About

This journey is a response to a calling to live in deeper harmony with nature—a desire many share but often lack the resources, mentors, or access to cultivate essential skills. I believe it is our human right to learn how be in the communion with wilderness, to hunt, fish, identify plants, and craft. These skills, once commonplace, have become rare in our modern world.

With each step we take towards the wilderness, we reconnect with fragments of our shared history. We can become caretakers of nature, just as nature nurtures us in return.

This philosophy is at the heart of ProtectGatherGrow: to protect wilderness, gather our needs sustainably, and grow in a way that allows all beings to thrive on this planet in a healthy and non-destructive manner.
