		<title>Drag and Brag Through the Gifford Pinchot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few weeks back I took the Grover Cleveland High School NW Ecology class on a hike through the Gifford Pinchot. I hadn&#8217;t worked with a group that large (25 or so people) in quite some time, and since I didn&#8217;t have much time I did what we call the &#8220;drag and brag&#8221; in that, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fundamentalism vs. Rewilding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of friends and family. The great majority of them know nothing about rewilding. Many consider themselves Christians, Mormons, Atheists, Democrats, Republicans, etc. I want to make the point here that I don&#8217;t base my relationships on whether or not someone has an interest in rewilding or even understands anything about it.

		<title>Hate Culture vs. Rewilding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks back I went to a anarchist curated fundraiser for an anti-civilization film. In lieu of my recent &#8220;fan mail&#8221; and the overall attacks I get from green anarchists, I&#8217;m very apprehensive about going to these kinds of events, but I wanted to show my support for the film and meet the filmmaker.

		<title>Book Recommendation: Coyotes Guide to Connecting With Nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This book is a 3lb tome that describes Jon Young&#8217;s mentoring model. I recommend it for any rewilding people out there, simply on the basis that it has a great collection of games and &#8220;routines&#8221; that help people have amazing experiences with the other-than-human world. The routines in this book gave me experiences that formed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doom and Gloom Vs. Rewilding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I get to talking about how fucked up this culture is and how much it is fucking up the planet, someone inevitably writes me off as just preaching doom and gloom without &#8220;realistic&#8221; solutions. Generally what they actually mean is solutions [sic] that will prevent them from having to fundamentally change the way they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rewilding: A Term to Throw Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a long time now I&#8217;ve used this blog to post up angry rants about random topics, generally relating to rewilding in some way or other. I&#8217;ve realized something in the last few days that is blowing my mind: I&#8217;m fucking sick of &#8220;rewilding.&#8221; Yes that&#8217;s right folks. I&#8217;ve had it up to here with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raccoon Heart @ Dec Rewild Camp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A beautiful raccoon heart at the December &#8216;09 Rewild Camp. I cut it out of a full grown female raccoon who died under the wheel of a car on Powell st. I wanted to eat it, but I don&#8217;t know about the toxicity of organ meats of urban omnivores. Especially those riffling through garbage cans [...]]]></description>

		<title>Between a Rock and a Hard Place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a lot of interesting conversations about the mysterious package I received. I&#8217;ve learned a lot, become aware of a lot of things I didn&#8217;t know about and thought deeply about my reactions and how I will deal with this kind of thing in the future. I&#8217;ve made mistakes in the last few weeks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Empire Vs. Rewilding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A power system sits in place that keeps the rich rich and the poor poor. This power system lies outside of most people&#8217;s perception because we grow up in it, never knowing anything different, never seeing it articulated but understanding it down to our bones. It feels as natural to us as drinking a glass [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preparing My 220 Conibear Traps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Raccoon season starts next week. I finally made time to prep my traps in the way my trappers education booklet told me. I boiled the conibears to get the factory grease off and then mixed in a handful of black walnut to see what would happen.

		<title>Censorship vs. Rewilding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Seriously, topics like this bore the shit out of me and I shouldn&#8217;t even have to write about this. But because it happens so frequently, I thought I should. The other day some asshole posted a few comments on my blog calling me a hypocrite (among other things) for watching television. I deleted their comments. [...]]]></description>

		<title>English Ivy Bike Basket</title>

Everyone talks shit on English Ivy; its invasive behavior has given it a bad rap. A while ago I started to feel empathy for the plant and wonder what kind of relationship I could begin to have with the plant, other than pulling it off of native trees and letting it rot in an ugly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ask Urban Scout: The Preparedness Question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey there Scout,
I am just wondering that, while you are honing your skills to be able to create new out of the aftermath of civilization while nature is still intact, what are your thoughts about what to gather from this world (i.e ropes, tarps, rations, guns) to facilitate survival during whatever happens whenever it happens.

It seems that another speaker who was to talk about primitivism didn&#8217;t work out and they needed someone. Of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Walnuts For Food and Dye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Today I finally gathered some Black Walnuts. I&#8217;ve been watching them for weeks now, ever since I got my traps. I never really thought I would get into dyeing things but then when I got my traps, I read online that I should dye them first, with Black Walnut husk.

I went out the other day with Willem and harvested a whole bunch more fireweed as well as nettles for this next year. I&#8217;m going to process even more for my own projects but I want to save a bunch and do another cordage skill share at Echoes in Time next summer. I&#8217;m going to [...]]]></description>
