Well, as it turns out, I don’t have the means nor the energy to continue this project. At least not in this form of a blog. My inspiration has waned for keeping this space active for the time at hand. I will still work on projects such as videos and writings and events and classes and such, just not as much writing as I have done in the past year and a half. Thanks to everyone who supported me through this endeavor. Unfortunately, I have no money and must return to the civilized world to make my living. I never made enough money through classes, tips, google ads, amazon sales, etc. to sustain myself in this project and so I plan to turn to more capitalist ventures in order to make a living so that I can rewild. I’d like to own land someday, which requires a “real job” in order to make the kind of money necessary for purchase and maintenance of such a place. I will take down the chapters in my book soon and put up a downloadable PDF for a small amount of money as I try to shop it around to publishers. I plan to work on a video series entitled, “Earth Skills Are Easy” that I will also have available for purchase on this site at some time in the future. Of course, all that depends on how much time I spend at my real job. This doesn’t mean that I will spend less time rewilding, but less time sharing my rewilding with all of you. Thanks again for all your support. I will return!
Keep on Rewilding,
Scout

Aww. I’ll miss you.
Good luck, you hot stuff. We will miss ya!
Best wishes to you. You will be missed by many.
Dear Scout,
Thank you for all that you have imparted.
Good Luck with your ventures, that they will enable you to continue to do, what you truly wish to do.
Will miss you as well, and will look forward to your return.
Hugs, Christine
Good luck Scout…and thanks for all the fish.
maybe i’ve hit the path more recently than you but this is how it’s worked out for me…
you gotta get out of the city! find a commune or piece of property out in the country somewhere, move on past babylon. she’ll only let you play so much before she slaps you back into compliance. if you can find somewhere big enough to sneak around behind her back with your lifeway, you’ll find it a lot easier going than running around in the city.
if it’s family you’re worried about, we exist. you gotta find us out though. we’re busy staying hidden for the same reasons. think of coyotes howling in the night, unseen but alive.
don’t give up on an entire beautiful way of life just because you’re broke. and don’t let babylon suck you back into her dark cunt with enticing lies of warmth and security. there is less security here than anywhere your mother can give.
so let not the vision die, friend.
a delicate baby, a frail elder it is. gotta tend and give it life at each moment now that it may not pass forever.
and please do what you want.
in love,
lopikro
Best of luck, Scout. I’ll be in touch!
Damn, first Jason now you Scout…I guess this means, god forbid, I actually GET OUTSIDE to learn about rewilding. If only the concrete outside didn’t feel so brutal.
Best of luck, Scout.
I don’t believe you.
Well Scout? Will the truth soon unfold?
Hugs, Christine
You must study the science of community rather than doing it alone. Read “Walden Two”. It’s not about going primitive. It’s about avoiding money.
I want to be in show. I can hold boommike.
damn Scout! Its about time eh? how bout an intercontinental tribal connection? Ill tell my tribe all about yours we should make the same symbols on the pottery we make and scientist in ages yup ahead will scratch their heads figuring how we’d cross that distance.
Take care !
sankofa!
Keep blogging. People make the mistake of thinking they are going to make whoa amounts of money off a blog in the first six months or so–that’s just not true. Keep at it. Just write about your day to day shit as pertains to rewilding. Work a regular job too, you’ve got to keep yourself alive and Quinn was at least right about the hallmark of our culture being that the food’s locked up (and the shelter, and the clothes, and…), so you gotta cover that.
But don’t quit blogging. Sooner or later you’ll hit that critical mass.
Also, have you thought about writing for Squidoo? That might bring revenue a bit sooner. Let me dig around and see if they do referrals, if you’re interested.
