Rewild and survive!

Rewilding, in biological terms, is the process of releasing a once domesticated animal back into the wild.  We cannot forget that humans are animals, and thus can be released back into the wild too.  We must rewild ourselves in order to re-experience what is means to be human.  This does not only include the things that we do, but also how we think, and how we live.  The following are links to websites that can help you start the rewilding process, however, you cannot rewild through the internet.  The best thing you can do is go outside, and try to experience the world.  Go hiking, go camping, go nature-watching, gather some wild foods, maybe practice a skill or two - its a start!
