Today, we are talking with the eloquent young visionary, Miles Olson, who is living an ongoing experiment in rewilding. Miles has spent the past decade deeply immersed in learning and practicing Earth Skills, while foraging, hunting, gardening and gathering for his livelihood. His experiences have given him a unique perspective on rewilding, radical self-reliance, and the impact of civilization on the natural world.
Miles offers a candid discussion into the social and technological drivers of our separation from nature. We muse about collapse scenarios, and revel in thoughts of the beautiful mess of the ensuing wildness.
