Episode contains a few curse words, but that's it. Nothing more "explicit" than that.
About Roary: "Roary Kiah is a Level 3 MovNat Certified Trainer, survival expert, NOLS Wilderness First Responder, professional guide at Evergreen Wilderness Guides, and teacher of outdoor adventure camps for youth. Roary began practicing primitive skills at a young age and went on to study at Aboriginal Living Skills School to acquire a primitive and modern fire making techniques certification. A self-professed 'wannabe Neanderthal,' Roary is passionate about living a nature-immersed lifestyle and helping people reconnect to themselves through survival skills, Natural Movement, breathwork, and deep nature."
From Danny Clark, MovNat Master Instructor: “Roary is a tidal force of nature and, truth be told, just to be in his presence is an epic experience in itself! His exuberance for Nature and practicing/applying survival skills is absolutely contagious. His teachings make becoming connected and comfortable in Nature a practice where toughness, rapture, and confidence merge effortlessly. I really look forward to attending this event as a participant and being a student of Roary’s!”

Primitive shelter building
Modern and primitive fire making techniques
Water collection and treatment
Species identification and use
Natural navigation and land mapping
Efficient movement and teamwork as well as discussions about environmental adaptations as a method of healing and a strength inducing practice

6. Helmets
"Head Injuries Rising Despite Bike Helmets" by Michael Bluejay
https://bicycleuniverse.com/head-injuries-rising-despite-bike-helmets/
"But new data raise questions about that assumption. The number of head injuries sustained in bicycle accidents has increased 10 percent since 1991, even as helmet use has risen sharply, according to figures compiled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. With ridership declining over the same period, the rate of head injuries among bicyclists has increased 51 percent even as the use of bicycle helmets has become widespread.
"What is going on here? No one is very sure, but safety experts stress that while helmets do not prevent accidents, they are extremely effective at reducing the severity of head injuries when they do occur. Almost no one suggests that riders should stop wearing helmets, which researchers have found can reduce the severity of brain injuries by as much as 88 percent.
...
"Specialists in risk analysis argue that something else is in play. They believe that the increased use of bike helmets may have had an unintended consequence: Riders may feel an inflated sense of security and take more risks.
...
"But the most effective way to reduce severe head injuries may be to decrease the number of accidents in the first place."

9. Mirror Neurons
i. "Mirror Neurons After a Quarter Century: New light, new cracks" by JohnMark Taylor
https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2016/mirror-neurons-quarter-century-new-light-new-cracks/
"What about the human brain allows a person to perform such feats as learning guitar through imitation, empathizing with anothers’s pain, or intuiting where a fencer will strike next? Nearly twenty-five years ago, scientists discovered a special kind of cell called a mirror neuron that many both in science and the popular press came to believe might enable social skills like these, skills that underlie much of what makes us uniquely human. However, after a quarter century, dozens of experiments, and reams of popular articles, the true significance of these cells has become increasingly controversial.
"Mirror neurons have begun to assume a humbler identity than was initially theorized, but it is important to remember that despite recent criticism, their activity may still play an important role in many behaviors. For instance, even Gregory Hickok, perhaps the most prominent critic of the hype surrounding mirror neurons, accepts that they probably play a role in enabling imitation, given that there must be some mechanism in the brain that converts an observed action to a series of muscle commands. Much research remains to be done; for instance, there has yet to be a study that specifically disables mirror neurons (an experiment that recent technological advances may make possible in monkeys), which would help to elucidate what exact behaviors rely on these neurons. Now that the hype around mirror neurons has begun to dissipate, it will be interesting to see what role remains for these curious cells."
ii. "What Happened to Mirror Neurons?" Cecilia Heyes and Caroline Catmur
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1745691621990638
"In conclusion, it turns out that mirror neurons contribute to complex control systems rather than dominating such systems or acting alone. Their contributions are at a relatively low level—for example, to body movement discrimination rather than intention reading. And rather than being immutable units from birth, mirror neurons acquire their mirror properties through sensorimotor learning and change them by the same route. Although disappointing relative to some early claims, we argue that these discoveries should not discourage further research on mirror neurons."
10. Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why by Laurence Gonazalez
https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Survival-Who-Lives-Dies/dp/0393353710/
A good book, but it has some poor ideas about human psychology and human consciousness at the beginning, then sprinkled throughout.

36 Danny Clark on Appreciating Nature, Awareness, Mindfulness, and Contemplation
31 OTT 2021 · Today, movement/fitness expert Danny Clark joins us to talk about the mental side of fitness/movement and being outdoors. This was a fascinating discussion.
Danny discusses:
-why we need this
-what contemplation is and why its important
-what might get in the way
-education
-science
-ancient Greece
-total focus
-meditation, contemplation, awareness, trance
-and more
Danny's Bio (expert from https://www.movnat.com/danny-clark/): "Throughout his youth Danny was recognized for his exceptional athletic talents. His training in wrestling and judo earned him a Division 1 scholarship to the University of Virginia. An injury abruptly ended his wrestling career, but fortunately instigated a transition into Brazilian jiu jitsu and MMA training. He would go on to win a bronze medal for Team USA at the UWW World Grappling Championships in Krakow, Poland in 2012. All along, Danny has immersed himself in many alternative arts, such as yoga and kettlebell training, in an effort to correct some of the imbalances and wear his body had accumulated from years of heavy physical stress. But nothing had a more profound or long-lasting effect than training first-hand with Erwan Le Corre. He learned that MovNat could heal years of abuse, neglect, and over-specialization. After he received his Level II Certification, he immediately started implementing the MovNat method into his coaching and classes and saw great results. Natural Movement® provided a solid movement, skill, and physical foundation for everyone while fixing many glaring issues of the fitness industry. Danny went on to complete his level III certification and is now a MovNat Master Instructor."

1. ""ALL men by nature desire to know. An indication of this is the delight we take in our senses; for even apart from their usefulness they are loved for themselves; and above all others the sense of sight. For not only with a view to action, but even when we are not going to do anything, we prefer seeing (one might say) to everything else. The reason is that this, most of all the senses, makes us know and brings to light many differences between things. " -- Aristotle (http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/metaphysics.1.i.html)
2. In the book Galileo Galilei – When the World Stood Still, Atle Naess wrote:
“Galileo’s radical renewal sprang, nevertheless, from the Aristotelian mind set, as it was taught at the Jesuits’ Collegio Romano: human reason has a basic ability to recognize and understand the objects registered by the senses. The objects are real. They have properties that can be perceived, and then ‘further processed’ according to logical rules. These logical concepts are also real (if not in exactly the same way as the physical objects).”
3. A quote of Galileo himself that shows the importance of Aristotle to science and all human reasoning, and that identifies a basic principle of reason and logic: they are based on the evidence of the senses.
"I should even think that in making the celestial material alterable, I contradict the doctrine of Aristotle much less than do those people who still want to keep the sky inalterable; for I am sure that he never took its inalterability to be as certain as the fact that all human reasoning must be placed second to direct experience."
From the Second Letter of Galileo Galilei to Mark Welser on Sunspots, p. 118 of Discoveries and Opinions of Galileo, translated by Stillman Drake, (c) 1957 by Stillman Drake, published by Doubleday Anchor Books, Doubleday & Co., Garden City, New York.
4. "Here is a lesson that we’re going to be taught again and again in the coming years: Most animals are not just animals. They’re also collections of microbes. If you really want to understand animals, you’ll also have to understand the world of microbes inside them. In other words, zoology is ecology." -- Ed Yong, “Gut Bacteria Allows Insect Pest to Foil Farmers.” ©2013 by National Geographic Society (as used on a Fall 2020 PSAT test)

14. "The Greek word that usually gets translated as “happiness” is eudaimonia, and like most translations from ancient languages, this can be misleading. The main trouble is that happiness (especially in modern America) is often conceived of as a subjective state of mind, as when one says one is happy when one is enjoying a cool beer on a hot day, or is out “having fun” with one’s friends. For Aristotle, however, happiness is a final end or goal that encompasses the totality of one’s life. It is not something that can be gained or lost in a few hours, like pleasurable sensations. It is more like the ultimate value of your life as lived up to this moment, measuring how well you have lived up to your full potential as a human being."

35 Five Fitness Experts on Nature, Fitness Indoors and Outdoors, and MovNat
30 OTT 2021 · Today, we talk with folks from the MovNat Level 3 Certification in Glorietta, NM, September 2021, about fitness, the broader idea of human movement, nature, culture, and being a good human animal. Joining us is Nate Smith, Nate Amado, Rock Hancock, Scott Southworth, and Mason Maas. Enjoy!
Nate Smith: "Nate was raised in the mountains of front range CO. With the state land as his backyard his interests were shaped quickly by the landscape and culture of his mountain community. Today he serves as a Sacred hunting guide, Movnat L3 instructor, lifestyle coach, and works part time in the outdoor industry to fuel his passion for skiing, rock climbing, and hunting. "
Rock Hancock: "Brian 'Rock' Hancock believes that exercise and physical activity should celebrate the body’s capabilities. As a Level 2 MovNat Certified Trainer and a Certified Health Coach, Rock has over 12 years experience working with various fitness backgrounds. He has assisted a range of clients, from the United States Marine Corps to those in corporate settings. He practices what he teaches. A look into his home would prove that a 2x4 sits in the living room for balance practice. His favorite natural movement skills are lifting, carrying, and jumping. In his free time, he loves cooking for his wife and sons."
Scott Southworth: "Scott is an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, MovNat Level 2 Trainer (working on Level 3!), and CrossFit Level 1 Trainer. in his gym practice, he specializes in weight loss, strength training, bodyweight training, and back and joint pain. He believes that our bodies are meant to be extensions of ourselves. He comes from a background in wrestling and freerunning where he used his body to explore and define who he was as a person. Since then, he's gotten involved in obstacle course races, endurance challenges, rock climbing, and a host of other activities. His training focuses on preparing for what life might throw at us. Whether that’s sprinting up stairs so we don’t miss a flight, helping a family member move into their new place, or playing a pickup game of basketball, he believes in a useful type of fitness. He's been involved in fitness for thirteen years and professionally training others for over a decade. Everyday he makes it his goal to better himself and grow as a trainer just as he asks his clients to better themselves and move toward their goals every day."
Nate Amado: "Nate grew up a fairly weak and skinny kid, and having asthma didn’t help -- running out of breath trying to keep up with friends was discouraging. He didn’t feel strong, good at sports, or capable enough to defend himself (never mind others). He only played on a sports team once growing up, basketball in 3rd grade, and only made the free throws. It wasn't until his senior year in high school when he intently started pursuing new physical & mental challenges, starting out with high school wrestling. It was great, he won his first match or two, and got his ass handed to me for the rest of them. He loved it, and only wished he had started sooner. Later, when he discovered MovNat from the video "The Workout the World Forgot", he realized, 'THIS IS IT!' He felt that it was everything in one, the most complete system. He knew, right then and there, that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He went on to receive the MovNat Level 2 & Combatives Certifications (Mar & Jul 2016), The Human Path Scout Certification (Oct 2017), the Level 3 MovNat Certification (Oct 2017), a Purple Belt in BJJ (Dec 2017), the Primal Health Coaching Certification (Apr 2018), the MovNat Aquatics Certification (Sept 2018, officially earning all 5 MovNat certs and becoming a MovNat Master Trainer), the Gracie Combatives Belt Certification (twice - Jan & Jul 2020), and am currently on the path to becoming a certified Gracie Jiu Jitsu Instructor (July 2021), and a MeatRx Animal-Based Nutrition Coach (June 2021)."
Mason Maas: "Mason is currently studying for a Doctorate in Acupuncture, He has a Masters in Acupuncture and a B.S. in Exercise and Sports Science. He is working on his MovNat Level 3 certification, but has earned his MovNat Level 2 Certification. He is also an NASM Master Trainer, a Corrective Exercise Specialist, and a Performance Enhancement Specialist."

30 Tom Brown III on Human Life, Education, and Our Need for Nature
10 MAR 2021 · Tom Brown III is back. In this episode, we delve into the importance of nature to our well-being and into how to live and thrive as the human animal that we are.
Tom's bio: Tom, otherwise known as “T3”, has been a practitioner and teacher of primitive living skills, wilderness survival, tracking, and nature observation from an early age. Growing up in New Jersey at the Tracker School, he was raised with deep reverence and respect for wild places and the skills our ancestors used to live close to the land. After graduating high school, he spent a few years wandering the country, practicing the skills he learned as a child in both urban and wilderness environments. He eventually returned to Tracker School and after a few years became head instructor and director of operations. In 2009 he left Tracker School to start the Primitive Arts Collective, an outdoor education program that sought to teach people in small groups in many different states across the country. In 2016 Tom moved to Oregon and now works with Trackers Earth. Tom’s role at Tracker’s Earth involves being both the land steward and an adult educator. His unique insight and first-hand knowledge about how large groups of people interact with the landscape help him and the Tracker’s team ensure healthy land management practices. These pratices will benefit not only the students but also the wild things that are the centerpiece of these rural locations. Tom loves all things wild and free. During his downtime, you can find him on a river somewhere fly-fishing for steelhead with his Spey rod and exploring all the beautiful things the PNW has to offer. He is also the Foraging/Homesteading Coordinator and contributor for Anchored Outdoors.

a. the stars for ancient Platonists seem to be like modern technology for too many moderns: it distracts them from and pulls their attention from life, the earth, and reality. Aristotle calls us to focus on life and this earth, and to be real.
b. A quote about Darwin and Aristotle: "Charles Darwin's famous 1882 letter, in which he remarks that his ‘two gods’, Linnaeus and Cuvier, were ‘mere school‐boys to old Aristotle’, has been thought to be only an extravagantly worded gesture of politeness. However, a close examination of this and other Darwin letters, and of references to Aristotle in Darwin's earlier work, shows that the famous letter was written several weeks after a first, polite letter of thanks, and was carefully formulated and literally meant. Indeed, it reflected an authentic, and substantial, increase in Darwin's already high respect for Aristotle, as certain documents show. It may also have reflected some real insight on Darwin's part into the teleological aspect of Aristotle's thought, more insight than Ogle himself had achieved, as a portion of their correspondence reveals."

29 Ecologist Dr. Mark Elbroch on Cougar Ecology and More
12 DIC 2020 · In this episode, Dr. Mark Elbroch joins us to discuss:
-his background
-how he became interested in nature
-the professional work he has done
-what he has learned in studying Mountain Lions
-the nature of Mountain Lions (aka Cougar, Puma, Panther)
-what you can do do protect yourself from predators -- in the extremely rare even you encounter one
-Kyle Burgess, "The Cougar Guy," and his Mountain Lion encounter that went viral
-myths, fictions, truths, and facts about Mountain Lions
About Mark: "Mark Elbroch serves as the Director for Panthera's Puma Program, for which he designs conservation research for mountain lions in North and South America. He has contributed to mountain lion research and conservation in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, California, Mexico, Chile, and now in Washington and Argentina. His research is contributing radical changes to what we thought we knew about mountain lions, especially with regards to their social lives and their keystone roles in ecosystems. His work has been covered by the BBC, NatGeo Wild, New York Times, National Public Radio, the Washington Post, among others. He received a 2011 Robert and Patricia Switzer Fellowship for his past and potential environmental leadership, and was the recipient of the prestigious Craighead Conservation Award in 2016, an award honoring individuals whose work has achieved 'lasting conservation outcomes.'
"Mark was awarded a Senior Tracker Certificate by CyberTracker Conservation in Kruger National Park, South Africa in 2005, after successfully following lions across varied terrain. He was the 17th person to receive one and the first non-African. He is the Initial Evaluator for CyberTracker Tracker Evaluations in North America (http://trackercertification.com/), where they have been used to test observer reliability in wildlife research and as an educational tool by nonprofit organizations. Mark received an honorary Master Tracker Certificate in 2015 for significant contributions to the conservation of tracking knowledge and the trackers themselves. He has authored/coauthored 11 books on natural history, including The Cougar Conundrum: Sharing the world with a successful predator. More can be found at https://markelbroch.com/."
