“very impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfk4ifx-8jw there is also a book about him. http://www.amazon.com/Last-American-Man-Elizabeth-Gilbert/dp/0142002836/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-7502667-0944707?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193705925&sr=1-1” 5:59:28 PM 10/29/07 “i swore off youtube for a while after watching that one with the giant zit... if you can medically call it that.” 6:04:42 PM 10/29/07 “Ewker, that book is pretty good. I borrowed it from Dunadan after it came out. He also has a website. It's something like turtle cove or turtle creek (Might be remembering Chuck Berry on the Turtle Creek though)” 4:55:23 AM 10/30/07 “Conway had an inability to deal with women who he saw as "mates who should adhere to his every word" ..... yikes, this guy isn't scary to people? "buried kindergarteners face up so they could get a different perspective of the woods" The reviews of the book make me want to run out and buy this book.....not. Maybe the reviews shouldn't have mentioned those aspects. I find them disturbing.” 5:09:19 AM 10/30/07 “He's distubing alright. It was actually a good read though. He pulls a, "that's not a knife, this is a knife," Crocodile Dundee moment in Harlem while visiting a friend.” 5:34:55 AM 10/30/07 “He did the whole AT with basically a hankerchief and stick slung over his should hobo style. He wound up hunting and foraging for most of his food. He took a horse and buggy trip across the great plains.” 5:35:54 AM 10/30/07 5:36:45 AM 10/30/07 “dayhiker, thanks I will check it out” 5:51:02 AM 10/30/07 “We are eclectic, diverse, spontaneous and creative. We offer a door to a renewed vision of an ancient natural reality that governs all. With a few sticks and bones we can wake up your world! - Eustace OOOOHHHHH, you're soooo enlightened, Eustace! Okay, let's have all 7 billion people on earth shuck off "civilization" and live off the land like you do. Let's see how great life will be without governance, technology, and infrastructure! If it works on your preserve, it's gotta work everywhere, because you're a genius, right?!? Yeah, you're real original with your "get back to nature" fortune cookie philosophy and your bullsh*t macho self-actualized image. That's never been thought of before. No one has ever tried to make a living off that. Of course, you're not really trying to make a living with your money-making business and website and all. You accept donations, too, right? So it's not about making money. It's really all about Living Life Primitive. I mean you're really showing us first hand how Getting Primitive can save the world with your little nature preserve that's made possible by the property ownership laws, business law, and general peaceful order provided by civilization. It's not hypocritical at all how you use cutting-edge Mass Media to promote your business and make money. I'm not worried that I won't be able to live a great life off the land just like you, because it's not the business model and image you developed, it's the Primitive Life inside us all, yearning to get out. Oh and you're setting such a great example of how your ditch-civilzation philosophy really works, by telling us how horses are better than cars. I'm so glad you provide Detailed Directions on how to DRIVE to your preserve, so I can saddle up my horse and get there, but of course not before I pay you several hundred dollars over the Internet. This guy is obviously the Real Deal. A modern Jesus Effin Christ with a message of Salvation. The ONLY path to salvation that is. Everyone else is going to Hell in the civilization handbasket. REPENT! GET PRIMITIVE!” 6:18:09 AM 10/30/07 “ ![]() Look at this Jackass. He's like a (much) more intelligent and resourceful MarkO, but also just as annoyingly assclownish as MarkO.” 6:23:47 AM 10/30/07 “anyone know who this troll is?” 6:26:37 AM 10/30/07 “Mutt” 6:27:49 AM 10/30/07 “Hi!” 6:31:05 AM 10/30/07 “Hello.....nice little primitive 'setup' he got goin there, i agree.........kinda like mr. horseywhisperer.......” 6:52:05 AM 10/30/07 “better get my halloween on.........” 6:56:32 AM 10/30/07 “I thought it was a good book. He's definately an accomplished man. He seems to come full circle in himself just like society has. Well that doesn't quite put it right. He seems to have evolved himself as society has over the last three thousand years or so. It's an interesting read.” 9:43:40 AM 10/30/07 Mutt, “Other than the unneeded swipe at MarkO, I think your rant has the guy pegged. (Just my net nanny comment of the day.)” 9:50:04 AM 10/30/07 “Honestly I do find him somewhat paradoxical. He preaches about living off the land but encourages his apprentices to go dumpster diving, and even teaches them how to do it safely and not get caught.” 9:55:10 AM 10/30/07
