The first of 3 introductory episodes of "The Earthwise Podcast" where storytelling is the medium for sharing skills and knowledge. In this episode we hear about the history behind Maine Primitive Skills School and the reason for starting this podcast. Join Mike Douglas, founder of the Maine Primitive Skills School in Augusta, Maine, around his electronic campfire where he will share stories and skills in ancestral knowledge, survival, bushcraft, permaculture, rewilding, and community building. Using ancestral skills combined with modern science & technology we will bring greater nature connection to the world, create mutually beneficial relationships, and manifest bounty for all living things. Episodes will be released every other Tuesday and follow the cycle of the seasons to give you relevant anecdotes to get you outside to deepen the connection you have to your landscape.
