16. Surviving a Year in The Bush | Living Like Our Ancestors and What It Means To Be Human

This weeks episode is super powerful.Today I am joined by a Survival expert and trained psychotherapist who runs camps and retreats in the Australian bush for kids, young adults and men and women.We actually met at a camp years ago then reconnected when I went on a men’s retreat with him where we had to survive overnight in the bush with nothing but a blanket.Lee has been using Jon Young's coyote mentoring approach for over a decade and began learning and teaching bushcraft as a teenager at the Forest School Camps in the UK. He studied primitive survival skills at Tom Brown Jr's Tracker School, and Practical Primitive, both in the US, and spent a year living in the bush, finding shelter, water and food on the landscape; putting it into practice. More than that, he found a radically new experience of what it means to be human.Today we discuss Lee’s story, how he got into survival, what he has learned as a psychotherapist, how he was able to reconnect with himself after spending a year in the wilderness, the different ways men and women show emotion and much more.This is a jam-packed episode and I really enjoyed listening to it again whilst I edited it, there are so many awesome take ways and I really hope you enjoy.Find Lee Here: https://www.bluegumbushcraft.com.au/Support the show Hosted on Acast.
