The Poster Child of Rewilding
Saturday, July 28th, 2007
As you can see from the above photograph, this week ReadyMade Magazine has turned me into the poster child for rewilding. Check out the latest issue (Aug/Sept) for a centerfold you can all hang on your walls. Have I made anarcho-primitivism cool yet?

Saturday, July 28th, 2007Terms of Subsistence
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I recently joked with Penny Scout about how the term, “scavenger hunt,” sounds like an oxymoron; a scavenger doesn’t hunt… they scavenge. This joke inspired me to write a little about the terms of subsistence strategies.

Week16: Making Plans With Penny
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007So, as you may have read in my last post, I came home the other day to find Penny Scout sitting in my kitchen shooting the shit with my roommates after driving some 2000 miles for a surprise visit.
Week15: High Spirits or Hungry Ghosts?
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007When we no longer maintain a relationship with the spirits, the spirits have to eat our psyches. And when the spirits are done eating our psyches, they eat our bodies. And when they’re done with that, they move on to the people close to us. -Martin Prechtel

Friday, July 13th, 2007Noble Savage Vs. Rewilding
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007John Zerzan did a talk at (The Dreaded) Reed College a while ago.

Mad, Maxed Out
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007I’ve had a bad week, psychologically. My money has begun to dwindle and I have to face the reality; I live as a slave in a hierarchical system. It makes me terribly depressed to imagine myself behind the counter, serving up another latte to another slave as they head to their slave-job.

Sunday, July 8th, 2007Ask Urban Scout #2: Apocalyptic Safe Sex!?!
Friday, July 6th, 2007I often receive e-mails and myspace messages from other aspiring hunter-gatherers with questions about what I do, and what I think about things and what people can do encourage rewilding their lives. I have devoted a section of this site to answering those questions publicly so others can give there own feedback as well. I dug this one up from the old myspace archives.
