Tracker of Plants

Recently the rewilding duo of Emily Porter (the plant tracker formerly known as Penny Scout) and Urban Scout, author of Rewild or Die, were spotted  making amends over a bottle of Jim Beam and chatting late into the night at the Echoes in Time primitive skills gathering near Salem, OR. On Tuesday they were spied again by passing motorists gathering salal berries near the bus stop on the Lewis and Clark campus. Are they back to the ol’ peck and grind? While rumors fly like atlatl darts, the pair insists they are just trying to be friends.  From what it appears they are, at the very least, keeping their options open. Both are still listed as single on Facebook, and Urban Scout recently admitted to having a crush on blogger Leslie Richard of The Oko Box, while different men have been spotted coming out of Emily’s tipi at Wintercount, Buckeye, and Echoes…sometimes more than one per gathering! When asked to comment at a recent END:CIV fundraiser Porter denied any boyfriends but laughed and quipped, “If I had my way, it’d be more than one leaving at a time!” Will the peace treaty last between these two warring parties? We wouldn’t bet our buckskins on it.
