[Nobody]

Hi everybody. My name's Nobody, and I'm a 20 year old Northern-Virginian trying to wean myself out of my mom's house and into the wild. I've always felt more at home in the woods than a house, but it wasn't until I started using certain substances(more for psychonautic than shamanic purposes) that I really discovered how much I can't stand modern society/civilization and all of its blind supporters. I've got Social Anxiety Disorder and before I found this site I was beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with me, not civ. For now I'm working at a boring, dead end job where most of my co-workers aren't as bad as most "civilized" people and learning as much as I can about primitive living(basically just building up calluses). I forage a little bit and I plan on hunting(probably with an atlatl) and building a wigwam this summer, but good land(er....uninhabited land)  is hard to come by, even out here in the middle of nowhere. Might not get much done anytime soon since I plan on going to college soon so my family will stop bugging me about it. I plan on majoring in chemistry(probably organic) but I can't imagine what I would possibly do with the degree. Thanks for showing me I'm not crazy everybody :]

Welcome to the forum. Are you Nobody like the Emily Dickinson poem or Nobody like the Odyssey?

[Nobody]

Both I guess, but more like the character Exaybachay from the psychedelic western Dead Man.

Dig your sig. FLA's one o' my favs.

[Frankprimaltruth]

I use the name Frankprimaltruth from first using "primal truth" from the importance I think of giving it.  I believe in responsible living, and among other things have come to see it is not compatible with the general way of living with civilization.  Frank is from a name I have generally used, Francis, with playing with the meaning "frank" which is what I want to be with primal truth.  I am middle aged, and I live in southern California, and want to move to separation from urban living as fully as possible, even though it dominates this area, it does not exclude everything of the natural environments.  It may happen in any place with sustainable living possible for human beings, I would desire it with others. But there is something further.  I am Christian, I also agree that Jesus was contrary to establishment with a call away from that.  I might have been interested in the reference to Jesus Radicals Now a Green Anarchy Outpost, but that is, frankly , outdated, it does not work as a link, and any primitivist discussion has dwindled and no one responds now with interest in its pursuit, as I might like to see.  I will follow discussion here more.  But I have also started a blog for any wanting to see or take part in communication with my posts, http://positiveprimitivistradchristian.wordpress.com/

I thought I'd introduce myself first before posting and joining the discussion.
Hi. My name is Cyril, you can call me Cy if you want. I'm living and from MI. Just living a simple life with my girlfriend. We were planning to get married 3 years from now, hopefully. That's all for now.

It's nice to be here.

Hello. 50 year old woman living on 20 acres in the Texas Hill Country.  I used to post on IshCon so I recognize some folks from there; Peter, Tony, Jason.  I want to support rewilders and rewilding, and working on restoring and rewilding the little patch of land I'm on, replanting native edible plants and practicing small-scale permaculture near the house. 

Looks like this place is pretty quiet but I'm enjoying reading old posts.  I feel very encouraged by how far folks have come since the old Ish days.    You all give me a vision of the present and future.

[City Coyote]

My name's Mikey P. or City C... I've been preferring City lately. I live in the city and try and rewild there and venture out into the woods often too, don't have a car or anything so I am dependent on others for land and transportation. I am working on Rewild Ontario, and being a hunter-gangster rapper. Thank you all for having me here.

[Peter Bauer]

Glad you have you City.

Hi folks,

My name is John, and I live here in Cascadia (what they call Salem, Oregon). I've had a membership here for a year, but this is my first post. I'm rediscovering forums after abandoning Facebook. I find forums more interesting and focused, anyway. I work a 9-10 hour regular day job behind a computer (print industry, prepress technician), so I need some kinda outlet to keep me sane during that time!

I'm probably older than the average person here (46), but I am healthy, fit, and young at heart. I spent a lot of time in my late teens - early twenties living somewhat wild for periods of time, and had formal training in the Southwest in wilderness survival skills.

These days I try to practice my skills when I can, and move towards turning my home into a little permaculture oasis. Just trying to keep it together until the impending collapse of industrial cvivlization.
