The life of living in the woods, driving down a dirt road all day, never taking whats yours. This is all part of the hick life. Living life to the fullest and showing your true self. In the hick life you can't hide who you are or be embarrassed by the things your friends do around you. Living with the piece of mind that you can do something most people can't, survive off the land and not having to always worry about when the next pay day is. 

           Part of living this way shows someone that you can do whatever you want. You have the mind set to get anything done in life that you want to. Most people over react and flip out when they have nothing left, in this life, you know how to grow your own food, make your own weapons, and live of the land. The skills that come with the hick life prove you can make it anywhere.
           Living this life you are closer to family. Your not always stressing about bills because you can make your own light and heat or use wells for water. You use your own resources and can make your own clothes. If you know what your doing you can kill your own food.
           Living this life shows that you have the mentality to make it anywhere. The strength and mind set a person could have could save them the time and effort of trying to survive with out nothing. You can make any tools you have in this life and you have courage to support yourself.
           Anything you do, you can depend on your friends if you need them. This is when you find out who your real friends are. Part of being a part of the hick life does not mean your always weighed down with worries of not knowing what to do if something happens. You can always have a back up plan, never have to rely on someone to give you money when you run out.
