In principle, absolutely. I've always wondered what it would be like to live a really minimalistic lifestyle. I'd love to try it both to test myself and to see what life is/was like for those who actually live(d) that way.

In reality, I think my biggest problem would be getting bored. If it was a real life or death situation, I think I would be too worried about actually surviving to get too bored, but knowing that I was doing it by choice and that I'd be getting picked up in a year, I feel like I might just be sitting and waiting for a helicopter the whole time. Obviously living on a pine needle mattress would take some adjusting to, but I think the physical conditions would be easier to make up for in the long run than the mental aspect of being alone of a desert island with nothing to do.
