Perhaps we don’t anymore? Not for most of us anyway. In a sense we too are domesticated and brought up in captivity.

Even if we knew how to survive. Between private property, most wildlife being eradicated, the rest being protected, loss of natural ecosystems to farmland (private property) and ranch land (private property), commercial fishing reducing the abundance of fish available, other areas being protected from fishing, rivers being dammed up or polluted, water tables dropping due to the pumping of ground water, and our sheer numbers. Perhaps Living like hunter gatherers is no longer a choice available to us. It is either live as we do now, or perish. I know that is how it would be for me.

It's a sobering thought.

We don't and we haven't for thousands of years since farming and the states, empires, and concept of ownership which sprung up as a result of that. It's almost impossible to be a hunter gatherer anymore... and those who still choose to practice this sort of life style are far an between and often prey to other actors who exploit the fact that they have little representation in modern society.
