On episode 128 of the JMB Podcast, Jesse and Tim discuss some big-picture ideas about why you might be interested in learning bushcraft, and what you do with it when you learn it. Ultimately it’s about being resilient and connecting with the land and our ancestors. It is a lifestyle that resonates with a deep part of us from our distant past. People alive today live much different lives than our ancestors, and much has been lost in terms of community and connection. It’s a wide-ranging discussion. I hope you enjoy it.

It is a lot of daily work. Without self-discipline you start to fall behind. And the comforts of modern li ..read more
