Primitive Lifeways
Primitive Lifeways is the result of over 20 years experience in wilderness living and primitive technologies. With a background in professional archaeology, our vision is to pass along ancient knowledge and field experience to you, the viewer. Our goal is to go beyond the physical skill aspect of advanced primitive skills and offer the viewer an experience which helps with understanding each skill and cultural background at the most fundamental level. All of the stills taught here have withstood the test of time and are practiced today by local and international indigenous communities across the globe.
On this channel you can explore wild lands with us! Learn about the natural environment, edible and medicinal plants, flintknapping, bow and arrow crafting, primitive pottery, and everything outdoor self-reliance related. We learn and grow together as a community!

Time for another announcement. For 5 plus years now I have been asked by many to make a documentary on the Navajo bow. My next project will be exactly that. I am currently in the beginning stages of outlying the video and in touch with a Navajo friend and a family member to bring them into the video. I will be traveling to Arizona to film this project.
