It all harks back to this fantasy that we have- I used to have it- that we can live off the land, that we can just go back to being wild animals, that if you cut everything off, I would just walk straight into the jungle and be able to survive. I know I'd be dead within a day and a half. Two days.
Ever thought about swapping city life for a bit of rural adventure? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle brings his trademark humor to the concept of urban gardening and the fantasy of living off the land. Boyle dives into the practicalities (or impracticalities) of growing your own food in a tiny apartment, questioning if we could really survive without our modern comforts. Spoiler: most of us probably wouldn't make it past a week.
Boyle doesn’t stop there. He takes listeners on a trip down memory lane, recounting a story about peer pressure and survival during an escapade in the Blue Mountains. His mixed feelings about hunting come to light as he shares anecdotes about his former boss, a pig hunter who looked more like he belonged in the wild than in an office. Despite his reservations, Boyle admits he might be open to trying hunting someday—if only for the experience.
This episode isn't just about gardening and hunting; it's a humorous yet insightful look at the journey to sobriety. Boyle’s reflections are both entertaining and thought-provoking, making you laugh while also making you think. Whether you're interested in self-sufficiency or just need a good chuckle, this episode has something for everyone.
