Living off the land

This is one of the things I'd like to do. Anyone tried it?

Bring a knife and other basic survival stuff. Head out into the wilderness and survive by setting snares, picking berries, fishing. No shave, no haircuts, no showers. No comfort.

Be primitive. Primal. Get in touch with my savage self.

Return to society and appreciate all the things I took for granted more than ever before. Be familiar with my own limits and capabilities. I'd probably want to stay out there for about a month, unless I failed miserably and ran out of food.

I'd go in a cold area I think. I'm from a cold country and had military training in it, so it would be familiar. Water wouldn't really be an issue. And no poisonous creepers to kill me in my sleep. I imagine the sense of adventure and independence would be incredible.
