The Tooth of the Lion - Dandelion Magic

Wild Wanderings Blog – May 24, 2012Hello my fellow farm-dreamers:) Many apologies for last week’s absence. I’m still without internet at home and communication is hindered to say the least. Funny…I teach primitive skills and I’m somewhat paralyzed without modern technology…go figure:))In my last Blog, I stated that I’d guide you through the gathering of various plants and such that I collect throughout the year. Wild plants are a huge part of survival, yet most survival books don’t acknowledge…See More

"The Eye of the Survivalist" - Seeing Nature Through Ancestral Eyes

Wild Wanderings Blog – May 10, 2012Hello again my earthy and earthly friends! Life on the farm has been quite wet again this week. Numerous, almost daily storms have saturated the soil to its carrying capacity. A huge very fast moving storm on Sunday has crippled my internet access, making communications and running a school a bit challenging. The plants of course are thriving. All the wild edibles here are at least three to four weeks ahead of schedule. I’ve been gathering numerous plants for…See More

Coming Back to Our Senses - Part 2 / Experiencing Nature to its Fullest!

Wild Wanderings Blog – May 3, 2012Hello fellow “Farm Dreamers” and all like-minded souls of course:)) The farm, where I currently reside, is teeming with life. Baby lambs, goats and calves have blessed this beautiful Spring as well as numerous baby chicks! I’m really enjoying the marriage and wisdom in joining the domestic and wild (survival skills). Self-reliance is all encompassing and multifaceted indeed. As new crops are being planted weekly, the wild edibles of Spring are certainly…See More

"I agree Zac! Slow is always the best tactic. Something we, "society as a whole", seem quite incapable of:)) Imagine how aware we'd be if our lives weren't dependent on the local grocery stores?? "

"Stopping and asking "what am I missing right now?" reminds of me what my friends call "indian walking" while we ground hunt. The technique requires you walk only just a few steps at a time as stealthily as possible.…"

The Realities of Wilderness Survival - Part 10 / Coming back to your senses!

Wild Wanderings Blog – April 26, 2012Hello everyone! It’s been an incredibly wet week down here in the Smoky Mountains and throughout much of the East in general. The plants, wild and domestic are going crazy. We’re easily three weeks ahead of schedule with most plants. I’m not much of a grass cutter, but I’ve been forced to succumb and have officially fired up the weed-whacker. I eat my share of weeds, but even I can’t keep up with them without the fear of getting colicky:) With gas prices…See More

Daisy commented on Earth School's blog post The Realities of Wilderness Survival - Part 8 / Spring cleaning and cattails!

"I've heard that the stalks are kind of like asparagus. Is this true? Do you have any photos to show us how to eat the stalks? Our pond is covered with cattails every year and I've always wanted to try them. "

Wild Wanderings Blog – April 12, 2012Thanks my friends for all the feedback and newsletter sign-ups this past week…much appreciated!
