It seems that most folks around here would also say that suckers are no good.
I’ve had sucker fish once before(fried), and thought it was good food. Too bad that dipnets and hands are illegal to use here. I’ve head that other people who do eat them usually smoke them.

P.S. Alaska sounds exciting!

Hello. This is a fantastic blog; it makes me extremely happy to see all of these like-minded people who understand our harmonious roots. I’m young, however – and have school to deal with first – but my dream is to cut myself off from the curse of modern society/civilisation and live with people like yourselves, remotely and joyously. Scandinavia is exactly the place I was thinking of, having read a book series called ‘Chronicles of Ancient Darkness’ by Michelle Paver, which greatly describes the landscape of the place. I recognise that I won’t be able to do this immediately, and it will take planning and training, but this is one of my aims.

Since most people consider suckers to be “trash fish,” it would be interesting to know how you use them.

I was wondering if you accept people to come and live like this. It’s my goal to find a group of people who live off the land and live with them. It’s hard to find these groups for the internet doesn’t really go with wilderness survival. If you have any info on where I can make my dream a reality please email me.

I’m out of practice now, but when I regularly went bare foot I climbed (without problem) up Arthur’s Seat in Edinbugh – which is a very rocky / gravelly / stony surface; just by don’t of pretty much never wearing my shoes.

Hi Thomas & Torjus
Beautiful pictures. The house looks charming. I’ve just recently started following this blog. Though i use a steel axe, i find the site inspiring and look for things i can use in my daily life. It’s very satisfying to make the things i need from things i find in the forest.

Hello my name is Bryan Fry.I live what most would consider an alternate life style.I hunt,trap,and forage most of my food and live a fairly nomadic life style.Me and my wife are looking for a permanent community that share our values.some place to put a permanent shelter.this is a big deal only because we do not feel that you can own land and also do not use money.Is there any idea as to what can be done in are situation.Since we only earn money through trade and teaching at rendevous.I really see no way of ever getting land and have thought of going all rogue and heading for some mountain valley and hoping We never get found . We have also checked intentional community sites but most do not share our belief in a totally nature based path.And want you to buy into the place something we can not do.We have heard that homesteading is no longer an option.So for now I guess we will continue to travel.We always travel from washington to wisconsin and back.If you have any Ideas please contact me at bryanfry1982@gmail.com
