So, you're ready to be human. Not a consumer, not a worker-bee. A HOOMAN. Good. ...Here's what you're going to do.

Find a nice place in the woods, far away from settlements, with running water, some place pure. Use your local library to find some maps, or find an outdoor store with some USGS maps (the best maps, btw). Make sure there's a place that's at least 5 miles to your destination. 10miles might be better though. You're going to need a backpack.

Once you've picked your spot, your going to go out to it. You're not going to camp yet. You are going to re-acclimitize yourself to what it's like to be real. To have a sense of reality and what matters. I'm going to make it a lot easier for you: go get a backpack at a place that knows how to fit them for people. A perfectly fitted and loaded backpack has nearly ZERO weight on the shoulders.

Pack your bag with some food and water and go out for a day, and then do this: go back again but this time for a 2-day stay. The point of it is to find what you missed bringing with you and next time include it in your inventory (OR what you didn't need and get rid of it). Then, go out for a 3-day stay. Each time increasing by 1 day until you get to 10 days. You're going to include and reject what you bring, until you perfect what you truly need. If your inventory was wrong (maybe it rained on you and your forgot rain gear), then start back without increasing the number of days.

When you are in harmony with Earth (aka: REALITY), you won't worry about water purification, 6-packs of beer, giant raingear and such. You will be honed into a partner of nature. Until your backpack is an extension of your own body that you miss when you're not wearing it.

At some point, you should arrive at a special spot where you have "arrived", that you have been seeking without knowing it your whole life. You're life will be in balance, harmony, free. You'll be wanting to follow the PLAN at that point, mate.
