Using the Science From the Age Shawn Wood Teaches Stone Age Bowmaking and Demonstrates Our Ancestors' Intelligent Problem Solving

Otzi the Iceman dead in icy weather and was found so intact that scientists were able to retrieve blood cells, clothes, shoes, and tools that he had been using. They found meals he had eaten still digesting. Information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi. Died around 5,000 years ago in a suspected murder.

One of the things I love about Primitive Skills is that they gave me a sense of how intelligent our ancestors were. They used a lot of science and they had an understanding of how to live on the landscape and knew the utility of the plants and animals around them well. Without plastic and cities extracting resources from the country, these people had to rely on their landscape and imagination and problem solving abilities are part of the problem solvers we remain today.

These people were not cavemen. That's kind of a falsity. Anybody foregoing the modern trappings of life will have to live creatively and intelligently as they did before.

Shawn Wood is a bowmaker who breaks down the process for making primitive arrows and bows as Otzi used. He offers videos about Primitive Bow Hunting on his youtube site.

His skills are fantastic! Check it out!

What Am I doing?

Today I am working on box splits. I will focus on it until I've achieved it. Box splits are a baseline for flexibility. Improving it will benefit my movement practice. I have hated strengthening but I want the flexibility. So I need to change my belief system about it to start liking it.

The things I need to change the most are the things I least want to do and overcoming that discomfort gives my life meaning.

Before this I needed coffee. My coffee drinking varies from unhealthy to healthy. These past few weeks, it has been a lot.



I've been looking at pictures of my changing body throughout the years in Korea and there has been a correlation between stress and belly fat. I have fluctuated between these two photo extremes. Something that is not healthy for myself and I have stabilized a lot with a low carbohydrate high fat diet with periods of high carb feeds or an earned meal, intermitten fasting, and calorie restriction.

This week I have decided to try two calorie restricted days a week of 500 to 1000 calories of a low carb, high fat diet. Tuesday I tried a fat fat and made two videos. A before:



And an after:


 One low fat, high carb refeed on Sunday evening. Three days lower carb, higher fat eating. Sometimes these days will be ultra low carb.
