Id like to welcome! all the new people stumbling on these forums lately. Good to have you here !
Hello. My name is Jacob (but most people call me Ghost). Living on a hippie-commune in Virginia, right now. Itâs been a dream of mine to live a simple, self-reliant lifestyle immersed in nature, since I was a kid. Hoping to leave the farm and head up to the north-wisconsin wilderness, some time this winter (but plans arenât set in stone yet).
Hope everyone is doing well.

Howdy yaâll!! Iâm Don. Been a very simple person most of my life, until money ruined me. Well, I over came that misdirection, and have gone back to my roots. I am caught somewhere between a âDoomsdayerâ and âRewilderâ. This materialistic world disgusts me, and I yearn for the coming cleansing it needs. I truly believe that TEONWAWEK is just around the corner. I have been preparing for sometime, and have transforming my property in the mountains into an off grid, self-sustaining retreat. Most donât understand me, no matter how much I try to get them to open thier eyes. I pity themâŠ
Welcome aboard, new people!
Heya folks.
I want to avoid saying too much about myself here, knowing how often things change, but:
Keith, 22, suburbs of Philadelphia. A couple years ago, my pseudo-religious belief that the world would end turned into a pseudo-scientific belief that maybe just civilization would end. Good news. During that time I went from bomb-shelter survivalist fantasies to permaculture anarcho-primitivist ones. Then I found you guys. I spent some time outside, and now in many ways I view rewilding as a vehicle for self-reliance, the famed aversion of conformity. This community and its members have helped shape my outlook for the better, and it seems fitting to thank you for it in this introduction. Thanks.
My hobbies and interests include banjo, guitar, and carpentry. Iâd like to get into luthiery and gardening. Energy issues interest me a great deal. I admire people who live life like an adventure.
Thanks for the official intro Keith. Good to have you here!
Hi, Iâm seven.
Iâm a college student in great barrington, MA; during the summers I tend to be in south central PA.
I like adventures. And I can juggle. If you ever need to know more than that, just ask ;D
Yay! Another New Englander!

My name is Ethan, I am 22 years old and live in the USofA.
Since I graduated from college in May I have been making long-term plans for my life. I have never really done this because I found being enrolled was a suitable excuse for me not to. Now I am finding my chosen field of study (religion) has little practical application in life outside of school. I am looking into taking horticulture classes at the local community college, though I am dismayed by the programâs focus on ornamental plants and landscaping.
I have never been a fan of the capitalist system, nor most attempts at socialism. For that matter, I have long thought that the Agricultural Revolution was a mistake, but did not come to question civilization until recently. I find sustainability to be a pretty satisfying principle with which to organize my life. I donât know whether it has actually been getting worse, but I am fed up with the corporate green-washing of the past year or so. As if corporate supply chains could possibly be sustainable!
About the time the recession began last Fall/Winter I started reading about survivalism. I have always expected the capitalist system to collapse, but had not ever considered what I would do to prepare for it. Though survivalism appealed to my sense of individualism, it didnât quite satisfy my post-liberal values. A few months ago I read Ishmael, which addressed many of the concerns I had, but lacked the fact-based substance of a non-fiction work. A few weeks ago I chanced upon two zines titled âPost-Civ!â and âPost-Civ!, A Deeper Explorationâ, which can be found at http://www.tangledwilderness.org . These succinct documents describe almost identically the vision I have arrived at, a reconciliation between anarcho-primitivism and the admittedly few good things to have come out of civilization. Currently I am reading Endgame, which I find to be challenging and rewarding.
My plan at present is to learn and implement permacultural techniques. I have been reading up on the relationship between permaculture and rewilding, specifically on Urban Scoutâs blog and Anthropik.
[size=12pt][b]Hello everyone! Hi Urban Scout.

Happy New Year!
With love,

So much useful information here, I had to join. You guys kick ass. I live in Bellingham, WA. I am a member of the Sushi tribe (any other sushi tribe on here?)
I forage plants like Iâm a stoned cow, except I forage roadside meats occasionally, and sometimes even food bank meat. Iâve been studying natural medicine for 10 years, and even just got arrested for growing natural medicine. Iâm currently on the internet avoiding reality because my reality may involve jail time, court fees, and finding my hippie ass a real job (which I could potentially do on the internet).
I believe that the only way to change the world is through good intentions and prayer.
Just kidding! you can put down your spears now. excuse me for trying to be funnyâŠ
intentions can be useful sometimes, but, even Martin Luther King Jr said, âthose who make non-violent revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.â 
Sometimes you just need to defend yourself. If you think youâre a pacifist, or want a better critique of pacifism, please read Pacifism as Pathology by Ward Churchill. Itâll only take an hour and is way easier than getting your privileged head beat in by riot cops.
If any of you come by the Bellingham area, Iâll be posting about some skill shares, and permaculture events, send me a note if you want, lets get wild!
Welcome, Mugwort! The Sushi tribe sounds like it has deliciousness potential, but alas, I have already been taken hostage by the TrollSplinters, damn them all.
Last year there was a skill share near Bellingham and lots of people came. I for one would love to hear more about the events you have planned and I think you may find yourself surprised by the turnout!

PS. I just watched the movie Seven Samurai tonight. Talk about a reversal of pacifist tendencies!
Welcome Mugwort! Ai second the plug for Pacifism as Pathology! And illegal healers.
PIG: WHAT WHAT! Who said that??
