Living Primitively

I’m sitting here on the bus seeing an article in this woman’s magazine about someone living and breathing only for an organisation. Now, why is such an involvement sad in my eyes? Because this guy is wasting his life, serving something final. Everyone in their right minds knows that states, organisations and other constructs comes to an end. Nature is something we humans have to deal with and when the short era of fossile fuels is over, the primitive skills, the skills of the past once again will determine life or death for us. Timelessness is thus the reason for my two greatest involvements in life.

Finally fleshed the last hides today. Took down the traps. Leaving for Trondheim tomorrow. Caught a red squirrel, shown skinned in the photo.

First thanks to Survival Acres for his great donation. On his blog I also found this news. I must say I’m happy for them if it happens, though I think they’ll either not follow it through or get slaughtered in the attempt.

Or at least his reindeers did. I have a pretty big stack of frozen skins I need to thaw up and flesh. Some are done and plenty still to go. I see a sleeping bag, fur jacket etc…

Got my skin delivery today. And I am well underway with making a pair of mittens for my oldest daughter.
