Post hole 2

I recently received an email from a friend that asked “Where the hell have you been anyway!?!”

Learning to get along

Willem Larsen of The College of Mythic Cartography and TrackersNW talks about the aspects of rewilding that often fall through the cracks: invisible skills.

As Jason Godesky has pointed out before, “primitive skills are, in general, easy to learn, and difficult to master.”  I think this holds true all the more for invisible skills like communication, teamwork, and peacemaking.

Listen to Willem discuss these elusive skills in this YouTube video from TrackersNW.
