Is this stuff in our genes?
richpierce:
Do you feel "right" sometimes when you search for and find good stone for knapping, good shoots or cane for making arrows, good wood for making a bow, and when you are working on those projects? I guess what I mean by "right" is a sense that "this is what I was made to do."
I suspect that when we finally get away from modern technology and noise and return to tasks that use all our senses that were so necessary for normal life for much of our past, we connect somehow and get a strong "vibe".
Do you feel it sometimes?

You Bet ! It probably is genetic. Most of the human race has been living that way since the dawn of man.for the most part,it has only been in the last 200 years that man has been techno dependent. In wood there is spirit as there is in stone,natural fiber and fur. Try to get a "Good" vibe out of anything plastic. (Am awful fond of my polar fleece though) Frank

The only time I feel "right" is when doin' the things ya say. Rest of the time I feel like Iam just existing. :-\......bob

try this walk into the woods find a plant ya dont know and sit there and stare at it. feel what happens to your body may take 15 min make take 2 hrs but dont stop till ya feel it. may be something in the pit of your stomach or a tingle in your feet. just pay attention. when you think your done go home and identify the plant and if its edible and medicinal properties. if you spent the time with the plant properly the feelings you had will coincide with the things you find out about in the books.
first time i ever did this was with a poisoinous plant called false hellebore. it was something i hadnt noticed before and i sat in the canoe staring at it. after a while i cramped up and decided the plant was not something i should touch or eat. did some research and found the plant was poisonois. so yeah i think its in us all. im more at peace in the woods than anywhere else

Every time I am outside.At school with all the kids in my class that can't live without video games,ipods,and electricity I feel like that guy in all the paintings that's alone looking out over a ledge with a bow and tomahawk.It's very sad actually how much the other 12/13 year olds can't live without technology/modern crap.I would probably rather do without some of it.
