Summary

Chris Morasky is a wildlife biologist with 30 years experience teaching Stone Age skills and nature connection and is considered one of the top Stone Age skills experts in North America. After many years spent living in the wilderness and small communities of British Columbia, Idaho and Utah, Chris left his primitive lifestyle and transitioned to living in the metropolis of Los Angeles. Through this experience, Chris has gained a unique perspective on the intersection of ancient skills and future technology, and he’s here to tell us why it’s essential for humanity to understand how to merge the wisdom of our ancestors with the ideas and technology of the future.

In this episode, Chris encourages us to look at the bigger picture philosophies of ReWilding. While learning how to tan a hide and start a friction fire are valuable skills, the true purpose of ReWilding can sometimes get lost in these minute details. Chris shares how we can use primitive skills, nature connection and indigenous wisdom as doorways to healing and gaining a better understanding of our interconnectedness.

0:30.0	Daniel Vitalis. Hey this show is brought to you by Samina.US.
0:36.0	I spent a lot of years looking for the very best bed that I could find.
0:40.0	And it's because after a lot of years of studying, you know, what kind of creates and builds and maintains and sustains human health,
0:47.0	one of the things that keeps emerging for me, and you've heard a lot of shows here if you've been following on long you know it's sleep. It's like the
0:54.9	lynchpin to all these other health practices working you know so we can have a
0:59.8	great diet and we can have great water and we can have exercise and movement and
1:03.8	community but if we're missing sleep and we're not getting good quality
1:06.6	sleep it's gonna really undermine our health obviously I think everybody here
1:10.6	understands that a lot of people have asked me like why would you invest not only so much in a bed but into a bed that's so comfortable that you think you should create something a little more wild like I don't know a pile of sticks or something like that. So here's some thoughts that I have. I think

1:34.5	conventional bed, one thing you got to know is there's like five gallons of flame
1:38.9	retardant in the bed. And there's those metal springs all in the bed too and so in addition to the
1:45.8	chemicals you're sleeping on on this basically an antenna and I think that that's
1:49.6	something people really need to get kind of real about that if you're picking up Wi-Fi on your laptop,
1:54.0	if you're getting a signal on your phone, then your bed is picking up all that stuff too, in those coils.
1:58.8	And you're sleeping on top of that. But the other thing is that a bed is going to hold and this be true whether
