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!

Just to clarify my last post. While still focusing on the roots and fundamentals of outdoor content, this channel will be going in a very different direction from the bow making-primitive skills format.
Everybody’s interests change and mine certainly have over the years.

Hey everyone, just a quick update here. I am still working on the Pit River bow video. I have been extremely busy and while content is not as persistent, I appreciate your support. This will be my last bow making video on the channel. After that, content will shift in a new direction.
