New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– Enlightening Hunting Experience I Had With My Family Last Week
Growing up in a metropolitan area, I never had much exposure to hunting or the outdoors. Over the past few years, and with the help of various friends and mentors, I have developed a deep admiration for the tradition of hunting—and meat prep, cookery, wayfinding, tracking, and all the other skills that come along with it. This is the reason why I decided to take my family on a 4-day experience in Kettle Falls, Washington with the Human Nature Hunting School.
The course we took in this case is called “Awaken the Hunter.” It is NOT a guided hunt or the pursuit of trophies; this is a more holistic approach to learning the entire process from planning and prep to stalking and hunting to field dressing and butchering. The underlying purpose is to heal the connection between humans and nature by experiencing the essence of the hunt, which requires time in the field and thinking like a wild animal. This process is a slow, thoughtful immersion to establish the strongest bonds possible to the land and our ecosystem, at which point hunting becomes more an act of giving and receiving than of conquering and taking.
Through our hunting journey, my family and I were enlightened by the expertise of our guides who enhanced my belief of the deep spiritual connection between man and nature.
Let me know in the comments how YOU stay in touch with the world and the traditions of your ancestors.

Special Announcements:
::: Save 15% On The New Probiotic I've Switched To :::
Unfortunately, as you can read here in “A new kind of probiotic could change the $38 billion market by using real science,” most probiotics simply do not seed the gut. Period.
So I started looking into “SEED” probiotics after meeting their chief scientist at a health conference and being incredibly impressed. SEED is a new microbiome science company with a deep bench of scientists and doctors developing microbial therapies that are backed by both human clinical data and quantifiable endpoints showing they actually do “seed” the stomach (hence the name).
SEED’s first product is a consortium of 20+ strains of bacteria supported by multiple double-blind, randomized, human clinical trials looking at a variety of endpoints—including intestinal transit time, stool consistency, regularity, ease of elimination, bloating, and intestinal barrier integrity.
In other words, this is the best new probiotic, period. I’ve been popping three every day. Their website is pretty fun to explore too. Use code BEN15 here for 15% off your first month of the Daily Synbiotic.
