Recorded on location in a nomad camp in the Sahara Desert on the border between Algeria and Morocco. This interview features an in depth look at nomadic life in the largest desert on earth. Featuring men from Arabic, Bedouin, Berber & Tuareg tribes who were born and raised in a nomadic family utilizing camels and constant movement as a way of life. From the games they would play as children while herding goats to the staple items one must have in order to survive, including camel milk, dates, salted meat, wells, celestial navigation, turbans and family. Learn why being a nomad teaches you patience and hospitality. Learn why stress doesn't exist in a nomad's life. This interview will take you into a carpeted tent under some of the tallest sand-dunes in the world during a full moon while the sand-storms blow to the West. The Sahara Desert, aṣ-ṣaḥrāʼ al-kubrá, 'the Great Desert’. Covers an area of 3,600,000 sq miles, the Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world comparable to the area of China & the US. The name 'Sahara' is derived from a dialectal Arabic word, ṣaḥra, meaning “desert". For hundreds of thousands of years, the Sahara has alternated between desert & savanna grassland in a 41,000 year cycle caused by the precession of the Earth's axis as it rotates around the Sun, which changes the location of the North African Monsoon. The area is next expected to become green in about 15,000 years.

Join us at the Rabbit Stick traditional skills gathering for an interview with Ray Young and Tom Lucyens. Two retired survival instructors for the U.S. Air Force. Specially, Ray and Tom teach Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE).  SERE is a training program that prepares U.S. military personnel, U.S. Department of Defense civilians, and private military contractors to survive and "return with honor" in survival scenarios. The curriculum includes survival skills, evading capture, application of the military code of conduct, and techniques for escape from captivity. Formally established by the U.S. Air Force at the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War, it was extended to the Navy and United States Marine Corps and consolidated within the Air Force during the Korean War with greater focus on "resistance training".This episode was recorded on location in collaboration with Xplorer Maps.
