What a great video. Very well said!

[arthurdhaines]

@jazzplayer9 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. More on this topic to come. After all, once a problem is identified, it is useful to strategize a solution. That solution (a path in life) will be the focus. Best wishes.

I also feel that our best path lies in rewilding.

My main goals are to 1. learn to survive and strive within our dominant culture and 2. to break away from the dominant culture and learn to survive and strive without it, rewild, etc.

The first one is the real soul crusher. Sinse our intentions are so much similar it would be great to hear your take on the first one, if you are interested in sharing.

@HandsomeSasquatch I don't feel we can run away and live on a patch of secluded land, because the actions of civilization affect our well-being (e.g., long-distant transport of pollution). Therefore, we need to remain connected, on some level, to the "dominant culture" and learn to affect change there. Unfortunately, many skills and some personal attributes that make us thrive in civiliation aren't the same skills/attributes that create competency/health in the wild. Big topic!

@treverbettis Gaining your strenght and motivation back don't happen overnight. Start slow and get outside, push yourself as much as you can. You'll find your motivation again. Don't give in to domestication. Best wishes.

@pedalpusher101 I prefer not to get into such questions (in depth) here. This is an intimate question that perhaps we can discuss in person at some time. I do believe in a creator, but I don't feel that creator needs to be a person. Certainly some creative force has given everything we see in front of us. Having gratitude (in some form) for creation is a must for me. Best wishes.

Hey Arthur!  could you recommend and books about Homonid evolution?

[CarrionSmile]

@MrCrunchybizzle I have used crushed, fired shell for temper. I've had mixed results. Many failures, some later with use (the pots begin to come apart in layers). I've also had some success. I've used this temper to little to understand all the nuances around its effective use. I've used grog and sand, with the latter being my most used and most successful temper. I'll definitely work more clay pot videos in this summer! It is such as great skill and certainly fun to use.

Im also glad to read that gratitude of "creation" is important to you ..Its the birds, the trees, and the people around me that make the urban chaos worth dealing with
