Do i have the skills required to do so? Yes

Would it actually be possible? No

Not unless 99.9% of the population of the earth died or went away in the process.

I live on an island, I could fish and hunt here, I could grow vegies/fruit etc and easily live if everyone else went poof over night.

But the reality is that if civ ended, there are 7 billion people on this planet that require technology and civilization to get food and water and they would spread like locusts across the land, eating everything and everyone in their way, despoiling all water sources, causing massive fires etc.

So yeah, I could totally move to say Alaska right now and survive (though the super cold weather there would make it harder than most places, I could still do it. I lived in Putney Vermont 40 years ago in the middle of 50 acres of wood, in a cabin made out of hay lol. I could handle living in Alaska.

But even Alaska would not be safe from the hoards, so yeah, maybe if covid mutates and wipes out almost everyone (at least 99%)...there might be a chance for us to live off the land afterwards.
