While I believe in a 'quality of life'...
Hunter-gatherer lifestyles were far from Utopian, and much more laborious than presented. Otherwise we'd have never developed a need for farming & livestock management.
Twenty hours a week to maintain a family, and prepare for seasonal fluctuation of available plant & animal products? No way. How many hunter-gatherers were interviewed for this data?
It takes hard work to create leisure time.
Seems like an ad for welfare to me.
EDIT: I always hate it when parting with friends & acquaintances, and some idiots parting line is "Don't work too hard"! Thats whats wrong with society today. No one wants to work, hard or otherwise.
How can a person prep if their goal is to simply subsist?
Too defeatist for me. Maybe you intended something entirely different with this, if so, I gotta tell ya it comes over as just wrong!
