Problem: How to run away from home and live in the woods
Think it through.
Running away from home should be a last-ditch resort, and never a first choice. Similarly, trying to live in the woods on your own should never be your first choice. OPTIONS:
- The wildlife that lives in the woods should be the last resort. However, being exposed to uncontrolled wildlife might limit your ability to run or to even try to live your life in the wilderness.
- Make sure you have no other options (like calling the police if you live in an abusive situation or going to a homeless shelter instead of the wilderness) before you try to run away and live in the woods. Living in the woods is dangerous, draining, and scary.
- Make a choice, and make a plan of action. Consider the height of the trees around your home.

Answer: Make sure you have no other options (like calling the police if you live in an abusive situation or going to a homeless shelter instead of the wilderness) before you try to run away and live in the woods. Living in the woods is dangerous, draining, and scary.
