Economy of Environment
Subconsciously or consciously, we learn that we cant take more than we give and that what we put out, comes back. We have not lost our ability to connect with our environment. It is foreign to connect to the "economy" of any other environment. When we walk in the woods the rules of respect still apply. Avoid the spider webs, avoid stepping on the bugs, dont step on mouse burrows in winter, throw trash out responsibly, clean up, take life to feed, avoid unnecessary chewing of the seed. We cant be perfect all the time, but in time - in any environment - we find the keys to getting better at existing there.
The economy of our environment will reward us if we are trapped in the bush, living in the bush, or making a purchase at a super market. We respect all creatures plant and animal (which includes us humans) and this is, in part, how to survive in the bush. Give as you know - take a fruit and spit some of the seeds to spread them. You may notice more of the fruit. You may appreciate the value of that shrub to better your own existence.
Economy of environment explains why the deer foot is so small and their movement so graceful through the wood. Avoid unnecessary plunder, be rewarded with minimal detection, pursuit, and maintain your sustenance. Evolution is directed by an organisms struggle to survive in the environment. A struggle that is always a give and take.
Its never man vs. wild - bush men know this. Man vs wild is like saying man vs city... The most badass creature, the North American bison, still has to submit and pay their due to nature, an example being the sacrifice of a herd member to feed wolves on the chase or having hoofs that churn the soil - evolved adaptations that help thier enviroment and in return they are helped.
Stepping into the wood, is like flying to a whole new country or getting a new job; the longer you are there, the better you understand it, the better you become at supporting it, and it in return, it helps you in your struggles of the day to day.
The lesson: apply ones self in a thoughtful positive way, the best way you know how, even if you dont think you understand the language or look the same and that environment will return the gesture. Dont give up on the effort of looking after yourself.
