Mick Dodge video/SunRay Kelly

mick dodge video...pretty funny.
Homemade fur clothing is where it is at.   I think this dude runs with SUNray KElly: one of my favorite natural builders.

Colbert is a mad trapper. Check out this clip.

Great profile of Colbert.

Divorced and started living a simple life.  Another courageous man who is also a trapper, builder, and off gridder. Careful for that river water!

Live Free or Die: character video profiles: Amelia / Tony

Amelia

I really like the way they are trapping, and I am impressed with her skinning skills!

Tony
He was a suburbanite and now is growing all his own food.  I can relate to this group and respect them for having the courage to be self sufficient in a world of commodification.


This is a great series that chronicles the low impact lifestyle of some unusual back woods hipsters. The videos include some great footage, but for those people who don't want to see where their food comes from, some of these videos may leave you a bit squeamish.  I am a fan of reality television shows that educate viewers on the animal life you must take to eat meat.

Live Free or Die explores one of America’s most remote subcultures, following five people who have left the modern world behind to live in backwoods and swamps where they hunt their own food, build their own shelters, and survive only on what they can produce with their own two hands and sharp intuition. -Sarah Bibel

National Geographic Channel Follows Five Americans Who Have Left Their
Mainstream Lives to Survive off the Land in Live Free or Die

New Series Live Free or Die Premieres Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 10 PM ET/PT
on National Geographic Channel

(WASHINGTON, D.C. — September 2, 2014) Americans today constantly have their eyes locked to screens — their phones, tablets and televisions. Workweeks are getting longer and the retirement age is getting older. There’s an obsession with money and material goods. But there are a handful of people who are rejecting these ways of life. They’re moving away from the cities, living with only the bare necessities, pledging to Live Free or Die.
National Geographic Channel’s new series Live Free or Die examines one of America’s most remote subcultures, following five individuals living in the country’s backwoods and swamps with few of the trappings of modern society. Freed from the constraints of a technology-fueled existence, they are modern-day pioneers who rely only on skill and intuition to harness the natural environment. Live Free or Die premieres Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on National Geographic Channel and in December internationally in 440 million homes in 171 countries and 45 languages.
