    Over the past twenty years, Lynx, a 45-year-old woman, has lived in the forests in North-West America. She gradually abandoned modern civilization and learnt how to live using prehistoric survival skills. Every year, she passes on her knowledge and skills to a group of people from all over the world. For five months, they learn how to relinquish modern goods, of plastic and metal for example, replacing them with leather, wood and flint, like in Stone Age. Then, without tents, flashlights, sleeping bags, knives or matches, and dressed and equipped only with what they’ve made themselves, they go into the wild for a month to simply try and survive.
    No one ever comes back the same person from this kind of journey. This documentary isn’t merely an adventure into some of the most beautiful landscapes of America. It is also, and more specifically, an intimate portrait of each of the ten participants, all from different social, professional and geographical backgrounds. As this unique experience unfolds, they learn about themselves, and maybe find answers to questions we all ask ourselves: Where is this “consumer” world we live in heading? What should our essential values be?

    Lynx is a gift. To have that knowledge and pass it down in such an obviously compassionate way is a treasure. She transfers her experiential knowledge and then gives them the space to absorb and act on that transfer. I truly hope some of her students will be able to transfer this knowledge to the next generation in the same manner. Then her job will come full circle as it did before her.

      What is really important in this "messed up world"?
      Being able to survive without a cell phone? I'm doing that.
      Being able to find food without supermarkets? I'm doing that?
      Understanding and loving nature? Yeah, I do.
      But you see, I can also thrive in the city and still have a sense of fulfillment.
      Running away and hiding in the wilderness is not an especially admirable thing to do.

      ​​@@timhallas4275I disagree. You have some kind of technology to be able to watch this. Watching TV is just as sick as using a cell phone. Running away from society is an extremely admiral thing to do. And it takes a very special kind of person these days. Staying in the rat race of society is way too easy and a cop out. Humans are lazy, especially Americans. We are a sick, messed up nation. I'd much rather survive and thrive in the forest than call myself a citizen of America. Unfortunately the system has a sick way of keeping people down and out so they can never find their way back to a more natural and healthy way of living unless they can pull themselves away from running water, electricity, technology and learn what it takes to really be human.

This is remarkable and gives rise to very deep feelings and philosophical thoughts. I like this video very much.

    I think the best way to describe this documentary is just the word “ beautiful”. Its beautiful how much each person learns from this project. its beautiful how much each person grows as a person. Its beautiful the comparison of the wild life compared to the civilised life, when in fact the modern life is actually the wild life.

    i also started questioning life right around the same age in the late 90's. When i moved rural about 9 years ago i felt much better but theres still something missing, i almost feel like i want to work to survive not work for money to then buy it all. Growing my own food, building my own shelter, finding my own water source, etc.

    Dear Lynx and John, It is good to see you are living well. Your tribe is the many people who's lives you have improved through your enthusiasm and teaching, even if only for a day. You once taught me how to soften a bear hide, and a pair of buffalo sandals. Now you teach me how to make a discoidal blade through John's video. My friend Audrey from Arctic village, taught me to make "dried meat" It was fun to see her skill as she had done this a thousand times. For anyone interested: flute a Clovis point by sandwiching it flat between two haves of a 12-15cm split stick. Heavier wood adsorbs the end-shock. Grind the split sides flat on sandstone or sidewalk, both halves. Two little buttons of wood are pitch-glued onto each half at one end ( they hold the point on either side of the fluting platform), four buttons total. Wrap the point tight at the tip and the base with cordage a few times, before removing the basal flakes. The DNA tells us the descendants of some Clovis People are now Australian Aborigines, others live in France. So much for appropriation! The spirit of this video is wonderful. The conundrum of "the two worlds" is so true. "There shall be a new earth, and the old one shall pass away". It is hard to see our earth in such bad shape and to be so disconnected from our roots.

      You're in the tropics, most of this is irrelevant in such a warm, lively place. Just learn how to weave fibers/palm leaves, scavange the coasts, fish, identify local poisonous critters and process coconuts. Then, slow down. Most people wish they were in such a beautiful place, full of life. Good luck!

    WOW. so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this video and for the effort it took to create it. And of course, thank you to everyone who was involved in the survival troupe. So inspiring to see people living this way. I, like so many in these times, have realized some of the same things that were spoken about in this film concerning the modern world and it's deep rooted separateness from the natural world, that pit in the gut. And I feel so drawn to live closer to this way, in harmony with the elementals. Again, thank you so much for sharing this. Let's hope humanity doesn't wait till we are forced to live this way again, and instead we are proactive in our daily lives to reduce waste, appreciate resources, grow our own foods, and live more simply and in alignment with nature. DEEP BOW OF GRATITUDE

  • @tatiananaugolnykh

    The line is to have balance in everything - the modern social standards/demands are always against the balance between a physical and a spiritual worlds. If you are alive physically, seek your spiritual salvation, and you will find your healing, too. Any disconnection from nature will cause an illness. Good Luck on your journey and stay awesome because you can be better always.

    I purchased a property in Colorado recently coming up from the bay area originally from Los Angeles. 5 acres of property that the Indians once lived on. I feel that they are still there. There are artifacts and signs of them everywhere I can see why they chose this place. It was a gift given to me through my father from our father. I am so connected to this land I can’t even tell you in words, but you can see it in my eyes, hear it from my heart understand it from my soul.
    What you are doing is awesome . it confirms my feelings and values for the mountains of Colorado, and for mankind itself. We spend so much time on frivolous things, thoughts and actions. we fight with ourselves with keys and security, and alarms to hide us from our frights fears and phobias.
    We are blinded by a manufactured world, and can rarely see the light . The more hours I put into my job and civilization. The more I find it’s civilization that’s killing me. I long for spring, I long for the days to return to the mountains of Colorado to build on my property to hunt to fish to gather, and to build my structure and restructure my peace of mind. But after seeing your video, I will have a different mindset on the things that really matter and love life even more you are brilliant thank you for your wisdom. Thanks for showing me the path. you’re doing the right thing and you are so correct on so many levels.
    They may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.

    I am an old man Now but when I was young my partner and I went into the AK wilderness and lived. It was a difficult adjustment but we lived and prospered, coming out years later with a family (9 children) all born in the woods. We had no rules, only one to live, It took years to become what we became, alive and free.

    This is a masterpiece. I recently walked the Hadrian's wall and camped along the way and that seemed savage at times haha though that was all part of the experience, I think about how we were using everything gortex and so on, lightweight too, and how hypocritical it feels to have these things to go into nature - I'm going to have to make that stuff last

    Interesting to hear how each participant transmits and feels the experience, one thing´s for sure regarding age or nationality going back to the roots will always give a different prespective on life. I personally don´t live this lifestyle however I moved out of California back in 2008 and never looked back, been living rent and mortgage free ever since.
