We have been around the Steemsphere for quite some time now, and have seen many things come and go. Over time, one thing we have noticed that hasn't gotten the exposure it needs (in our eyes of course) is outdoor education, living off the land, and exploring the “older” survival ways of life, which we came from.
Don't get us wrong we LOVE technology, but we feel that it is a hindrance when it comes to the natural and symbiotic relationship that we have with the earth.
With this said, We are proud to announce the creation of STEEMIT OUTDOORS!
Whats the Mission?
We as people have become too dependant on outside resources. Veggies, Fruits and meat that has been farmed somewhere and have been altered and injected with all kinds of toxic hormones, preservatives etc. We think its time to instill some knowledge that allows for us all to be less dependent on the groceries stores and such, and more dependent on our own skills as humans and as farmers,hunters,and foragers.
So... That is what we are here to bring!
Each episode will contain a type of survival skill that will be useful if ever in a survival situation. This is not some crazy extreme show, this is for the average joe. We will show our faults and fails as well as our successes! Teaching tips and tricks that could help you out in a sticky situation! We will be right there learning with you, seeing what works and what doesnt. This show is for the person who loves the outdoors and loves testing their skills, as well as the person who enjoys a good ole “survivor” type show. hint hint there will be eating of critters!
With that we give you the Premiere Trailer for Steemit Outdoors!
