I grew up in the forest, we didn't have electricity, we had everything we needed, i remember my father selling some animal and buy ,salt, sugar, flower, queroze, thinking in going back to that kind of life, this civilized world is a mess😢
its good but i think someones of the power people want us that. More rich for them and less money and pleasure for us. It comes dark times or even two worlds, civil and poor :/ .
Go out to Gaza and see how you like it, it absolutely dark ages living there, and when your children are caught in firestorm from enemy, there is NO medicine or hospital.
It makes me sad to know that here in England you couldn't live this way even if you wanted to. Every square inch of land is owned and exploited, our ancient forests were mostly destroyed long ago. Opting out of the human world isn't an option.
If you love this type of living or just like learning about the style of survival and wilderness skills, look up the documentary from a long time ago called "Snowshoes and Solitude". It follows Les Stroud and his wife as they live in the wilderness for entire year in the same manner, no plastics, no metal. no synthetic clothing.
Another cool documentary to watch if your into ancient survival is tuktu, its narrated through the eyes of a Eskimo boy back in the 40s and it shows all about the Eskimo life, how they build boats, how his father hunts, how his mother sews, its a gem
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.
YES so much so... and she shares that we each have all the potential we need built into us. Of course it is our choice how we use it. Thank you so much. Best hopes for all who feel the connection. I am empowered and inspired and smiling with joy...
So cool that you guys are doing this in my back yard. I am a multi-generational Western Montana native and I can assure you that this is no easy feat, especially in the winter. Food can be very scarce and the temps can easily drop into the negatives, even with modern equipment this is an amazing achievement. 👍
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 the best video I have ever found on RUclips, it demonstrates what I have always felt in my heart is the right way to be is possible. Love to Lynx and the clan!
HOW does this only have 500 likes this woman is amazing I'd love to know if she had somebody teach her how to do all these things or if she just figured it out on her own. Absolutely incredible.
She probably found a lot of teachers along the way. Every town has someone with the basic knowledge. The library has amazing books. And she spent time in the woods
One more thing,she didn't "figure it out on her own" she adapted to the skills passed on by the remnance passed on through the ages from Neanderthal to indigenous tribes..she is not taking she's borrowing the skills which in turn has been passed on over many many years.
I lived with the Yupik Eskimo in Alaska for 4 years and I learned so much from them . Part of their life is modern but a big part is still hunter , gathering.
The skills may not be commonly known, but just like this video, go looking for them, they're there. Many 3rd world countries out there that still use these type of skills daily.
Ive studied and put to use these exact skills. Ive always thought i was born in the wrong time. But also at 43 i think this lifestyle will get old quick. Its constant work.
Inspirational. Thanks for this breath of fresh air. Lynx and Partner are living the dream in my opinion off the grid but can still dip their toes into extreme hunter gatherer and still visit civillisation. Your students are amazing you could literally see how grounded and thoughful in their transformation. The camera work and editing were also amazing. Fantastic.
If I stumbled across your group in a hike, I’d almost think I stumbled upon a long lost tribe… Until the English starts. This is really cool, great skills!
I think the fact that he is homeschooled contributed to his maturity. I have been thru public schools in the USA when I was young. I'd say those schools really hold people back.

Lynx THANK YOU. Your soul embodies the circle of life. Your healing heart, true grit, and light for loving our planet. Your mind holds absolute intentional consciousness. Bless YOU. For taking those of us fortunate to find this film, on your journey.
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.
This video is absolutely inspirational as well as educational. A story of a woman trying to find her community -- learning and teaching along the way. I feel that hole in my chest as she did. . . Feels mostly, to me, like being incomplete. I hope to fill it someday as she has :)
When I think about it, what you are doing here was also done many thousands of years ago in the Rocky Mountains by the indigenous people of North America, the so-called "Indians". This is remarkable and gives rise to very deep feelings and philosophical thoughts. I like this video very much. I live in Sweden and I like the big forests here and the wild rivers and the wild romantic lake. I often think of the times after the ice age when Scandinavia was inhabited from the coast. Sven
Hello, not thousands of years ago, but up to just 200 years ago. Other places in the world just 100 years ago and less in some remote places of Amazon and Africa/ Asia. It is amazing
Thank you for letting us share Lynx’s journey connecting with nature and our Mother Earth. It was so peaceful and calming to watch this documentary and how it changed the lives of those Lynx taught.
Powerful . I’m seeing this at a time when I’m recovering from an accident and my husband I are also growing older with some health problems threatening us if we don’t make some natural and healthy changes. We realize that we may not be able to live totally off -grid, but we are also willing to make some choices so we don’t end up stuck with doctors, drugs, empty materialism . I like how Lynx accepts that sometimes her actions can be part of the problem or part of the solution, and focused on more solutions.
Definitely a healthier way to live, than sitting in a car, or sitting in front of a computer or other screen. I'm in BC, Canada now and go solo camping (with my dog) in the fall and winter because there are usually no other people and no bugs. It's work. You have to cut a lot of firewood. And it's quiet. I don't take a radio and I don't watch my phone. Just sit. I love it.
I've spent alot of time in nature as a hunter and just enjoying it just never took it that far ,it would be great. I'd say I enjoyed this video more than any video I have seen in a long time, Thank you great people.
I'm in New Zealand, I'm learning how to brain tan & bark tan skins to provide natural materials to my family for clothing & whatever other necessities we need. I've been hunting with a crossbow, but i'm going to be hunting with a bow that my brother has made soon, but yeah making your own clothing out of skins you get from animals that you hunt is absolutely incredible. Such an irreplaceable feeling, you feel so grounded and whole.
Good effort 👍 Are crossbows legal in NZ? I've not long got my hands on a compound bow here in Victoria, Aus. It wouldn't surprise me if you will need a license for one soon.
We brain tan here, bark is good too, I mean they say the bark is full of 'tannins' anyhow! Be cautious of chronic wasting disease, they are actually prion disorders and are found in brain matter...
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 think it would be really good for all people to experience the wild outdoors in some way. I mean even when we go camping, especially kids we love it. Pitching your tent, having a wee fire. Cooking over a grill under the moon and stars. You just cant beat it. 🙏
There are several groups calling for the "rewilding" of humans like in this video, to live as we were intended to live at least for a period of our lives.
Matt!!! A man of my own heart and a skill level waaaayyyy beyond mine. I was enjoying the video before you popped in and was learning much respect for the content. You make it that much more educational. Cheers from Texas yall. To everyone
Do your students understand, at their advanced ages, they are learning the children's lessons? This is the way of sight, sound, tactile existence begaining at birth. The resonance from Earth, the stone the wind, trees, this leads to music..... art, philosophy! Teaching , perspective, is the lessons needed! People like you emerge from our civilization in every generation to teach the capitalist that power and money are not the means to all ends. We brothers in heart, THANK you! Full sails and clear seas!
Two years ago. I lived with my sea scout group on an small island off the coast of Victoria. Six weeks of just sleeping in hammocks or on the ground. Sitting by fires or playing with the other kids. It was paradise. We did chores but the work was so small. No work at all really. Just play.
Old now, but got a taste of living our SW Louisiana wild and some of Colorado mountains. Great experiences in a great creation and very close to my Creator.
Absolutely wonderful. It is very nice to see this type of living involving a tribe. I enjoy the primitive skill type videos, but find them lacking realism in that humans are social creatures. They don't thrive alone. This is very well done and I would love the experience.
Wow. Im blown away. Best documentary since la belle verde. What a crazy world we live in. I'm constantly trying to keep my balance, living between worlds and loving every moment of it ❣️
😮 at the beginning of the show lynx explains how she felt before she started this.. I 100% feel the same way.. Never been able to get rid of that big hole.. What she does now, today.. Is exactly the way I've always wanted to live.❤ I feel we are both cut from the same cloth. 😊
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.
I enjoyed watching this despite that we only get to see the flowery moments which at times left me questioning how authentic this is...? those skins looked very clean to me ! Also it's always middle class people traveling the world and setting up very beautiful living spaces , jumping from ''both worlds'' which is a real shame because in truth to dedicate yourself takes money to do so . However even if its half true I applaud all involved ....be great to see some working class young people getting in touch with the earth and there true selves . much love
Thats always the Thing - it is a privilege and probably cost intensive to do yourself. But isnt that crazy, that buying from the supermarket is for everyone and bring in nature is for people that have a certain status? If we All would pay more to conserve our wilderness (not see it as undevelopped land) we had more of it to be spenden time in ...at least in Germany the space is very little
I kind of agree with you, but part of my job is trying to get the local benefits people out into the park and it is difficult! There are apple trees on the estate and they won't touch them, there are apples all over the floor every autumn. They throw stuff away before it's finished and they're not happy with anything not new and wrapped in plastic. So it's an attitude thing not just money
Hi Kira how do you mean ''all would pay more '' ? In Britain most of our wilderness or so called is divided into endless walking paths populated by dog walkers . Scotland is better with the right to roam/wild camp policy . However its also tough going with the weather ! Yes it is crazy, we are more mad than ever !@@kira-im-einklang
@@RydgwyseRuralMassage-vv5ml I just think we all would need to spend more money when more bature is preserved. Sinne the state has to Keeper it untouched and this does not bring in money as forest harvesters would. So we need to be willing to pay more taxes that are dedicated to this
well there's a few people on low income that do connect with nature and common sense, who haven't been completely hoodwinked by mass material consumption and label status self esteem ! however when those few rock up to the middle class ''spiritual'' communities they can be just a bit to real , oh sorry authentic !! l mean not always and not all comunties , some actualy are spiritual , guided by spirit , rather than by class and culture.... goodluck !
Fantastic, I cried watching this not from sorrow but joy, I would rather sleep under a tree than indoors. More people should get closer to our world and experience Mother Nature.

Potešil som sa vášmu videu a životnému štýlu. Pozdravujem zo Slovenska. Aj ja hľadám a mám túžbu nájsť v tomto rýchlom a modernom svete múdrosť a rovnováhu. Príroda je úžasný dar, ktorý sme prestali vnímať a z neho čerpať. Prajem Vám veľa úspechov.
This is one of the best back to nature that I've seen. Lynx is awesome. It could be said with these self learned lessons, when all else has fallen you may be the last surviving to being us back to the civilization that offers the comfort and ease we have come to enjoy
Fantastic video. That last shot felt like a jarring, hellish landscape when it showed up on screen which is a testament to how transportive this documentary was.
Jestem Polakiem i pamiętam czasy jeszcze 35 lat temu życie i gospodarka w Polsce była naprawdę oparta na samowystarczalnosci. Produkty rolne były ekologiczne i sprzedawane lokalnie w małych sklepach i rzeźniach! A obecnie to zło z USA krwiorzercze korporacje zniszczyły tą metodę gospodarowania!
Amazing story, learning old skills, and living closer to our past. Learning the real basic needs to survive not for a short time but for all time. Thank you.
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
If this is in the PNW , I would like to go into the wilderness for awhile again. And get out of the city into nature and just enjoy the wild and it's bounty. I grew up in both. The wild is my heart home. Thank you for this wonderful adventure. ❤🔱
Nature makes you humble and appreciate the little things in life. Being respectful to yourself, others, the wilderness, the animals, and most of all, the creator above all else!
I'm far from this 'lifestyle'. I live alone, off-grid in the mountains, but I'm vegan and grow vegetables & fruit. I'm learning more about the animals & birds & my relationships with them. The wild pigs used to dig up my lawn (yes, I have some lawn as opposed to long grass, so I can walk around easily) They still come around, but seem to respect my space more these days. Deer however are sneaky. They come at night & treat my flower gardens as a smorgasbord. My vege gardens I fenced, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
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. 🙏🌞🐠⭐️🙏 X. Paulorado
Really cool story and well shot. Especially at the end. Humanity is completely maladpated to this modern lifestyle and it is only going to lead to further problems untill a systemwide collspe.

Really cool doco I found the last scene walking through the supermarket very strong. I grew up on a small meat farm in Australia. I grew up raising and slaughtering livestock. That grew into hunting as I came of age. The thing that has always struck me as odd is that people are fine to get get a pack of meat at the shops but are squeamish to the reality of where it comes from. When you take a life yourself it does give u such a deeper connection to the animal. You appreciate that meat 1000 times more than pre packaged shop meat. Awesome I'd love to give this sort of journy
Fascinating! I teach modern day survival skills and there's a huge yawning gap of skills lost that we need to reckaim. Excellent work lynx and tribe....
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.

Same case with Here, Government and mafia occupy the Land, no more freedom for Peoples😢😢😢
So that's why the many forebearers went across the ocean... to finally see their own core again, and meet what was long lost within.
Same in Australia... can't do it here either. She's one smart lucky woman. Good on her for listening to herself

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.
This video is absolutely inspirational as well as educational. A story of a woman trying to find her community -- learning and teaching along the way. I feel that hole in my chest as she did. . .
Feels mostly, to me, like being incomplete. I hope to fill it someday as she has :)
This video certainly opens ones eyes as to what really matters in life. What an amazing woman. Thank you so much for sharing your experience
When I think about it, what you are doing here was also done many thousands of years ago in the Rocky Mountains by the indigenous people of North America, the so-called "Indians". This is remarkable and gives rise to very deep feelings and philosophical thoughts. I like this video very much. I live in Sweden and I like the big forests here and the wild rivers and the wild romantic lake. I often think of the times after the ice age when Scandinavia was inhabited from the coast. Sven
Hello, not thousands of years ago, but up to just 200 years ago. Other places in the world just 100 years ago and less in some remote places of Amazon and Africa/ Asia. It is amazing

Thank you for letting us share Lynx’s journey connecting with nature and our Mother Earth. It was so peaceful and calming to watch this documentary and how it changed the lives of those Lynx taught.
This is definitely something I wish I could have done 40 years ago!
Powerful . I’m seeing this at a time when I’m recovering from an accident and my husband I are also growing older with some health problems threatening us if we don’t make some natural and healthy changes. We realize that we may not be able to live totally off -grid, but we are also willing to make some choices so we don’t end up stuck with doctors, drugs, empty materialism . I like how Lynx accepts that sometimes her actions can be part of the problem or part of the solution, and focused on more solutions.
Definitely a healthier way to live, than sitting in a car, or sitting in front of a computer or other screen. I'm in BC, Canada now and go solo camping (with my dog) in the fall and winter because there are usually no other people and no bugs. It's work. You have to cut a lot of firewood. And it's quiet. I don't take a radio and I don't watch my phone. Just sit. I love it.
this was fantastic to watch thankyou to everyone involved in the making of it... would love to see more 👏
I've spent alot of time in nature as a hunter and just enjoying it just never took it that far ,it would be great. I'd say I enjoyed this video more than any video I have seen in a long time, Thank you great people.
Very beautiful, thanks for sharing your inspiring journey, and the genuineness of your hearts. It was an honor to follow along. ❤
I'm in New Zealand, I'm learning how to brain tan & bark tan skins to provide natural materials to my family for clothing & whatever other necessities we need. I've been hunting with a crossbow, but i'm going to be hunting with a bow that my brother has made soon, but yeah making your own clothing out of skins you get from animals that you hunt is absolutely incredible. Such an irreplaceable feeling, you feel so grounded and whole.
Good effort 👍
Are crossbows legal in NZ? I've not long got my hands on a compound bow here in Victoria, Aus. It wouldn't surprise me if you will need a license for one soon.
Not on any DoC land unfortunately
We brain tan here, bark is good too, I mean they say the bark is full of 'tannins' anyhow! Be cautious of chronic wasting disease, they are actually prion disorders and are found in brain matter...
No CJD in NZ
I learned how to make buckskin and I really enjoyed it. Lots of work.
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.
One of the most amazing video/story ive seen. Thank you.
"I wanna create my own story." Excellent! That is really living.
I think it would be really good for all people to experience the wild outdoors in some way. I mean even when we go camping, especially kids we love it. Pitching your tent, having a wee fire. Cooking over a grill under the moon and stars. You just cant beat it. 🙏
There are several groups calling for the "rewilding" of humans like in this video, to live as we were intended to live at least for a period of our lives.
Matt!!! A man of my own heart and a skill level waaaayyyy beyond mine. I was enjoying the video before you popped in and was learning much respect for the content. You make it that much more educational. Cheers from Texas yall. To everyone
What are you talking about?
Living like this, means a lot know about nature around us.
Nature is the gift that keeps on giving.💚🌼
Do your students understand, at their advanced ages, they are learning the children's lessons? This is the way of sight, sound, tactile existence begaining at birth. The resonance from Earth, the stone the wind, trees, this leads to music..... art, philosophy! Teaching , perspective, is the lessons needed! People like you emerge from our civilization in every generation to teach the capitalist that power and money are not the means to all ends. We brothers in heart, THANK you! Full sails and clear seas!
i grew up in the forest to i miss that time..full of adventure every day.
Two years ago. I lived with my sea scout group on an small island off the coast of Victoria. Six weeks of just sleeping in hammocks or on the ground. Sitting by fires or playing with the other kids. It was paradise. We did chores but the work was so small. No work at all really. Just play.
Old now, but got a taste of living our SW Louisiana wild and some of Colorado mountains. Great experiences in a great creation and very close to my Creator.
Absolutely wonderful. It is very nice to see this type of living involving a tribe. I enjoy the primitive skill type videos, but find them lacking realism in that humans are social creatures. They don't thrive alone. This is very well done and I would love the experience.
Love it!
Wow. Im blown away. Best documentary since la belle verde.
What a crazy world we live in. I'm constantly trying to keep my balance, living between worlds and loving every moment of it ❣️
😮 at the beginning of the show lynx explains how she felt before she started this..
I 100% feel the same way..
Never been able to get rid of that big hole..
What she does now, today..
Is exactly the way I've always wanted to live.❤
I feel we are both cut from the same cloth.
😊
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.
I enjoyed watching this despite that we only get to see the flowery moments which at times left me questioning how authentic this is...? those skins looked very clean to me !
Also it's always middle class people traveling the world and setting up very beautiful living spaces , jumping from ''both worlds'' which is a real shame because in truth to dedicate yourself takes money to do so . However even if its half true I applaud all involved ....be great to see some working class young people getting in touch with the earth and there true selves . much love
Thats always the Thing - it is a privilege and probably cost intensive to do yourself. But isnt that crazy, that buying from the supermarket is for everyone and bring in nature is for people that have a certain status? If we All would pay more to conserve our wilderness (not see it as undevelopped land) we had more of it to be spenden time in ...at least in Germany the space is very little
I kind of agree with you, but part of my job is trying to get the local benefits people out into the park and it is difficult! There are apple trees on the estate and they won't touch them, there are apples all over the floor every autumn. They throw stuff away before it's finished and they're not happy with anything not new and wrapped in plastic. So it's an attitude thing not just money
Hi Kira how do you mean ''all would pay more '' ?
In Britain most of our wilderness or so called is divided into endless walking paths populated by dog walkers . Scotland is better with the right to roam/wild camp policy . However its also tough going with the weather ! Yes it is crazy, we are more mad than ever !@@kira-im-einklang
@@RydgwyseRuralMassage-vv5ml I just think we all would need to spend more money when more bature is preserved. Sinne the state has to Keeper it untouched and this does not bring in money as forest harvesters would. So we need to be willing to pay more taxes that are dedicated to this
well there's a few people on low income that do connect with nature and common sense, who haven't been completely hoodwinked by mass material consumption and label status self esteem ! however when those few rock up to the middle class ''spiritual'' communities they can be just a bit to real , oh sorry authentic !! l mean not always and not all comunties , some actualy are spiritual , guided by spirit , rather than by class and culture.... goodluck !
Fantastic, I cried watching this not from sorrow but joy, I would rather sleep under a tree than indoors. More people should get closer to our world and experience Mother Nature.

Potešil som sa vášmu videu a životnému štýlu. Pozdravujem zo Slovenska. Aj ja hľadám a mám túžbu nájsť v tomto rýchlom a modernom svete múdrosť a rovnováhu. Príroda je úžasný dar, ktorý sme prestali vnímať a z neho čerpať. Prajem Vám veľa úspechov.
Bardzo podobne języki. Wszystko zrozumiałem, co napisałeś. Pozdrawiam.
I would love to immerse into this awakening adventure with the guidance of Lynx.
This is one of the best back to nature that I've seen. Lynx is awesome. It could be said with these self learned lessons, when all else has fallen you may be the last surviving to being us back to the civilization that offers the comfort and ease we have come to enjoy
The best way into the universe is thru a forest wilderness.. good job team !! Appreciation for all the things we have !
Fantastic video. That last shot felt like a jarring, hellish landscape when it showed up on screen which is a testament to how transportive this documentary was.
Awesome story and what a contrasting experience being created for people, fantastic, thanks for sharing! 👍
Jestem Polakiem i pamiętam czasy jeszcze 35 lat temu życie i gospodarka w Polsce była naprawdę oparta na samowystarczalnosci. Produkty rolne były ekologiczne i sprzedawane lokalnie w małych sklepach i rzeźniach! A obecnie to zło z USA krwiorzercze korporacje zniszczyły tą metodę gospodarowania!
This is such a beautiful documentary. Thank you!
What an incredible film. What an incredible woman !
Amazing! thank you for this adventure, an amazing film
Amazing story, learning old skills, and living closer to our past. Learning the real basic needs to survive not for a short time but for all time. Thank you.
It would be super interesting to make a a Caribbean tropics version of this master class. Thanks for this.
just fish and grow avocados and greens.
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
Thank you for sharing, beautiful kindred souls!
Beautiful, inspiring, and mind opening for those who got completely lost in technology and consumption.
You'll be prepared. I have been saying for years they are going to set us back to the stone age.
If this is in the PNW ,
I would like to go into the wilderness for awhile again. And get out of the city into nature and just enjoy the wild and it's bounty.
I grew up in both.
The wild is my heart home.
Thank you for this wonderful adventure.
❤🔱
Its great to see young people doing this. Lynx is a gift to the world, bless her .we need more people like her ❤
Nature makes you humble and appreciate the little things in life. Being respectful to yourself, others, the wilderness, the animals, and most of all, the creator above all else!
I'm far from this 'lifestyle'. I live alone, off-grid in the mountains, but I'm vegan and grow vegetables & fruit.
I'm learning more about the animals & birds & my relationships with them. The wild pigs used to dig up my lawn (yes, I have some lawn as opposed to long grass, so I can walk around easily)
They still come around, but seem to respect my space more these days. Deer however are sneaky. They come at night & treat my flower gardens as a smorgasbord.
My vege gardens I fenced, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
I really dug the film and totally support the need to understand the true meaning of survival.. Great work.
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.
🙏🌞🐠⭐️🙏

there are plenty of the Natives still living on reservations. Have you tried to work with them to reconnect with their heritage?
THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A PART 2 OF THIS IN 2023! WHAT YEAR WAS THIS VIDEO SHOT? I WANT TO KNOW IF THE SURVIVAL CLASSES ARE STILL GOING? 😀
2013 it was filmed
This was wonderful, eye-opening and just, so real. Thank you for doing this, thank you for showing us who we truly are. 🙏
living in the heart of mighty karakuram ranges i can feel how greatly your soul is enlighted back to stone age real inspiration most amazing life !
super dope last scene. very surreal, demanding of empathy. great piece this video is. thank you
Really cool story and well shot. Especially at the end. Humanity is completely maladpated to this modern lifestyle and it is only going to lead to further problems untill a systemwide collspe.
Absolutely inspirational and one of the most interesting films I have seen here on YT!
Grateful for your film. Truly hope to see more of Lynx.
yes please!!!!
Unfortunately this was made 10 years ago by some random French dude. No idea if this channel "borrowed" the film or have rights to share it as their own
But Lynx is still doing these classes. So that's cool 😊
I recognized Matt's voice right away. Cool dude.
Lynx, I miss your face! Thanks for sharing a little part of your life and teaching me some different skills and way of life. Love you
This documentary is amazing. Insightful. I hope I can do their same in Patagonia soon.
I give everyone of you total respect for giving it a go a shot at real life
older i get the more i realise how fragile and disconnected from nature we have become, physically and emotionally

Mat haven’t seen him in a minute. 1 of the best survival shows.
Brilliant -- Just brilliant
Traveling through time... And mostly smiling, (Almost cryin'.) pretty much... Thank you
Really cool doco
I found the last scene walking through the supermarket very strong.
I grew up on a small meat farm in Australia. I grew up raising and slaughtering livestock.
That grew into hunting as I came of age.
The thing that has always struck me as odd is that people are fine to get get a pack of meat at the shops but are squeamish to the reality of where it comes from.
When you take a life yourself it does give u such a deeper connection to the animal. You appreciate that meat 1000 times more than pre packaged shop meat. Awesome I'd love to give this sort of journy
Everyone should experience hunting at least once.
I'm a hunter fisherman and traper
Fascinating! I teach modern day survival skills and there's a huge yawning gap of skills lost that we need to reckaim. Excellent work lynx and tribe....
Makes me wish I were there
feel the same.
There is indeed a primal draw to return to simplicity and away from the world of insignificant circles and constant distraction
This was beautiful, thank you! It’s how we were meant to live, infused with nature ; with love & respect for it and all life. 🍃🕊️🌌
The contrast at the end! Wow. Those artificial colours almost hurt after your eyes had adjusted to the soft brown shades of nature.
51:12 "Sometimes I'm part of the problem, sometimes I'm part of the solution." I really like that.
How do i sign up for an adventure like this! That sounds like an amazing experience!
Wow.... i can feel that raw power just imaging be in a tribe like this..
Amazing 👏 ❤
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.
