- Fear the forest?!
I don’t agree that humans feared the forest for most of our history. Cite the evidence Mr. Nelson.
Challenge claims made with no evidence Chris.
I think ancient humans understood and navigated nature superbly well with minimal fears.

Podcast Addict22 months agomarkyparky- Extra positive

Stay positive, but try to empathize or walk-a-mile in the shoes ... more
Apple Podcasts5WilderLeadUnited Statesa year ago - Very Guest Dependent
So while I’m giving it three stars, it’s more like a middle point between 5 and 2. James Krellenstein’s episodes are amazing, for example, but many episodes can fall into nuclear advocacy traps, such as excessive hippie punching. Hence, this is a series which can be great, but is very uneven.
