Nice story Chase. Like the name! Hope we can help you live up to it, and hope you can teach us more about it too.
Hi Chase. Anarchists are grand, aren’t we?!? 
(Just got back from doing Seattle Food Not Bombs … so I’m in a sanguine state of mind.)
Do you still live in Orange County? What books do you recommend revolving around anarcho-primitivism? And what are you discovering in the natural world around you?
Some people call me “foxboy”. I think it started because I usually have a dead fox or some other small animal in my freezer. I am turning 25 years old in a week. I have been wandering this earth for the better part of those years. It was only until I landed in Portland three weeks ago that I felt like I was home. Dear Penny Scout, I had no idea that there were others like me out there, that is, until I found you on the internet from my windowless bedroom, ah-hem, cage, in Brooklyn. It was then I realized why I was so low. I woke up every morning, went through the motions, took a piss and shit my spirit out. Basically, that is what happened. I couldn’t fucking breath, emotionally, physically or otherwise. I needed to go out and do what makes me fucking excited about being alive. Learning skills to survive outside of this mess, getting dirty, playing with dead things, playing with alive things, climbing trees and spying on the sleepers who unknowingly pass underneath me. Dear Penny Scout, thanks to you I am not sad anymore. I moved 3000 miles and found home. Urban Scout, I wish I was technically a boy, just so I could look as handsome as you do in a loincloth.
I hope to run into you all in real time!
Welcome, Tj, jenstclair, Ms. Blasphemy, foxboy!

¡woot! food not boms!
Yep still here. Likely til ai die. Its difficult finding books specifically on anarchoprimitivism, but ai can recommend Survival Skills of Native California, by Paul D. Campbell as an excellant guide to everything from hygene to hunting and food storage. As for what aim discovering… Changing seasons, bird migrations, nonnative weeds, wild foods, local whispering trees… caves… its been fun.

Urban Scout
There are a couple really hot pictures of you on your myspace . And I did not print a giant poster of you and put it up on my wall at home (wouldn’t want to get the missus too excited).
keep looking good U Scout
How cool that you rescued Derrick Jensen right after that kitten. 8)

Not much, just that ai think its rediculous to just capitalize yourself and not others’ pronouns. And ai’m trying to slowly get pÃÂpel to spell in a more logical way, like used to happen in english. Really, you can look at lots of words and, if you know the right ruels, you can figure out how they were pronounced in old english. Like “know”: its now pronounced like “no”, but it used to be like “k+no+w”. And “night”, now pronounced “nait” was “nee+(spanish j)+t”. Just so ye know, ai’m a language nerd. ;D
Hello, everyone.
My name is Dan (or rather, “people call me Dan”; I plan on really incorporating E-Prime down the line).
I lived in a relatively liberal suburb outside of Trenton New Jersey. I never got the opportunity to go camping, hunting, fishing or really get into the wilderness but I liked the little woods near my house. I was a pretty normal, civilized kid, but a had a bad case of ADD, which I would be fascinated to find out later might mean I’m more adept to a forager culture. I developed a love for anthropology, environmentalism and anarchism when I was about 16, reading all kinds of essays and books on the subjects. I had originally reject anarcho-primitivism and it’s offshoots for a while until (and I know this date for a fact) my 17th birthday.
The whole shabang started when, after initially detesting the writings of such a-prims as John Zerzan and Kevin Tucker, I found what I still consider today the most well-written, though out and best of all, accessible form of primitive writing in the form of Jason Godesky’s Anthropik. After exploring the horrors of peak oil, climate change, species extinction, land degradation, and how the systems of hierarchy can be traced back 10,000 years, I accepted the consequences and was about to start my rewilding adventure.
There was one, big amalgamated problem. I was about to move into the center of a major U.S. city for 5 years, devoting a large portion of my time to studying and practicing jazz (which, to be honest, I truly love).
Unfortunately for me, there’s no big solution to this enormous problem. It’s such a huge challenge when, during what little time I have, I can’t even walk through the woods. There are three things that keep me afloat: The urban gardening initiatives that are gaining acceptance here, my theories on how music contributes to tribal communication and my girlfriend whom I really think will open up to this whole idea.
hi
Welcome Dan.
i live in/ the edge of pisgah national forest, southern appalachians
rewilding all the time
strong interest in community and skills
strong interest also in health as a relationship and what some may call survival medicine
i worked as a paramedic
would love to find others with similar interests and meet in real time
i feel things are changing in a big way real soon
so much more to say and sometimes it just seems so weird to write it all here.
Hi all my name is Adam I live in Medford Oregon. I stumbled on this Blog purely on accident so I’m calling it fate. I’ve been Rewilding all of my life. My father is an Elder and raised me with all the Hunter Gather skills he could, and he’s very good. I grew up in the Mountains of Arizona, I still love it there. I married a girl from Medford 19 years ago who I met in Alaska. I’ve had the opportunity to live in Africa, SW Asia, Europe, and have spent some meaningful time in Hokkaido Japan. I love living outdoors where you can feel the seasons change daily. I like the idea of growing food; but as a fairly nomadic person I’ve not had much luck with it especially when you can go to the forest or desert and just pick it up for free. I have three children 19, 16, 13, who I’ve tried to pass on the love of rewilding with varying success. My wife and I moved back to Oregon to raise our children in the society my wife grew up in although she’s a little appalled that my 16 year old is coming to the same conclusions as I did long ago that life as we know it is doomed. I just tell her honey all you have to do is look around. I have 5 horses that allow me to get way deeper in the mountains of the beaten path. I know there are mixed feelings about Domestic animals but after spending time with the Bedouins in the Middle East I came home and embraced limited Pastoralism. I find myself insatiably curious about how to do, see, hear, touch, and taste what this world has to offer, when you can get far enough away from the noise of Civilization to experience it. The internet is the most incredible thing, it allows people who would probably never meet to get acquainted and share skills and ideas, I’m going to spend a month just reading this Blog to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I just hate that feeling when you learn something new and you just groan and think Boy I wish I would have known that 10 years ago.
welcome, I too came here completely randomly, and was all this is it!
anyhow, cool you’ve been places, wish I could say the same, Love to go some of those, like hokkaido and all.
