It’s nice to see some quasi-definitions for these terms. I tend to just say I’m trying to become a feral human. I’ll have to look for more re-wilding info though – it’s always fun to have a new search term.

I found your blog by way of your anarcho-primitivist stand-up routine on youtube, and coincidentally I’m a former UVM student, having dropped out a week ago.

My world was turned upside down several months ago after reading Jensen and watching Stimulator and running in circles with people who had similarly mind-blowing information to share. All of a sudden a UVM education wasn’t holding up to the one I was getting outside the classroom, and it seemed more logical to spend my time self-educating than pay a school thousands of dollars only to be miseducated.

This entry strikes a chord, as I’m now constantly having to explain myself and my atypical views to family, friends, and peers. It’s hard to put a label on my beliefs and interests, especially when they sound as combative as “green anarchy” or as ambiguous as “living sustainably.”

Without an innate interest in plant-life (I was a studio art major) but a genuine interest in gaining primitive skill sets and a sense of immediacy in rewilding, I’m not sure what my next step will be. I’m staying in Burlington for the time being, working a part time job, and slowly teaching myself and my friends about wild food foraging, gardening, bicycle maintenance, and building healthy communities.

I don’t know if I’ll go back to school or where I’ll end up in the future, but finding your blog and hearing your story was very, very cool, and it’s nice to know that someone else with a similar background and similar interests is making it work and making it look good. Kudos.

My Passion is living a life that is pleasing to God. I have found this has made me truly happy because my joy is not based on earthly things which in the end will pass away. “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away”
I have also discovered by living a life in obedience to God He has opened my eyes to a what is unseen to the world. Not only does life take on a new meaning because you are in tune to the rhythms of heaven itself. You see God’s handiwork in His creation, the creator and sustainer of all life.

“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.”(Psalm 37:4)

Nothing else can satisfy your Mind, body, soul and spirit as God can.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
 ”And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
