Unlearn, Rewild: Earth Skills, Ideas and Inspiration for the Future Primitive
Miles Olson is a true radical; that is, he gets to the root of the problem--which is that we have cut ourselves off from our own innate wildness and are busily trying to domesticate a planet that has a will of its own. The only real solution is to return to a wilder and simpler existence. Olson's pure, clear voice helps us get grounded and get started.---Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute, and author ofThe End of GrowthUnlearn, Rewildis an extraordinary and unconventional survival guide. Olson provides a hands-on manual to break free from enslavement to jobs, bills, and the trap of civilization to rediscover one’s true nature.–Thomas J. Elpel, author ofParticipating in NatureMiles Olson has asked the all-important but often ignored question about sustainability: what kind of world do we wish to sustain? He then tears up some popular delusions about getting there.-- Samuel Thayer, author ofThe Forager’s HarvestDo the terms “human monoculture,” “technology trap” or “ecocide” resonate with you? Are you going broke but want to live well? Does living outside the system appeal to you? Take this book, written by a professional dropout/escape artist, as you make your own escape. Along with philosophy (for attitude adjustment) it covers scavenging road kill, which grubs are good to eat and most everything else you need to know to go feral safely and in style.---Dmitry Orlov, author ofReinventing Collapse and The Five Stages of Collapse
