Picnic Princess posted:For people to follow, you can never go wrong with Ray Mears. He's my favourite wilderness survival guru by far. Same here, he's very practical and his shows and books are about the culture, practical uses, and history of man and it's beginnings and glory days. Do a YouTube search for "Ray Mears Bushcraft" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR7N5zuC8WI or "Ray Mears Wild Food" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5pG_CMAAQk. Some are a bit more focused on nice pictures and good vibes, others have a lot of information you can actually apply. I would say wild food has more useful things worth researching, but I just really enjoy even the filler shots of suns setting and Ray paddling a canoe. The Sweden episode has a nice simple little method for cooking fish over fire without a pan to get people started. extra stout fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Apr 14, 2017 |

Rime posted:The series really lead me to question whether modern agricultural diets have had long enough to alter humans such that switching back to hunter-gatherer mode is simply no longer possible for our metabolisms, at least in the relative my short timespans portrayed in series's such as Alone. It's a good question that almost no one can answer, my personal idea of an in between somewhat plausible idea would be people who mostly grow food on their own land, keep some chickens if you'd like, and then learn foraging skills to supplement that food, function as a pretty interesting and useful hobby and then rarely if ever truly help you survive if you end up in a survival situation. There will probably always be grocery stores and fast food near where you live if you're in a modern city or town, but it'd be nice if there were less of them and if less people needed them to prepare their meals for them every few hours of their life. If people weren't giving billions of dollars to big agriculture they wouldn't have the money to continue with lobbying in politics, the news, and generally every aspect of life. Teach even 50 million Americans some basic backyard skills, forget even needing to identify mushrooms on trails or know which tree stumps you can find water in, just get a lot of people a chicken coop and some carrots and the mentality of having your own knowledge and choice could sway the world back a bit. I didn't see their video yet, did they not find or bring some dill weed to throw on that fish? Works every time

Liquid Communism posted:Find 50 million Americans that live somewhere they -can- keep chickens, and you're doing good. They can have all of NYC and the island too, done I forget if there is still a knife thread open, but has anyone here used the Mora eldris knife? Think I'm finally going to buy one, I worry the blade is not long enough for a lot of uses and that it might be too thick to be any good for detailed whittling, but still a short cute looking fixed blade for $23 is hard not to beta test.
