Plus the clothes on his back, that dagger, and probably a good axe. Maybe a bow and arrows, or maybe you make those. That's what you've got. You could, after quite some time (months or years) manage to set yourself up quite nicely, with a little cabin, several sets of buckskin clothing, and wooden furniture. Perhaps even candles. You could not have those things after a few weeks in the wild. There's just no way a man on his own could come close to having a "Comfortable" living in the wilderness in that period of time. Frankly I wouldn't consider him at that level of wealth even with that cabin, etc. Modest, maybe. "You don't go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are clean, if simple." That sounds like the pioneer life to me. Bears don't have fleas? I find that doubtful.I think I've found either a typo or an error. The book says that you can live off of your skills in the city and live in poverty, or in the woods as a well-off person. That seems just exactly backwards to me. Very few primitive tribes would be considered "well off" compared to a medieval artisan, in terms of material wealth.Yes, that's about right. Now look at the descriptions in the PHB and tell me which level of wealth that sounds most like. No permanent shelter, only the clothes on your back, undependable food supply (those snares and bow may or may not pay off, and while fish are a better bet, a fish-only diet, supplemented by berries and nuts (if they happen to be in season) does not sound like wealth to me.Right, that's true. Plus, unless you have the right materials, getting set up takes a couple of days. My point there was mainly that someone with no wilderness proficiency shouldn't even be at a Poor status.</blockquote>
