What’s up my non-coast, non-mountain peeps? Let’s get together and canoe!
Boring and dead? you must be in lower michigan. I loved northern lower michigan, up there in the traverse bay. How about scuba diving the the old copper people’s caves?
Or maybe we can craft a gathering, or even one of these camps. I’m in Indiana, three hours south of Chicago.
Let me know.
so did I, lower Michigan, especially suburbia usually seems dead -_-
Hey we’ve almost got a crew here, any other closet midwesterners? Take a look on the google maps. IN the midwest, in Indiana, you’ll find a huge postage stamp of forest. I live minutes away form that postage stamp. Notice the hand that looks like a hand picking up a basketball? those are the rivers I love to speak of; the source of my food and my life, the Wabash Valley.
There literally an unlimited amount of things you can do in a healthy eco-system.
I’m over here in Missouri, specifically st. louis. Indiana is a bit far for me at the moment, but who knows when that may change?
I am in Ohio, Cincinnati… just moved back home from Portland, OR! Am trying to search for similar people/organizations around here but am having a hard time. I am regretting not getting involved with the “Scouts” in Portland before moving back home… but am hoping to find similar people around here!

I have Minnesota roots. If anyone wants more information about living within the ecosystem in northern MN, I can try to help.

I lived in Columbus for a year before moving to Portland. Got a bunch of friends there, and I could see how it’s a better atmosphere than Cincinnati for this sort of thing. Do you know of anything going on (meetings, classes, organizations) in Ohio? I am just starting to learn about edible wild plants in this area, got a few books to start with. Wish I would have paid attention when I lived here all my life up to moving to Portland, but that city really got me interested in it all…
i’ve been getting some online resources together here
there’s actually a surprising amount of info “out there”, just gotta really look for it
actually, I’m going to stay with a friend in Columbus for a couple of weeks before I take off to New Orleans. I’ll be available to get together after Monday, until Thanksgiving, if you guys want to go out and see what’s there. Also, I could hand-deliver those seeds, sorry I haven’t had the money for postage, but I have kept your address in my wallet! It would be nice to get out once and a while during all my research leading up to my new position.
cool, let me know if there’s any particular time that’s good for you 
yeah, i have the yucca seeds together (actually, i have the autumn olive seeds together too, but i left them a couple hours away :() just haven’t sent them yet
yeah, I’m not at that address anymore. send me a PM with your phone number, and I’ll give you a ring mpnday or so. (I think my friend and I are going to go camping this weekend.)
I wonder if there’s enough of us 'round here to plan a meetup? that would be really great, maybe sometime in the spring/summer… just an initial thought…
let’s do something maybe in a couple of weekends? I’m leaving for New Orleans after Thanksgiving.
Hey Tony! How long are you going ot be gone? Are you moving for good? I plan on doing a lot of activities in the spring/summer as far as get-togethers, gardening, foraging, primitve living classes, etc. Will you be back then?
it’s a minimum of a two-year plan, but maybe I might come back early if I’m successful and able to bring the technology back up the river. if there is a midwest rewild camp sometime during the summer, maybe I can come back and camp with ya’ll!
Yeah maybe a ReWild Midwest gathering can be pulled together…
minnesotan here.
hah well I’m back in MI for 3 week… woo snow!
Don’t get that where I am in WA/
