Has anyone ever checked out Kurt Saxon's web page? He has several books he sells from his newsletter he used to print called "The Survivor" Very useful information.

Dear Rick, Longshot, and Redflare,

Howdy, Rick, Longshot ,and Redflare!

Rick, linky no workie, but if you can get it to work, I'll love to see it.

Longshot and Redflare, Steve Watts, the guy quoted on Primitiveways.com, is a homey to me.

He lives in Gastonia, NC and he was one of the camping counselors of a group I was a part of called The Ramblers. It was a group of 20 select students at Highland Jr. High that would go camping once a month. The counselors were all Outward Bound trained and/or knew their stuff about camping and primitive living.

Steve Watts is also active at The Schiele Nature Museum in Gastonia, NC and he was a consultant on primitive skills for the movie Cast Away starring Tom Hanks. He knows his stuff good!

I haven't seen him in a long while, but you've brought back great memories of some of the neat things he knows. I'll have to meet with him again on my vacation.

Here also is the link to the Society of Primitive Technology of which he is President:

Dear BadKarma,

Howdy, BadKarma!

Kurt Saxon is good at compiling and presenting "intermediate technologies" i.e. those of the 1800s to the 1930s. *I've seen some primitive tech from him like home-made caterpaults, crossbows, and atlatls, but not as much as the more contemporary things. *

I question Kurt's neo-Malthusian ideology, but his publication The Survivor is definitely neat. *

Unbound,

Yeah I would agree that Kurt's ideals are a little "out there" However, he does display a fair amount of practicality in some of his newsletters. While some of his stuff from The Survivor may be a little outdated, I think it's definely worth checking out.
