Surely we understand what the living conditions were 'back in the days' -- way back in the days. It was pretty much the norm to live off the land; they even had clothing, crude clothing maybe, but evolution was a good teacher and people learned about diseases and resulting deaths.
To each their own, I personally could care less how these airheads want to live, like Neanderthals and thumb their dirty fingers at society. What are they out to prove by the way they buck society by making a statement? of what? A local "Naked and Afraid" episode maybe.
Just don't procreate and bring innocent babies into this disgusting scenario. Let them over 18 live in filth and degradation. This is a civilized society (for the most part) and there IS a Dept. for Children's Protective Services; and if there is a child living in that filth, he/she should be removed.
Do these forest dwellers have parents of their own? I pity them the anguish of how their offspring live. And please, spare me the definition of breeding and procreating.
you're a dumb ***** and should keep your mouth shut and out of peoples business. you social terrorist

Reason: Personal Attack
Shelton Laurel, in Madison Co. not near much of anywhere.
I was curious about this, so I did a little digging. The Wild Roots community is (was?) located in Swannanoa, NC, just east of Asheville, but in a remote forested mountain cove.
However, their website no longer exists, and all I could find was a Facebook page, which says nothing about any kind of community living there. I also found an airbnb entry under the name Wildroots, which seems to be advertising a tiny home which is NOT off-grid and is quite modern with many amenities. The location is indeed in the same cove in Swannanoa, so there must be some connection -- but has none of the primitive, off-gridness of the original community. If they still exist, they sure are keeping it a secret. Perhaps the owner of the property sold or they disbanded? I'd love to find out!
