Daniel! You are AWESOME! For the first time in history, you are a leader that causes people to THINK instead of follow! LOVE IT

Hey Daniel! I found your lecture very entertaining, and I agree with a lot of what you are saying. However, you are also spreading a lot of misinformation that doesn't reflect the reality.

You say that sweet fruits and berries cannot exist in nature. This is simply not true. There are plenty of wild varieties of fruits and berries which are sweet. Ever had a wild fig or date?
Even here in Sweden we have wild strawberries and raspberries that are just as sweet as the cultivated varieties.

There's an interesting article about Australian Aboriginal plant foods* where they conclude that the wild varieties of the fruits investigated contain just as much or even more carbs compared to the cultivated varieties. Also interesting to note that the wild nuts are also higher in carbs.

You also mention that organic apples are hard to grow. That is simply not the truth. At least not here in the Swedish climate (which I think is similar to New England). In fact, every orchid I've visited grow their apples organically even though they aren't certified. Simply because they have no need to grow them any differently.
Heck there's even plenty of apples and pears growing in the wild here. They are older varieties, but cultivated and sometimes very sweet ones.
Guess what? They do just fine on their own! I go out and harvest lots of fruit in the woods each year. The pears for example might not look as pretty as the ones in the supermarket and have a bit tougher skin, but they taste just as good and are just as sweet.

I'm also confused about your definition of a warrior. Would you consider a warrior to be any life form that has a defense mechanism?

Thanks for an entertaining "out of the box" lecture anyhow! It made me stay up much too late. :)

This was a fantastic presentation, Daniel. I think having someone with a broad knowledge base that understands the interconnected nature of things in the world available and willing to teach others is incredibly important and timely given the current circumstances of things. I've really started thinking about what I find in my life that is very valuable to me and how I would continue to use or exercise those things outside of the support of the grid.

I'd love to see some additional programs that delve more deeply into herbalism and preparing of various medicines that are fairly uncommon. Something along the lines of the process used to prepare deer antler velvet in a world without modern means. Like how would a tribal shaman prepare it for his people? I think that knowledge is very potent and important to disseminate to those who have the will to actually engage and master its practice, and that goes for many other herbs as well that are easily available only because of the modern distribution systems. My desire is to be able to provide those things in the event the grid does happen to get undone, whether by natural disasters or the fiat currency model of modern economics finally failing. So just some input there on future instructional items that might be of interest to those of us seeking out our more feral nature.

Thanks again, Daniel, and keep teaching, we need more people willing to bring us back to some of our lost wisdom.

Thank you for this! I thought it was really interesting what you were saying about ethanol, is there one of your courses in particular that elaborates? Appreciate your work!

I always learn something new from your lectures Daniel. Thank you so much for allowing us to see these videos for free. Every time I watch your videos it motivates me to take the practice of becoming more wild and free to the next level.
