The need to connect

The need to connect This is a slightly different video from what I usually do.

From time to time I feel the need to escape from the Matrix world we live in and connect with the real world, as it should be. Usually without a camera, but I want to share this to maybe influence more people to connect with the nature.

Creating fire still gives a satisfaction as it has for the human rase for thousands of years. The magic in the flames and safety of the fire has comforted humans thru all time, and will still do in the time to come.

Our brain is set up to create things to make life easier. In the modern world of today I feel we have reached a point where we have created so much around us to make life easier, that we don’t need to be creative anymore. I also belive that people who don’t need to solve challenges get more depressed. Going out with little gear helps boosting the creativity, and makes you happy for small achievements.
In an environment like this, time does not matter. But in the “prison” of mortgage and salary, time is the prison guard. Unfortunately, most of us has to go to work to pay for a roof over our head, and not because we like the work. That is why small adventures like this are so important.

I rarely feel alone in the nature, if you take it slow, open your eyes and mind, you will see it all over, life. And the sound of a river is not noice, it`s the sound of life and energy.

Practical info:

The fish trap/snare is shown in detail in my video:

The Bush fishing kit(hobo style) is shown in detail in my video:

The fishing net is made out of 60 feet /18 meters of 550 paracord only. And the net itself measures approx. 2,5 x 1 meter. It took me more than a day to finish.
