living off the land

here's a link dan will appreciate. a student at uc santa barbra set out to live off the suburbs for 80 days. he spear fished and gathered neighbor's fruit and vegetables but (strangely?) avoided dumpster diving in a journal entry writing:

If I had two more weeks here I'd have to reduce myself to the level of an animal, going through garbage bins at night, living in fear and hunger.

personally i find that kind of funny. after seeing the bounty that's left in grocery store dumpsters (people won't buy avocados once they're ripe so they just get thrown out). i'd call sneaking into people's yards to steal their prickly pears on the level of an animal... anyway cool article.
