Why? Materially, would you be worse off than you are today?

Hunter/Gatherer-stuff for me. I am an aboriginal Canadian, and as such already have learned basic hunting, trapping and gathering skills. I'm terrible with plants and leafy-type things, and I'm allergic to some fur-bearing animals, so horticultural and pastoral aren't my cup of tea, and early industrial societies had a nasty, nasty little problem with sanitation and saftey conditions, and gave rise to awful epidemics, which I'm also not keen on.

As for my material situation, yeah, I think I would find myself worse off than I am today. I'm a product of the culture that I was raised in, and that culture is highly dependent on rapid developments in technologies. I'd miss all the beautiful music!

Hunter-Gatherer- People would be more responsible for themselves and also be more important to the society. I'd probably be somewhat worse off materially, but contentment has more importance to me.

Pastoral. I do not consider pastoral material things. I consider it the beauty of the earth.

A society where you live simply, grow your own food, have a few friends and enjoy the woods, lakes and surroundings with out having to kill anything.

Anything but early industrial.

Why? I've not experienced it, and would like to.
