"We have forgotten where we have come from...that "We have forgotten where we have come from...that we are biologically and psychologically bound to Earth and to all living things...that we are part of the web of life. As for the human psyche and its relationship to our animal origins, I have two questions: whose permission are we waiting for to enter that 'uncertain ground' where the voice of our wild relatives can be heard? How long is it going to take to acknowledge that there is indeed a menagerie within each of us...a wolf, a hyena, a lion...a wild man and a wild woman?⁠ ⁠ We can learn a lot about ourselves from the wild. And we can learn how to give back. We can rediscover the meaning of relationships."⁠ ⁠ - Ian McCallum
With a naturalist's integrated knowledge of the wo With a naturalist's integrated knowledge of the world, we interpret ecology in a way that stimulates the rediscovery of relationships. These valuable pieces of wild advice enable ways of looking at the natural world and yourself differently. It all comes from having the consciousness that the world is bigger than each individual, the humility to admit we don't know everything and the curiosity to continually learn more.
The Premier 'Primitive Trail' Company.⁠ ⁠ Just The Premier 'Primitive Trail' Company.⁠ ⁠ Just as the original hunter-gatherers relied on Nature and each other for survival, the quest of the post-industrial hunter-gatherer is also about survival - ecologically, socially and psychologically. The Trail creates the conditions, experiences and framework for participants to re-anchor their identities in Nature. In this way, @lowveld_trails_co is not only a voice for the wild animals and wild areas of the world, but crucially, for the wild part of the human psyche. This is the part of us that comes alive on Trail and recognises Nature as our home, regardless of where we live.

"For nearly the entire history of our species (~20 "For nearly the entire history of our species (~200 000 years), Sapiens lived as foragers. The flourishing field of evolutionary psychology argues that many of our present-day social and psychological characteristics were shaped during this long pre-agricultural era. Even today, scholars in this field claim, our brains and minds are adapted to a life of hunting and gathering. Subconsciously we still inhabit the hunter-gatherer world that shaped us. Our biological 'software' is mostly incompatible with the current post-industrial environment, with it's mega-cities, phones and computers. This environment gives us more material resources and longer lives, but it often leaves us feeling confused, anxious and depressed." - Yuval Noah Hariri (Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind) 👣⁠ .....⁠ The experience of walking through a wild landscape in a small band, carrying only essential belongings on your back, is to become a hunter-gatherer of the 21st century. Drawing on lessons from the wild, you are hunting for meaning and gathering values. Forage for perspectiive through images and stories that emerge on trail. It has the potential to 'Rewild the human imagination.⁠ .....

I had missed the most important shot of my life. All the hairs on my frigid body turned to cactus needles and my gut, full of pool acid, tumbled with the volatility of an old farm windmill in a gale.⁠"⁠
