Welcome, JustVisiting, Paula and Mario!
We welcome refugees!
yes yes, come this way 
My name is Andrew Jensen. I live in St. louis, MO.
My defining feature is that I cannot sit still.
I am married to a wonderful woman named Miranda who is contantly worried I will do something unwise.
I have a 5 year old son who was diagnosed with autism and then got over it. I have always understood him better than other people.
I am slowly trying to free myself from the prison I was born into, without leaving my family behind. I have found it to be slow going.
Welcome aboard Andrew!
Welcome, Andrew. Itās nice to see you here.
Hello welcome Andrew!
Thank you. Iāve been reading enough of the peopleās blogs here that I thought maybe it was time to introduce myself.
Hmm, rereading my origional post, I want to clarify a sentance. I have always understood my son better than I understand other people. His way of thinking makes more sense to me than the average personās does.
Ello my dearies. My name is Spencer. I am 18 and I live in grew up in a town known to us as Griffin in Georgia which is where Doc Holiday grew up.
Recently I was out for a stroll with my dog and I met this guy on a bridge who invited me to sit with him under that bridge while he, as he put it, āwet his whistle with a bottle of clean fermented heaven.ā
He swigged on wine and talked about some of the things you talk about here and after a bit of web seeking based on his chosen topics of conversation I found this. I donāt know anyone else like him. He was very affectionate and cheerful and had what I would call a strong character that got me interested immediately. I couldnāt figure out why but he seemed to want to know about me.
I like to read and devote more time to it than anything else but I donāt know much about anything. This guy seemed to know alot about everything. It makes me want to buy a shelf full of complete guides for idiots and learn stuff. School never makes me want to learn. Mostly I think I wish this crap didnāt exist and I donāt care what happened.
He also had so many stories. The amount of stories he could tell made me want to have stories too.
After a few hours I felt like I had lived for a whole week. By our chance encounter I feel like I had a one-shot mentor and I know he will be a lifelong source of inspiration that Iāll never forget. I donāt think he was trying to influence me. It seemed more like he was just living and that in and of itself was enough to influence anyone he encountered.
I feel like after that Iām not as much of a runaway train and have found some new reasons to live and I understand the whole all the worldās a stage bit a bit better, so here I am, raising my voice and playing my part. I donāt think I have much to offer, all the same I look forward to sifting through all these pearls and beginning my own rewilding.
I also look forward to sharing any new insights with my friends and family.
Greetings mate
Teek, tok,
Welcome! I enjoyed reading your introduction. That short story you told about meeting that guy reminded me of all the neat/cool/nice/inspiring peops Iāve met who enjoy rewilding. Thank you for the reminder!
Iām Sara of Duvall (east of Seattle), Washington. I live with my āhusbandā (more of an honorary title, as we donāt truly consider him the āhouse masterā) and 2 daughters. I was born in Eugene, Oregon, lived in Portland, and only moved to the Seattle area recently.
cool another from WA, federal way here
welcome spencer and sara!

great to have you here!!!
welcome to Spencer too!!!
I wove dis puace! N uāll! :-*
I am backā¦Does anybody remember me? 
Currently I spend most of my days smoking and writing being one step above being homeless.
( Is trying to publish a philosophical book.)
Iām thinking really seriously again about living in the wilderness and telling the world to go ahead in destroying itself leaving me out of the whole dam thing.
Anyhow I look forward to talking to everyone again re-connecting old relationships and making new ones.
The Dark Side has really clouded your thoughts, Annie! 
Mods: Saw that you changed your Annie pic to an X-men, Logan. Clouded to a degree I can not fathom. What real face hides in the cloud of masks and confusion?
Welcome back, The Jocker!
Hello all. 33 year old male in North Carolina here. I was introduced to these ideas first by reading Ishmael(then most of Quinnās other books). It seemed like finally someone was saying a lot of what I felt but was explaining it much better than I could reason it on my own. Later I found Jasonās Anthropik website and read his 30 theses. Another brilliant mind spreading brilliant ideas. It was his site that led me here.
Iām mainly just looking to make online friendships with like minded people. It can get very lonely on this side of things. My wife āgets itā and even buys it but is not embracing it as I am.
I havenāt begun any rewilding, and honestly donāt have a huge burning desire to. Civilization treats me well enough that Iām not eager to run from it, yet I know it must end. I think it would be very cool to learn primitive living skills, but am skeptical about the reality of stepping right into a hunter-gathering lifestyle and thriving. I think it will take many generations of trial and error before we relearn the skills and more importantly the mental/emotional outlook neccessary for a way of life we have lost for so long. It will be very rough going for those of us in the beginning. I see it more as a sacrifice we will have to make for future generations, trailblazing the post-civilization era.
Welcome back, The Joker.
Welcome, wolfatheart. You seem understand the problems of rewilding pretty well, imho. How can we rebuild within our lifetime something that took our predecessors generations upon generations to build? We canāt. But we can start the ball rolling. I would challenge you to use the comfort of your civilized life right now to start enjoying the fun of learning primitive skills and challenging your civilized thoughts. Itās all about the journey, anyway.
