east Asia or Spain and I have a budget of roughly 2000 usd.

I figure it would be more fun which would make it more easy with some company and great opportunity for making friends. If you’re down HMU

[Germany] I want to restart, but I'm terrified

Disclaimer: I have a lot to unpack, and I'm inexperienced.

Hi, I'm torn. I yearn to just drop everything and restart. As its warming up, and my eviction draws closer, I'm considering just letting everything I have go, but I'm scared.

My dream is to become a goldsmith, and I've been doing my best trying to achieve that, but I'm starting to realize that its financially impossible for me. Life is cornering me and I need to break out if this.

I'm scared of losing my current partner by leaving him behind, as I know he wont join me. At the same time, I fear that I may never have an opportunity to restart like this again.

The final thing keeping me from committing, is the fact that I'm alone, and despite me knowing what to do in theory, I don't think I can do this myself. I hope this reaches one of you who is willing to take me along, and show me how I can live again.

I need to leave by April. Feel free to DM me, I will answer openly.

Want to get from Rotterdam to Britain.

I was at the Southampton boat show last weekend and wandered aboard a tall ship there. The captain offered me working passage to Rotterdam and now I'm here wandering around with not much money, trying to find a way back to Britain. (It's not all bad - I'm really enjoying myself). Does anyone have any suggestions? I kind of want to see if I can work my passage back on a ship but I don't know if there are regulations about ship hitching. And I'm not sure how easy hitchhiking is now, what with COVID and everything.

Looking for trainsurfing duo

Hellooo, I don't know anyone equally crackers to do this with, so I'll just give this a pointless whirl: I'm looking for a like-minded someone my age who'd be down to go train surfing from Berlin, Germany. I'm starting my studies in mid-October, and I'd like to get a bit of a whiff of true freedom before I willingly become a slave to corona uni for the next couple of years. I don't care where to, and preferably not too long. About me: Very zen, positive company, 17-year-old lad, native speaker of English, German and French, and I do know a tad bit of absolutely flawless school-Spanish. Shoot me a message, should I have piqued your interest.

How do y'all tend to get around if freight hopping isn't a possibility in europe?

Obviously there is is hitchhiking but I guess that isn't for those who want to be solitary and stealth.
