Not only does Bushcraft UK (based in England) draw upon the deeper pool of European paleolithic knowledge in its primitive skills forum, it also generates an excellent magazine that concentrates on mentoring our next generation in the Old Ways (something that isn't promoted enough in the primitive skills field). Also check out their Articles, Photo Gallery and Shop!

The purpose of the Society of Primitive Technology is: 1) to promote the practice and teaching of aboriginal skills; 2) to foster communication between teachers and practitioners; and 3) to set standards for authenticity, ethics and quality.
The SPT publishes the Bulletin of Primitive Technology, which is by far the most informative and true-to-form Stone Age Skills journal on the market that I've seen. I cannot adequately express how impressed I am with this world-wide publication--subscribe today! |

| Paul Krafel |
|
|
Paul's book, Seeing Nature, changed my perspective on and challenged my assumptions of the landscape. He put me in Gaia's processes, whereas before I was merely standing on the Earth. He illuminates natural (meta)physical concepts such as Gradients, Balance, Tracks and Spirals of Change, Levels, Flow, Time Lags, Cycles, Divergence and Convergence, and much more.

| sproutpeople.com |
|
|
Sprout People is a delightful and warm website devoted to the sprouting of seeds for eating. I very much like the Beanies, Amber Waves of Grain and San Francisco mixes, as well as their Micro-Greens seeds for germination on felt pads (soil-less growing, good for an indoor living or work space).
