Nuclear Winter Formal 2008!

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

**SAVE THE DATE**

Urban Scout’s Nuclear Winter Formal
Saturday, January 26th 8pm
@ Someday Lounge (125 NW 5th Ave, Portland OR)
$5-10 sliding scale

Urban Scout’s annual Nuclear Winter Formal feels like a prophetic vision, now that Portland recently played host to a nuclear bomb terror drill. With media hype and military drills, the threat of nuclear warfare has risen again to the forefronts of our imaginations and reminded us of our worst fears! There is only one thing we can do…

Anarchists Vs. Rewilding

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

The following stories about so-called anarchists come from completely subjective experiences that I have had (and a few others), with particular anarchists over a period of time. I do not mean to insult all those who label themselves as anarchists, but question the label when I have seen the culture or scene of “anarchists” act thusly.

Weeks38,39: Inconsequential Bullshit

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

I have to say, I often feel at a loss when writing the weekly laundry lists. I know I have said this before, but it feels even stronger during these winter months. While everything I do relates to rewilding, and people enjoy reading about my personal struggles, I can’t help but feel bored writing about some of them.

Week35-36: …You know, chillin’.

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

I have spent the last couple weeks getting things ready for the art show in D.C. and writing more of my Born to Rewild book. I finished my camo jacket, brained the raccoon twice… long story. Anywho, no time to type here now. Got other shit to do. I go to D.C. on Monday!

Rewilding My Teddy

Friday, December 7th, 2007

My rewilding runs deep. You can see the first tipi I ever made in this photo. I used Maple wood and paper towels. It did not hold up in the rain. Underneath “Happy Bear” (I called him that because of the perma-frown on his face), sits a bow and arrow made from a bent stick and a rubber band. I even filed down points on the tip of the “arrows” using the concrete. My mother encouraged me to use my imagination, but not to start fires on the living room floor. I used my imagination for that too.

Diets Vs. Rewilding

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I have always tried to speak neutrally when discussing the problems with the vegan ethical system… Until today. You heard me right folks, I finally feel fed-the-fuck-up with the all the veganism bullshit. The truth comes out! Enter the following rant at your own risk…

Agriculture Vs. Rewilding

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

In order to understand the destructive nature of agriculture you must understand the phases of ecological succession. Ecological succession refers to the phases of growth from barren rock to a climax forest. The loss of biodiversity that creates a blank slate generally occurs through a disturbance such as fire, flood, volcanic eruptions, etc.

Ask Urban Scout #7: Hate for Hating Haters

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Urban Scout -Why do you hate so much? What makes it worthwhile? What would you say to someone who says it is a waste of time, energy, and headspace to hate? Do you see hate as a passionate appraisal, a negating force, or what exactly? Could you take a bit of time to flesh out the healthy aspects of hating and the unhealthy aspects of hating – as you see them? Do you see hate as white and black, hate completely or not at all? I ask not only because I am ever so curious but also in case some easily influenced kid makes an enemy out of someone because the other supports something you hate and unnecessary damage ensues.- Sincerely Seeking a Straight Debate to Illuminate Hate which might Sate the Irate who Relate
