Stone Age Immersion Living...talk about going way out there

[Reschke]

I found this looking up some information to post in the bow hunters thread about the atlatl. This is some serious stuff here and sounds like crazy talk but you know the wild thing is a bunch of people are getting back to this type of living in some areas.

I hear they  even have internet there too.

I know a guy who lives in the back country in Alaska year round.  No Electricity at all, only food they eat they hunt and grow, and once a year go to the nearest town (Five days by foot) to get supplies that they may need.

why don't they have a bush pilot fly them in?

Not positive, but I think avgas in Alaska is going for somewhere over $5/gal...  That's one reason.

the cost and no place to land.

You're telling me this, can't land in the snow and ice?

Is it not everywhere? Last I filled up it was something like $5.99/gal out here.

No he's telling you this will happen, w/ or w/out those things.

Looks like alot of fun. Though I'd have to agree. After a few days in one place. I'd have to get out and about looking for the next area

[Reschke]

I'm with you there Dred I know I couldn't sit or stay in one area of just a couple of hundred acres. When you get down to it foraging and hunting you can cover about a 100 acres in a day if you are stalk hunting like you would have to do to survive in that situation.

5 days on foot to get supplies, then they have to haul the supplies back on foot for another 5 days.  Ever think about a mule and some horses. That's the way Jeremiah Johnson did it.

Please tell me I'm not the only one here with a garbage can of chert and obsidian nodules and flakes?  There must be others here with stone knapping tools and at least a little experience???

Some of you guys also have atlatls?  I'm not the only one, right?  Heck, I'm not super active in using 'em lately, but I've still got 2-3 of them around here...

The rest of you brain tan leather too, right?  And have your wives help when it comes to fleshing, scraping, and stretching the hides?  I know I can't be the only one who's borrowed the wife's blender for mixing up a batch of deer brain mash?

I can make hamburger helper from scratch in my travel trailer.
