Week25: Laundry List A Wash
I’ve decided to quit that stupid laundry list bullshit. It seems that everytime I make up a list, I end up throwing it away and doing other stuff. So I have decided to throw it away! I spent most of this week out in the suburbs/country where my mother and step dad live. They have…

Resistance in Rewilding
When I think of “resistance movements” I envision a small group of people resisting against a much larger and all-powerful militarized machine.

Ask Urban Scout #5: Assume Nothing A-hole!
Dear Scout, I’ve kept track of you for quite a while now, following along until tonight when I read that article about you and thought I was going to be sick. I would have been furious if someone wrote that shit about me, but instead you seem to be enamored with the size of her…

Relieve Stress, Stomach Cramps and… Herpes!
During the Portland Rewild Camp I felt anxiety about the ever-approaching nuclear disaster in Portland referred to as “Operation Noble Resolve.” Luckily Penny Scout; tracker of plants, showed me the great calming effects of Lemon Balm, a familiar friend you can find in practically anyones yard here in Portland.

This week Penny and I decided to scrap our list so we could scrape our hide. We let the deer hide soak in a bucket of water for a couple days, changing the water daily. This supposedly makes the hair come out easier when you scrape it. People also put ash in with the…
