This is an all or nothing campaign: if we don't hit the goal we don't get the funding. We're 91% of the way there with just three days to go! Spread the word, share the campaign, and help us cross the threshold! www.kickstarter.com/projects/vil...

How #hierarchy forms and gets stuck in a feedback loop is something that many people have a hard time grasping. Today I’m speaking with @lukekemp.bsky.social, author of the book #goliathscurse. www.patreon.com/posts/hierar...

It’s pretty amazing how little the average person knows about #human #history. It’s not taught in most schools, and unless you major in #anthropology you may never come across the information.

I’ve always been passionate about keeping a shared definition of #rewilding. While I actually do use many products that help alleviate the deleterious effects of living in a #society that is mismatched with how #humans have #evolved, it pains me to see people stop there.

Fair trade or 7,500 year old #culturalappropriation? Was this #neolithic Ke$ha? What do you think? 😂😬 #anthropology #prehistory

Did you know humans didn’t start farming because it was a more efficient way to get calories than hunting and gathering? There are many theories as to why certain #humansocieties began #farming, but the reality is that no one knows. What we do know, is that it certainly wasn’t for #efficiency.

DID YOU KNOW…. #Humans are not innately flawed animals. What we call “Humans” (The Homo Genus) evolved at least 2.5 million years ago. Our current species, #HomoSapiens, hasn’t changed significantly in the last 200,000 years. If humans were innately flawed we would not have #survived this long.

Many #ancestralskills today are created with an individualist mindset, #frictionfire being one of them. But in older times, people worked together to create fire, understanding that #community and togetherness was an important part of their #survival. www.patreon.com/posts/149272...

DID YOU KNOW…. #Rewilding doesn't mean going back to living as #huntergatherers. Well, maybe for some! But not for most of us. That way of life is and was dependent upon a plethora of #megafauna that are now all but extinct in most regions of the world. www.rewildportland.com/rewilding-101

What is your favorite #rewilding related activity, and why?

It’s a really weird thing to have lived for over 25 years in an #existentialcrisis that just keeps fucking going. When you kind of have this understanding of systems #collapse and #diminishing-returns it’s simple math to understand society will collapse hard at some point.

Did you know "agriculture" probably doesn't mean what you think it means?... The word #agriculture is two parts: agri + #culture. The word "agri" means #field and "culture" means to cultivate. Agriculture is literally "field #cultivation."

Finding inspiration in other organizations that are keeping ancestral skills alive is an important part of running your own organization. In this episode I chat with Neal Ritter of the Laughing Coyote Project, a non-profit teaching earthskills in Colorado since 2007. www.patreon.com/posts/runnin...

#Rewilding reconnects people to a #regenerative relationship with the lands where we dwell. #SolarPunk offers a transitional type of living that could help soften the blow of a collapsing industrial technological system–or may even represent a kind of #sustainable #futurism. tinyurl.com/4udrm7pc

20 minute clematis basket. A great little “survival” basket that I usually teach with English ivy. It’s a great lesson in all the important parts of weaving a basket: the start, the walls, and the rim. ❤️🧺 #basket #basketry #basketmaking #basketweaving #clematis #survivalskills #ancestralskills

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... For millions of years, and in some places still today, hunter-gatherers raise competent and capable children. They do this while navigating challenging environments, with predators, dangerous tools, and most notably: without any school. How? Listen in.

Creating #ancestralskills communities is central to #rewilding. We need people sharing skills together, we need people tending land together. These communities don’t form over night. It takes time to build them. www.patreon.com/posts/123824...
