Indigenous wisdom for the hardships of the modern world.

Civilization has brought many rewards but at a cost. In the United States, suicide rates have skyrocketed, anxiety and depression are on the rise, and loneliness is through the roof. Existential questions plague many who seek answers to this brave new world.

Our ancestors and the remaining intact indigenous cultures answered many of life's most challenging questions long ago: remain connected to the natural world, find awe and wonder in the creatures around us, and champion community.

Humanity spent most of its evolution in a tribal unit as hunter-gatherers. My name is Mansal Denton. It's my mission to bring you stories of returning to an ancient lifeway so we may live better, more fulfilling lives.

All the animals and 90% of the people are invasive, are not natural to these lands. They are all foreign causing damage to the ecosystem. One man with a dozer making a parking lot is worse than 10.000 rats, goats or pigs. Axis deer were a gift from the Emperor of Japan to the King of Hawaii.

1) you are wrong about the scarce availability of rifle hunting on Kauai. Kauai has a lot of units and a lot of seasons for rifle hunting. Much more than the Big Island even. 2) I'm surprised you never said a peep about the most elusive trophy in Hawaii, the blacktail deer found only on Kauai. 3) Molokai has goats but no sheep. Lanai has mouflon sheep as does the Big Island. Big island also has feral sheep.

Its difficult to render all the fat in time, but try to avoid freezing fat or tallow before or after rendering. Water molecules become sharp and rigid at 0 and destroy near by molecules like lipids and protiens. Also, never overheat the oil. The cooler its kept, the less damaged it becomes. Eating oxidized oils from either burning, freezing, or air exposure (like while drying) will be unhealthy.

Agreed. It's a bit challenging to not freeze black bear fat, however. It's a huge quantity at once.

You were in Siberia? And you did not release on single video from there? Mysterious 😅 In the video you wrote: " I just returned from Far East Russia where I tracked Siberian tigers and learned how they interact with animals like a grizzly bear. Some of the evidence about Siberian tigers is too incredible not to share. Remember that a Siberian tiger is 5-700 pounds and a grizzly bear is up to 1200 pounds." -Why is it to incredible to share evidence? What kind of evidence is that? Because I happen to have a relative working in tiger research in Sikhote- Alin, Siberia. She says that grown brown bears at 200 or more dont mind the tigers. They are pretty much immune from tiger attacks. In fact, they thrive if there are tigers in their habitat as they will even force male tigers off their kills. And they have even killed large males in disputes. But no evidence of any 200 kg or larger bears getting killed. So I dont get where you got the idea that tigers will be "a winner" in fights between tigers and brown bears. Evidence points the other direction. Hope you respond to my critical questions here :)

Great video! Love what you're doing. I've had friends who looked down on me for hunting in blind and over feed at times. They had limited experience and perspective. Also different regions have different terrain which makes it possible to stalk or not. Different regions also have deer with different temperament. Some deer are more cautious of predation which changes how you should hunt them.

I saw your Siberian Tiger vs Grizzly (?) Bear video. No comments allowed of course. Weird that you showed nothing from Siberia... As for Tigers and Brown (!) Bears, there are not one single case of any fully grown male killed or even attacked by a Siberian Tiger as the Tigers give grown males a vide berth. Scientists say there is a "limit" for any interaction made by the Tigers towards a Bear at 200 kg. Bears over that the Tigers do not go near. And the largest ever Brown Bear documented killed by a Siberian Tiger was a female in hibernation, weighing around 170 kg. And those are facts that totally contradicts your claims. Therefor you allowed no comments...
@bloodandspirit

I allowed no comments because I accidentally made it for kids, which doesn't allow them. It was an accident. Documented and acknowledged by indigenous people who are in the field every day are different things. I have not sought the documentation enough so I don't know on that front. But Udege/Nanai have consistent claims about it and they live WITH both animals.

@@bloodandspirit Even when you are hunting and the animal lived a happy free life doesnt make it right. You are still murdering an animal that did not want to die. The fact that they will inevitably die one day does not justify you murdering them. If you killed a human or a dog it would still be wrong even tho they are gonna die one day. Imagine if a murderer was in court and ge said “oh they were gonna die one day and they already lived a good life so thats why I shot them in the head because I wanted some meat”.

I just stumbled upon this video just minutes after its upload, 4 mins to be exact lol. I'm so glad I did though, or rather I'm so glad this video found me. Just recently within the past few weeks I went into a deep thought about ayahuasca after a year or so of it being on my radar. I thought about how people usually use it for ceremonies as stated in this video, more specifically its used for ceremonies in the forest or jungles. I considered the fact that hunting while using the psychedelic can be a very grounding experience and could further connect ones self to our ancient ancestors. I had the idea that maybe having a ceremony with some close friends and hunting together like our ancient ancestors would open many doors we were previously unaware of. Thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time to make something as informal as this video. I thought that you had a least several thousand subscribers due to the sheer amount of professionalism in this video. you've done an amazing job with this highly informal piece of media, everything from the directness and information in your communication to the viewer, to the fact that you picked a perfect recording location, and you even quoted and referred to several books and ideas which further shows how well constructed this video is. of course I don't have to restate what you've done in your own video, bein you are the one who made it loll, but you do deserve a lot of recognition for your hard work. Thank you for making this video and I truly believe that in the very near future you will reach a significantly wider audience and make a positive impact on how people feel towards psychedelic substances. once more thank you so much!!
