Imagine yourself sentenced to a place where you had to manufacture your own entertainment. That means no electronic devices of any kind. Movement is unrestricted so you may just wander off into the wilds and disappear. How long could you hold out otherwise?
This is definitely a good question.
Yes, I've been in such scenarios before. The longest was roughly 3 months tenting deep in the wilds of the state forest with no support other than supply drops. Ate a lot of fish with rice and beans, and requisitioned far more whiskey than I anticipated consuming, which was fortunate because I ended up drinking it all anyway.
Your entertainment basically boils down to books, alcohol and other mind altering sunstances. Of course, if you have the option, human companionship has its merits... storytelling, music and farting competitions around the fire are all standard fare. A chess board is worth it's weight in 1963 Chateau Lafite Rothschild.
Chores are not entertainment in and of themselves, though they are useful for keeping at bay that dreaded specter of boredom which stalks us all. Speaking of which, go chop some wood you lazy fucker.
