This essay highlights the day-to-day forest practices that enhanced the forest fugitives’ chances for survival. Weber argues that the fugitives’ survival depended on dual, complementary forces: vitiating former cultural norms whilst learning the forest space from both physical and socio-cultural standpoints. Their survival practices became forms of cultural and social capital which were used as empowerment in the forest environ. This essay is based largely on interviews conducted by the author with surviving ‘forest fugitives’
