Wholeheartedly agree. The only thing I'd add is that I think it's in theoretical discussions that we underestimate how much a wild animal's life sucks shit. In the US at least there's enough forest that if a person wanted to get lost and be totally self-reliant they could take an honest shot at it.

And this coming from a person who prides himself on being "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."
