    Over the past twenty years, Lynx, a 45-year-old woman, has lived in the forests in North-West America. She gradually abandoned modern civilization and learnt how to live using prehistoric survival skills. Every year, she passes on her knowledge and skills to a group of people from all over the world. For five months, they learn how to relinquish modern goods, of plastic and metal for example, replacing them with leather, wood and flint, like in Stone Age. Then, without tents, flashlights, sleeping bags, knives or matches, and dressed and equipped only with what they’ve made themselves, they go into the wild for a month to simply try and survive.
    No one ever comes back the same person from this kind of journey. This documentary isn’t merely an adventure into some of the most beautiful landscapes of America. It is also, and more specifically, an intimate portrait of each of the ten participants, all from different social, professional and geographical backgrounds. As this unique experience unfolds, they learn about themselves, and maybe find answers to questions we all ask ourselves: Where is this “consumer” world we live in heading? What should our essential values be?

    Lynx is a gift. To have that knowledge and pass it down in such an obviously compassionate way is a treasure. She transfers her experiential knowledge and then gives them the space to absorb and act on that transfer. I truly hope some of her students will be able to transfer this knowledge to the next generation in the same manner. Then her job will come full circle as it did before her.

    If you love this type of living or just like learning about the style of survival and wilderness skills, look up the documentary from a long time ago called "Snowshoes and Solitude". It follows Les Stroud and his wife as they live in the wilderness for entire year in the same manner, no plastics, no metal. no synthetic clothing.

      What is really important in this "messed up world"?
      Being able to survive without a cell phone? I'm doing that.
      Being able to find food without supermarkets? I'm doing that?
      Understanding and loving nature? Yeah, I do.
      But you see, I can also thrive in the city and still have a sense of fulfillment.
      Running away and hiding in the wilderness is not an especially admirable thing to do.

      ​​@@timhallas4275I disagree. You have some kind of technology to be able to watch this. Watching TV is just as sick as using a cell phone. Running away from society is an extremely admiral thing to do. And it takes a very special kind of person these days. Staying in the rat race of society is way too easy and a cop out. Humans are lazy, especially Americans. We are a sick, messed up nation. I'd much rather survive and thrive in the forest than call myself a citizen of America. Unfortunately the system has a sick way of keeping people down and out so they can never find their way back to a more natural and healthy way of living unless they can pull themselves away from running water, electricity, technology and learn what it takes to really be human.

This is remarkable and gives rise to very deep feelings and philosophical thoughts. I like this video very much.

    Do your students understand, at their advanced ages, they are learning the children's lessons? This is the way of sight, sound, tactile existence begaining at birth. The resonance from Earth, the stone the wind, trees, this leads to music..... art, philosophy! Teaching , perspective, is the lessons needed! People like you emerge from our civilization in every generation to teach the capitalist that power and money are not the means to all ends. We brothers in heart, THANK you! Full sails and clear seas!

    I purchased a property in Colorado recently coming up from the bay area originally from Los Angeles. 5 acres of property that the Indians once lived on. I feel that they are still there. There are artifacts and signs of them everywhere I can see why they chose this place. It was a gift given to me through my father from our father. I am so connected to this land I can’t even tell you in words, but you can see it in my eyes, hear it from my heart understand it from my soul.
    What you are doing is awesome . it confirms my feelings and values for the mountains of Colorado, and for mankind itself. We spend so much time on frivolous things, thoughts and actions. we fight with ourselves with keys and security, and alarms to hide us from our frights fears and phobias.
    We are blinded by a manufactured world, and can rarely see the light . The more hours I put into my job and civilization. The more I find it’s civilization that’s killing me. I long for spring, I long for the days to return to the mountains of Colorado to build on my property to hunt to fish to gather, and to build my structure and restructure my peace of mind. But after seeing your video, I will have a different mindset on the things that really matter and love life even more you are brilliant thank you for your wisdom. Thanks for showing me the path. you’re doing the right thing and you are so correct on so many levels.

    Dear Lynx and John, It is good to see you are living well. Your tribe is the many people who's lives you have improved through your enthusiasm and teaching, even if only for a day. You once taught me how to soften a bear hide, and a pair of buffalo sandals. Now you teach me how to make a discoidal blade through John's video. My friend Audrey from Arctic village, taught me to make "dried meat" It was fun to see her skill as she had done this a thousand times. For anyone interested: flute a Clovis point by sandwiching it flat between two haves of a 12-15cm split stick. Heavier wood adsorbs the end-shock. Grind the split sides flat on sandstone or sidewalk, both halves. Two little buttons of wood are pitch-glued onto each half at one end ( they hold the point on either side of the fluting platform), four buttons total. Wrap the point tight at the tip and the base with cordage a few times, before removing the basal flakes. The DNA tells us the descendants of some Clovis People are now Australian Aborigines, others live in France. So much for appropriation! The spirit of this video is wonderful. The conundrum of "the two worlds" is so true. "There shall be a new earth, and the old one shall pass away". It is hard to see our earth in such bad shape and to be so disconnected from our roots.

    I found the last scene walking through the supermarket very strong.
    I grew up on a small meat farm in Australia. I grew up raising and slaughtering livestock.
    That grew into hunting as I came of age.
    The thing that has always struck me as odd is that people are fine to get get a pack of meat at the shops but are squeamish to the reality of where it comes from.
    When you take a life yourself it does give u such a deeper connection to the animal. You appreciate that meat 1000 times more than pre packaged shop meat. Awesome I'd love to give this sort of journy

So inspiring to see people living this way. I, like so many in these times, have realized some of the same things that were spoken about in this film concerning the modern world and it's deep rooted separateness from the natural world, that pit in the gut. And I feel so drawn to live closer to this way, in harmony with the elementals. Again, thank you so much for sharing this. Let's hope humanity doesn't wait till we are forced to live this way again, and instead we are proactive in our daily lives to reduce waste, appreciate resources, grow our own foods, and live more simply and in alignment with nature.

    Learning what a good community looks like, or one example of it, as one person said in this, is a strong takeaway message for me, and that there are many right ways to live and there is value in exploring them and connecting with people through that. And there is such beauty in these ancient ways of living and interacting, it is so clear to see the happiness there. Thanks for making this documentary.

    • @Caitanyadasa108
      @Caitanyadasa108 7 місяців тому

      I also think the community aspect is the most powerful takeaway from this, since it's obvious that ego has no place in a situation where survival is at stake. Modern humans (speaking mostly of Northern Hemisphere Westerners here) need to remember this and relearn how to live together; to be trustworthy, supportive, and willing to do one's part in contributing to the group's wellbeing. Otherwise, while it was fascinating and inspiring on a number of levels to see people learning the ancient ways I don't think reverting to stone-age technology is the answer to the plight humans have brought on themselves (not saying you think that either). There is a reason we moved away from stone age technologies: the lifestyle is very hard and focused almost entirely on base survival, moreover, neither would the planet support 8 billion hunter-gatherers. At the same time it's also painfully clear that modernity has much that is utterly superfluous or outright hostile to human flourishing, and so a balance needs to be found. Projects like this remind us that we actually need so very little in the way of material goods to live well. Voluntary simplicity in the context of strong community with the minimal necessary technology seems to me the only viable way humanity will move forward.

    • @themagicmountain4
      @themagicmountain4 7 місяців тому

      @@Caitanyadasa108 Yes I agree, voluntary simplicity and strong community in whatever context and culture one finds themself, just exercising ones capacity for wisdom, moderation, restraint, and thoughtfulness for others. Humanity has grown like a chick in an egg to the point where we have hit the limit of our store of natural resources, and to "hatch" for us is to change our behavior from unchecked growth and expansion to one of moderation and intelligent use and better understanding of the nature and stories of our environment.
