This article at Smithsonian.com is fascinating. It’s about about six members of a Russian family who fled into remote Siberia to avoid religious persecution. They lived there for 40 years, surviving on food that they could forage and what little they could grow.
I find this story inspiring. It shows just how adaptable ordinary people can be, and how little little we can live on.

But but but…
How did they ever survive without an arsenal of military-grade weapons? And several tons of canned food? And water filtration systems, and a bug-out plan, and a super-secret highly secure and cozy retreat? And I bet they never spent a single moment obsessing excitedly about TEOTWAWKI, or about WTSHTF. I can’t take these Russian “survivors” seriously.
Incredible. And there must have been others like them, who were perhaps never found or eventually left the forests.
