Life was short due to a number of reasons, but large amounts of natural resources would have a group foraging or hunting 20 hours a week for food. Indians come to mind. Villages around the Amazon do as well. If I recall, the film 'Jungle 2 Jungle' was shot on location, and the villagers didn't seem plagued by death, famine, or incredible workloads.Heck, if you compare the 1800's indians were living better off than the beggars found in 'civilized' society until diseases and reduction of resources took its toll (much of which being deliberately created situations). Now thrown in magic. Could you imagine how well they would have survived if several of their numbers were druids? It was as recently as ten years ago that villages in the Amazon region had members in better health and states of cleanliness than those small villages relying on supplies for industrial areas.Given this, I don't see elves having a problem surviving in a well forested area.</blockquote>
