There are two groups out there in the wild;

The ones sitting in a hole hunched over a tiny fire, filthy and miserable, mumbling "the more you know the less you carry",

And the ones that brought the wife and kids.

If they're filthy and miserable they obviously don't know much ;)
If at first you don't succeed, excessive force is usually the answer.

I have been thinking about this. 'The more you know, the less you need. '

I read an article about the Kalahari Bushmen today. If we, any of us, ventured into that environment, we would need a land rover and trailer full of gear to stay alive. If it ran out, we would be dead.

The Bushmen go in with their basic native tools. And thrive.

They know more, so they need less.
