About

At some point in my life, I realized I didn’t know how to do anything for myself. None of the basics, anyway, and that all the essentials were being performed by someone in an unknown place, in an unknown way. I wanted to take ownership of my actions, and see the effects of my living. Later, I started looking at all the other forms of life, and wondering what their existence was like.

My inspiration comes from people who live and have lived in intimate relationship with their landscape.

For many years I’ve made my living primarily by teaching traditional crafts, wilderness living, and naturalist workshops. And I’ve also made my living by not making a living – making, growing, and gathering instead of earning an income and buying.

Lately, I have also taken to selling useful things for people which might help them pursue their own dreams.
