“The constant doomerism online and the deteriorating social infrastructure offline — it all had put me into a kind of spiritual ketosis. Brushing up on my survival skills felt like one potential answer,” writes @jworthen2020.bsky.social on trying a 10-day survival course in Mexico.

I did a lot of survival training in my tennis/20s and applied it with big backpacking trips when I could.
Then I got injured and later developed even more health problems. Now I need a cane and sometimes a chair to get around.
You need to do a lot of mental work as well, to deal with the things you don't have control over
