Hey welcome aboard the sinking ship ! 
Howdy, this is Mike Rock, in Austin Txā¦ @hermes if you are here too letās talkā¦ I been soakin up Urban Scoutās rewilding goodness for several months now and have commented his blog a few times. I want to bring this conversation of rewilding to Austin, I know there must be a lot of people here who would totally grok this stuff.
Anyhoo if thereās other Texans in the house give me a shoutā¦ and you can MySpace me at myspace.com/mojomyke or find me at mike-rock.com

Mike, welcome! I was just IN Austin last week ā¦ damn ā¦
Good day,
I am called Sam, generally, but I am known primarily as Harvey around the midwest. Currently, I reside in Ann Arbor, MI, where I study formally and informally to become a gadfly of society.
Fenriswolfr, an old friend of mine, has recently introduced me to this whole world and I am quite taken with many of the ideas listed here. On that note, I am quite new to all of this, so I would like to apologize in advance, if I miswrite or make statements of an offensive nature out of my ignorance. I welcome criticism in my language.
hey there nice to meet you! no need to worry about anything in advance iād say. enjoy the ride, post your thoughts, look aroundā¦welcome!
Welcome! :-*

hi maelstrom! good to have you aboard!
hello all.
I live in the heart of Los Angeles overlooking the 10 freeway. How nice.
Reading all I can: just finished Derrick Jensenās āCulture of Make Believeā, started volume 1 of Endgame; finished Jason āThirty Thesesā, and have been reading all over this forum in the interim. Slowly plodding through Willemās āCollege of Mythic Cartographyā [http://www.mythic-cartography.org/] and other online resources.
I am looking to escape from Los Angeles as soon as possible and learn the skills necessary for the inevitable transition and collapse.

my name is taryn,
i am most happy when wandering, which is why i am here.
butā¦
I do have questions,
which is also why I am hereā¦
Hi to the new folks!
Taryn, you are in like company.
Green Vig, in the meantime, betcha could do some guerilla gardening in LA with all of those run down āno manās landsāā¦
Hi everyone. Iām Snail and Im near Osaka at the moment. Ive lurked for a while and caprice decided I should register today.
near Osaka? i did an exchange program near there for five months, lived in a place called Hirakata. anyhow, welcome snail.
Hey Green Vigilance,
Los Angeles has a heart? Haha. Just kidding. I lived in Culver City for a month or so next to the 10, than Echo Park next to the 101 for two months. Seems like Echo Park and Silverlake definately have room for rewilding stuff. There is that edible map of Silverlake. Anyway. Welcome to the forum!
And welcome everyone else!
I guess I should introduce myself. My parents named me Benjamin. Most people just call me Ben, hey you, or they use other euphemisms. I write on the aftermathblog.wordpress.com, and work on the mountaintopschool.wordpress.com. One of our latest projects has been trying to get together a magazine on rewilding, community building, collapse, and anything associated with it. We have named it the Mountain Top Quarterly. If anyone has an interest in submitting something you can check it out at http://mountaintopschool.wordpress.com/2008/04/10/the-mountain-top-quarterly/.
I do a bunch of practical skills to work towards surviving and thriving in the post-industrial world.
Good to be here. And if my mention of the Quarterly or anything else is against the rules, sorry. Just delete it.

Hi! My nameās Laura.
Iām an avid fan of the outdoors and love to traipse the woods, where I can find them, where I live in northern NJ. Seems this illustrious state has forgotten what a wildlife preserve is the way the powers-that-be are so eager to pave over the Meadowlands and the Ramapo Mts. for profit.
I still laugh at the upper echelon, whoāve moved onto the Ramapo Mts., crying about bears invading their backyards.
My advice? You chose to move there, you chose to live in bear territoryā¦DEAL WITH IT!
Anyway, watching this country spiraling into God-knows-what made me think that learning to survive in the forests might not be such a bad idea and so I searched for sites in this regard, which led me to you all.
From what Iāve been reading I think I hit the right site.
Iām glad I found you!
Hey everybody.
Iāve been more-or-less lurking this forum for months and thought it time to at least warn you of my presence. Iām ditching school for the summer (reluctant college student ā part-time student, full-time reluctant) to rather use my lounge-able months for, you knowā¦actually learning things, which should be quite the novel change. Lots of walking, dirt-time, reading, writing, music playing. Hopefully Iāll be able to contribute whatever scraps Iām able to glean from this experience and beyond.
I live on the edge of Anchorage, Alaska so I have the best of both: Family a few blocks away, and mile upon mile of forest right across the street to play and learn with.
I think I found the forum through Ran Prieur when he linked to Fabulous Forager, where I found Penny Scout, Urban Scout, and then this nifty little scout pit. Glad I did.
Welcome all
Hey all. My name is Jason and Iām living in Colorado. Iām glad to have found this site and hope I can contribute at least a little. Iām interested in a lot of things, especially plants. I donāt have too many friends around me so maybe Iāll make a few over here.
Just another fringe-dwelling vegetarian anarcho-bohemian with neo-primitivist anti-civilization on the brain most days & most ways. Instead of investing in a establishmentarian education, cultivating a career, starting a family, or whatnot Iāve pretty much devoted myself to studying martial arts, making art, artifacts, and music, learning crafts and everything else I felt was necessary to leave Western civilization behind, or thrive (hopefully with my own kind) as it falls apart around my heels. So its been interesting so far for sure, but now Iām finding the desire to draw around me a family and tribe however that makes itself manifest.
Been exploring the rewilding and primitive hunter-gatherer modalities since reading Edger Rice Burroughs as a wee thing - hey, donāt knock Pelucidar man! I seem to manifest just enough moola to front a somewhat normal civilian facade by teaching liberational-based martial arts (capoeira angola), making traditional Afro-Brazilian musical instruments, and running around the world teaching workshops.
Aside from the above interests I am an avid long-time student of Japanese classical swordsmanship, love to write, sometimes to illustrate, take lots of photos, into climbing trees, primitive archery - etcā, basketry, old hand tools, and too many other things to list here. I also mentored under a Northwest Coast native shaman/healer for about a decade. Iām currently based in Portland, Oregon
Pleased to make all your acquaintance here, looking forward to some connecting
