    The "live from a rucksack" can get REALLY powerful if you've got 4-10 friends along with rucksacks. That gives more overall space to include shared pots, pans, tarps, stoves, food, etc while still allowing everyone space for their limited personals. Learned that canoeing in Canada in the 80s.

    Hey Tom. Greetings from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I spent 25 years in a Military Uniform and have been thrown into many stressful situations. Some people turn to booze or narcotics to deal with it. Some do choose suicide. I have lost several people I served with to suicide. God knows there are things I experienced that will never truly go away. How do you deal with it? I really do believe we who dwell in modern society have lost our connection with many things. I was dealing with some heavy spiritual and mental issues. First thing I learned was there are three types of health. Mental, physical and spiritual. In today's world, modern society seems to steer people away from the spiritual part of being a human. I think that plays a lot into our society. A few years ago I was working on a Reservation in Montana. It was there, with my Crow Co-Workers, I discovered my spiritual health was neglected. My friends I made on the reservation inspired me. I started a journey of balance and self exploration. I started in my late 50s but...its never too late. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.

    a huge problem for the average American is the wildly unbalanced work/life balance. We tend to get away from work very little, what time off we get is usually filled with completing other necessary tasks. Myself I get about 3-4 weekends a year to do things i actually want to do or enjoy doing. I know many have even less than that. Americans tend to brag about how 'hard working' we are, but it has gone way beyond healthy levels. Our mental health has obviously suffered in part due to this, evidenced by the mental health crises our nation seems to be suffering. Thank you for this. Hopefully your voice will be part of a change for the better.

      As far as the "mental health crisis", there's certainly that f4sc!st-capitalist slaveload, but there's also everything else crumbling on top of it. F4sc!sm, multiple ongoing g3noc!des both domestic (trans folks, disabled folks) and abroad (Pal🍉estine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray, and more), all paid for with our tax dollars, toxic colon !alism, drought, no one can afford groceries anymore, not even the fake groceries with roundup in it (which is almost all that's available), and there's this ongoing eug3nic!st campaign to keep c0 vid around for as long as possible, to the point that it's now comparable to HIV, 95% of 'mericans that go out refuse to mask or acknowledge reality at all, to the point of sudden and extreme violence from some if you even mention c0 vid, and then there's the perpetual gaslighting from just about every screen, newspaper, and radio station.

    I have read some psychology at undergrad level. It was found that people living in cities are far more likely to have depression than those in towns, and those in towns were worse off than villages. Further research was done. The main factor was how much time people were exposed to plants and trees etc. It's been narrowed to sky blue and the green of chlorophyll hitting the eyes. Just sitting in a vehicle looking at trees in the countryside makes a small difference. Actually getting out and walking through a small woodlands makes a bigger difference. Going barefoot on grass also helps.

      I actually graduated and I can tell you that the main factor of depression sure tf isn't trees.
      Pro Tip: Don't drink the kool-aid. Just because they painted a flashy, empty label like "undergrad" on it doesn't actually mean anything of substance at all. Aside from it's likely to be bullsht, and guaranteed to be bullsht if it's coming from a pseudoscience like western "psychology".

    • @StrawmnMcPerson

      Maybe we'd all be less depressed if we weren't forced to live in such openly antihuman non-ways regardless of choice or consent for generations while watching a handful of robber barons burn our planet alive and if you ever stop smiling about it they'll find a way to lock you up? Maybe that's more relevant. Maybe that's exactly why they focused on colors instead.

      While it's good to know rationalist/reductionist science is finally getting around to studies like the one you mention, I'm here to suggest there's much more going on for our senses than sight alone. Breathing the air, clean, oxygen rich air, scenting the green, (or even the wet brown of fallen leaves after it rains) is SO uplifting. And what did you have to do to get there? You had to walk, you had to move. The sounds of the forest are many! Wind in the trees, birds and insects singing.
      I don't know about you, but my mother sent my brother and I out of the house and at least into the yard daily, even in winter (at least for shorter time). We were 'lucky' enough to live in smaller suburbs. It was never more than 2 blocks to wilder places.

    Thats actually on to something, we aren't adapted to deal with modern issues, and our mental health is lowered. I have always said, people 100 years ago, could go out and work all day, doing enough or more to keep them and their family, sheltered, warm, and full bellys. And when we came in in the evenings, we had a sense of accomplishment, and one's mind would have peace. But now, going out and working 8 to 12 hours 5 to 6 days a week, and coming home and still being worried about if you were going to be able to pay all the bills, keep the car running, a roof over your head and the lights on, is a constant stste of stress and people cannot sustain it without serious mental and health problems.

    You really hit the nail on the head. I have noticed that alot of people I talk to that those that spend some time out in the wild, learn skills have a much healthier outlook on life. I think Knowing that one has the skills to take care of them selves gives one confidence. I myself have been a self reliance person my hole life, hunting, trapping, fishing, farming, carpentry, mason work, black smithing, knife smithing, camping, woodsman, preper, survivalist , ect.. ect.. Through living this way I tend to be able to hand alot of things that most ppl lose their minds over. I very much suggest for people to get out in the wild, live, learn. It will change everyones world

    In connection to channeling anxiety and fight/flight into flow, I have to strongly recommend grappling as an invaluable part of martial art. Judo, jiujitsu, wrestling, etc, just find what's available in your town and start training. You absolutely will learn to breathe and enter flow-state under pressure (often literal pressure). Resiliency is mandatory, you will have many, many opportunities to try, try again. And hey, it's hard to be burdened with the cares of the world when you're defending against a choke. It's also a very social activity, great way to make connections. It's not for everyone, but if you haven't tried it you should!

    I started with a surplus wwii backpack. It gets mostly used as my hunting pack. I have a wild organic natural food forest. Thought about maybe taking a deer stalking trip to Scotland. Too many deer not enough predators. My rifle weights over 10 lbs and my old 1994 oneida bow 8 lbs. I do a lot of muzzle loader hunting too. You can legal take/import a black powder gun into most countries too. Even Mexico that has super strict gun laws that don't work. Here sales of most hunting and fishing license have decreased. All though we do have a growing amount of bear hunters. Think that is because bear population explosion.

    Trying to get a black bear to make a coat. May go with a coyote hood. Water, food, shelter, first aid/medications, means of defense, and a plan. I am gonna try bog tanning a hide. Building an earth ship design cottage no tires, or berm. I go camping 9-14 days 4-3 times a year. I get a bear tag ever other year. I mostly bow hunt deer. I hand dug my concrete block piers 6 feet down to hard pack. No berm because 6 foot frost depths. Made my own snow shoes. I find pilates really helps. One should be able to handle their own body weight. Start with a backpack and end with a homestead.

I am a senior in not the best health but have been talking with others on my age group and hear it more and more how ppl have quit watching tv, tuned out the news and have basically withdrew from society just to maintain their peace of mind. Here in the US things are a mess politics, border problems, social problems, poverty, and all we are trying to do is survive. I’ve experienced some mental health issues, primarily depression but have been able to pull myself out of that hole. Going to honestly take a hard look into your video series, peace be with you.

    Great thought provoking video Tom and I love the way you presented it. One thing that growing people are missing today, is 'normal, natural' stress. By this I mean, natural threats like shelter and hunger, or threats from wild animals. All our needs are provided for, and in the present 'Nanyism' that is rife in our society, the outlets for a young person to prove themselves, are very limited.
    I am 73 years young now and grew up in a time where we were left to make our own fun OUTSIDE the house and there were no rubber grounded playgrounds around. We went fishing, making cubby houses, toy bows and arrows and shot these blunt arrows at each other, had stick fights and wrestled and all our mothers did was tut-tut and patch us up. Now the cops would be called! 😅 Sure we took skin off and there was rarely a broken bone and we weren't made to wear helmets and joint guards to PROTECT us. We all went camping and fishing on holidays and learned useful stuff! like how to be self reliant.
    Now my daughters families take their families camping and stuff, because they were taught young.
    I think you are doing a great job of educating people in life skills and hope you can continue to do so. 👏👏👏👏👏

    Another resilience method is to accept dying and death, easier said than done, maybe only doable with faith in some religion, even then very difficult maybe impossible, a friend of my mother who passed away was a very religious woman but still clinged hard to life and underwent therapies which drastically reduced her quality of life.

  • @TheSaneHatter
    @TheSaneHatter 6 месяцев назад

    Notes and observations related to my situation:
    1) "Resilience" may not be something I've embodied well altely. While I've been through a lot in the past half-year (not least of which was a death in the family), and even accomplished a bit in the wake of my hardships, I haven't "bounced back" psychologically as well as I'd like to brag. In fact, I've been dealing with a terrible feeling of exhaustion almost all the time.
    2) As someone with autism and AD/HD, among other problems (which conditions are themselves debated as to how they fit into our primal evolution), I find that my "fight or flight" response can be set off by littel things that "neurotypical" people don't even notice, such as fatigue, unwelcome surprises, or issues with personal space, among other things. This can wipe me out pretty badly.

    Excellent advice for living through this 'Going to Hell in a Handbasket' world we're in now! Yes, it's good to be a generalist. Yet, I'll add that focusing more on one useful skill at the same time may prove essential as well as a means of bartering for the fruits of other special skills. We are, and always have been, a tribal people. Co-operation is essential.

    I'm in construction safety, and I stress easily. This is not a winning combination. It's actually been about three years since I was in the field previously. I could feel all the stress and anxiety coming back as if it had never left, and that was encouraging some very unhealthy habits.
    I decided to stop listening to music first thing in the morning when I drive to work (I have a 45 minute drive to start work at 7:00am), so that I could concentrate on breathing and mental prep for the chaos of the day. It's helped a lot. In addition to that, I took up horseback riding 2.5 years ago which is all about breathing, posture, and motion. It's been a net positive, and it's helped me manage my unhealthy choices. I didn't know how much I needed something that demanded that much attention, as you're essentially managing all the chaos and momentum of a 1200lb atv with no handlebars and an opinion.

    Learn to reduce your dependency on stuff.. including but not limited to.. money, unnecessary material possessions, things you can't afford, need or really even want. Learn not to live your life according to other peoples standards and expectations. This does not mean that you should be indifferent or anti-social..just that you should prioritize as to what is best for you and those you care about.
    It is possible to live a comfortable life..even with a degree of luxury..if you choose.. without becoming an indebted slave to an unjust system that ony sees you as an obedient subject.
    In todays world it's best to keep a relatively low profile. Be a part of the Shadow Community. Keep in mind two views:
    1.The wisdom of simplicity.
    The luxury of efficiency.
    2. Those who will not use the brains and skills they have are no better off than those who have none. They are by their own choice subject to the will and control of those who would be their masters.
    Your life. Your future. Your freedom.
    Your choice.

    ‘Suffering’ is relative to our experiences and comfort levels
    I posit that life/nature/the creator has provided us all of the internal and external resources we need to be happy and comfortable and even thrive,
    What we lack is knowledge of these abundant resources and the discipline to manage them sustainably, both of which we can acquire and develop through rigorous and objective training, because there will be failures (sometimes, you just can’t get the fire to light)
    Gotta stay in that state of flow, me brudder 😉👍🏻
    Play is the most important part of resilience (the ability to flow in different directions with the least resistance), maintaining an appropriate level of play is the most important component of a resilient flow,
    Also think of laminar flow as it relates to your definition of flow

    When you ( gradually )build up your fasting from 16 to 48 or 72h without any food, you realize you're not going to starve if you find yourself in a situation where there is no food available. It helps with anxiety in that respect that, you don't feel so desperate or threatened when you don't have access to food for a while. You know you will easily survive this. You have been through it before.

    Great vid and I agree almost 100% but if you don’t address the actual thing which is causing or worsening all these problems (capitalism and its derivatives) all you’re doing is putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. But largely everything suggested here is of value and I think that if you were to incorporate them alongside dialectical and critical analysis paired with a general leftist outlook and actions you come to a much healthier place then the standard coping/living methods that are the norm today.
    Great vid. Keep up the great work. But if you could possibly get into more systemic analysis/talking about the roots of the problems as well as some solutions that would be amazing.

    I totally agree with everything you said. I personally suspect that being so far removed from nature may be the real #1 root cause of mental illness. Secondly, being so far removed from nature will also probably be the main cause of humanity's downfall.

    Excellent video and thank you. My last smartphone was damaged and I had a dumbphone or feature phone for 6 months yet for some reason felt I needed a smart and bought one and now regret it. Non-stop pinging of notifications and not able to disable apps such as You Tube. Can anyone recommend a feature/dumbphone for a reasonable price in the UK? I think the only reason I got the smartphone was for the camera and struggling to find a feature/dumbphone with a decent enough camera. Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Deal with a problem, why do you go around? Anxiety is a fear of an unsolved past event that was extrapolated to another upcoming event. (i.e. in the future). So, the only thing that you need to do, is to increase your awareness of what to do if things go bad, i.e. solve the problem from the past.The cure to anxiety is always information, the more - the better!

  • @faequeenapril6921

    With the first challenge, I think its important to ask why you're using the technology. Im trying to work my way up to downgrading my phone to have something for emergency contacts only because my phone ringing or getting a text message fills me with so much anxiety and dread. What I want to start doing in the morning is just getting up the moment I wake up, start my routine and putting a youtube video on thats educational at least as a compromise, and because 1 of my hobbies is video games and I dont get much time to play the last few hours before bed I will either play a video game or watch a movie with my partner in bed. I dont have an issue with social media besides reddit, I will doom scroll that and thats a habit im trying to break.
    The 2nd challenge hits me hard, I'm 34 and in my final year of an environmental science degree and its so depressing it all feels so hopeless and I agree a lot of the problem is the disconnect with nature, but unfortunately in Europe at least wild camping and even wild hiking is illegal especially here in England. When I was younger I use to go out with my friends with just a backpack and go exploring and camping and also lots of running away from very annoyed farmers lol. Me and my partner talked about this and we want to get back to doing it twice a month at first just for an over night camp in nature.

    You know, i think this modern civilization we have, is just a phase, we will return to whats left as we realise our possesions cant feed us. Also there are plenty of us who watch these things to get the primitive knowledge of the past, so that we may incorperate that into our lives or even go live those lives to the best of our ability/accessibility. So anything you do, is greatly appretiated.

    I came out as trans recently and I just wanted to say thank you. You helped me to find myself through your videos and accept a part of me I buried deep inside of me out of fear and anxiety my whole life. You inspired me to go out in the woods, do and try things I always wanted to learn. I still do and probably will for the rest of my life. By doing that I had plenty of time thinking about myself and what I want in life. Thank you for your work, thank you to help me to be finally free❤🏳️‍⚧️
    P.S. sorry for bad english😂
    P.P.S. for the ignorant people: no, being trans has absolutely nothing to do with social media and isn't a mental illness...
