Description

Tim Swanson is the founder of Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival, a “traveling” wilderness survival school that seeks to connect people of all ages to the landscape in hopes to protect and restore our natural world. In this episode we talk about all sorts of survival skills such as shelter building, fire skills, wood carving, foraging, animal tracking, and many others. Tim walks us through how he combines many of these skills together to teach them to children and to adults. If you're close in proximity you can check out Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival in person and if you aren't you can use many of these ideas to learn yourself or incorporate them into kids' birthday parties.

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
