Escaping Society

Twelfth season finale! And whew... we barely pulled this off. Looking forward to a break and, if I'm lucky, less talking, talking, and more listening to the wind, the water, the fire, and things that matter.

On the road again, we discuss what we're leaving, where we're going, and how the ecotone between the two has been treating us. And then... we talk about other things that I'm not remembering. I look forward to listening to this one myself!

Busy time for us, but here's what we've got. How to be an anti-anti-anti-racist.

With the soft music of gumby's abbreviated coughs and productive nose blowing in the background, we take you on a journey through Teresa's gaulded a-hole into exploited children, Marxist perverts, hitchhiking red flags, Nazi Reading Hours for children, and spoilers on a couple of shows. Our time indoors continues. Leave your souls at the door.

We've been indoors for a week and we're feeling all kinds of out-of-sorts so... I don't even know what the hell we were trying to talk about for a lot of this episode. And that's the kind of hot mess that this is. Enjoy!

We pick up where we left off two years ago with the buddha's Great Departure from the kingdom in his quest for liberation, and end at his first great understanding of The Middle Way.

Broadcasting from our little cloud of stink, we celebrate signs of Spring, cycles within cycles within cycles, the Way of the Wasp, tire sandals, pine carpeting, frigging, Dun, coffee filters, and we sprinkle it all with a touch of Cedar Fever! Our mental bowel movement here is assisted by Andy Ward, Tom Brown Jr., Daniel Quinn, the Hairy Potter, Charlie Cheon, Samuel Thayer, Tom Elpel, Rufus, Rerun, Martin Lawrence, Albert Camus, Terrence K. Williams, the Kalahari Bushmen, Laurens van der Post, the CryptoNaturalist, and many others, and I'm sure they couldn't all be prouder! Bing.

Doin' some f$ckin' spring cleanin', y'all. Catharsis for the shadows in our souls... we purge, we f$cking puurrrgggge!

We're surviving Imbolc. This week has sucked, y'all. This week sucks so much, if we'd put it to work at a truck stop we'd be rich. We celebrate Sherlocke's birthday, remember T's dad, Mike, and g's mom, Nancy, discuss our whispering demons, and oh, here's how to hard-boil eggs: Cover eggs with water, bring to a boil, remove from boil and let sit for 12 minutes, drain, then run eggs under cold water. Ta-daaa...

S'aponin, essays? What'choo want? We got quotes; we got William Shatner, Vernor Vinge, John Trudell... You like thinking? Or thinking about thinking? Well, we think about Fermi's Paradox, chasing dreams, sarcasm, hell, we thinkin' thoughts we never thunk before! No? Maybe you one ‘o them evil nerds inventing us into oblivion. Well we got ramblins for the Nerds of Hell too; we got the Singularity, EMPs, Forever Chemicals, we got deep fakes, Deep Voodoo, which all puts us in deep sh$t. And stick around till the end- we even gots Asian girls doing “bush craft” with their tiny hands after dark... listen now! Tom Waits for no man! We got a little something for ever'body and their half brothers!

Little bit of Ayn Rand and Diogenes, little bit of M3GAN and The Northman. I share some of the many things I'm learning and experimenting with regarding bushcraft cleaning, Teresa discusses a plane crash in Nepal and the passing of an elder, and Sherlocke don't discuss squat.

We ring in the New Year with burning plastic and blowjob spots! Welcome to season twelve. Stick around and learn you a little something about van repair, the power of tripods, how to survive a mini Ice Age, public shaming for non-compliers, the benefits of hunger, and there may even be a Hooters calendar. All this and more, this week on... Escaping Society...

Happy Thanksgiving and Friday of Color, y'all! We battle against the interference of a weed high that got right on top of us and technical difficulties, maybe from the Technological Singularity itself. We do a thorough book report on Weinstein and Heying's “A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century”, apologize to Gabby Petito and for our “Hobo Buddy Burner” YouTube video, share comments from our YouTube channel (even the ones with negative condensation), and give deep thanks for unrepeatable days, winter boots, freedom (and justice!), Rambo, and eachother. Season finale here, folks. Eleven seasons. And the “escaping society” experiment continues...

We do a book report with dramatic readings from “Gender Queer”, quote Henry Rollins, Tim from Maine, and Shannon from Creedmoor, talk about racism, racism, and more racism, the reincarnation of grass mats, outwoking the woke, how to be hated, and gumby announces his bid for president 2024 on a Dark Age platform with his new preferred pronoun- spitting.

A thick piece of fluffy white bread... “It's the dramatic return of your friend from afar, Mike H.!”... and a thin crusty heel of bread on top, mustard optional.

We go digging into the past to research the origins of where our current cultural views of sex and gender come from. Alfred Kinsey, the father of sex, and John Money, the father of gender. Listen, and then you decide... IS ALL “love” “good love”?

We just let ourselves talk for as long as we felt like it. Our conversation took us into Subway, 2,500 years back in time, across the sea to China, past Smugville, into another look at Bernays, old white men, and Alone... where they're killing the poor white weasel. We even take a stab at answering that question only puzzling to our modern culture, what is a woman? So build your cabin, tighten your belt, and see how long you can hang without hitting that red button.

Here. We discuss farts... again... I know, I know, but YOU try living in a van with an old dog and a girl from OH and see if farts are not a big part of life. We also share an article about a woman warning against van life, and then spend the rest of the episode discussing views that we have changed since we started the podcast. Trigger warning for sensitive listeners. There's even a wild Persimmon orchard along the way!

Teresa recaps her trip up to OH to visit family, we discuss the disease of the mind spreading through our society, and some other stuff...

All by my lonesome... I ramble on. When the looord made meee... he made a raaamblin' man.

Heading down from God's country, Mount Olympus, back to dirty ole' Durm for the winter, we share some final thoughts and highlights about our summer in the mountains. From stories about the characters we've met to the blessings we've received, we say farewell to Paradise for the season. “The mountain's got it's own ways.” -Bear Claw

Happy Autumn Equinox! We discuss mah “Bible Flute”, the ethics of sharing food with Yellowjackets, Go Grocery, the quiet little mountain town of Spruce Pine and how insidious wokies might start a race war, the preciousness of water, and even throw in a little something for all y'all wholesome butter-based white people.

Here we go again... now with sprinkles! We share some recaps about our summer in the mountains, discuss the difference between stupidity and ignorance, and Teresa talks about her hair. Again. Y'up. It's a penetrating and cerebral brain fest here...

We're back at it. Turns out, there was a lot more to be said about how to crap in the woods...

Our final epersode, y'all! F$ck the walking dead, f$ck the machines, and double plus f$ck their dehumanizing bullsheeit and lies. We are human beings. We are the grandchildren of supernovas. We carry oceans in our veins, thunderbolts in our minds, hurricanes in our lungs, and we will never die, as they have never lived. We part ways with words of encouragement and gestures of defiance. Can you hear? Even now, the psychopaths are losing... and they're terrified. The machines are failing, fading, and what shall replace the wetiko? The return of the true human beings. Get ready.

We may be running out of things to say. It's all been said. There comes a time when talking about things needs to make way for doing them.

Here we go again... I don't even remember what we talked about so... I'll be listening to find out as well!

Nancy Sue Montgomery. June 17, 1956- February 2, 2022. She was only a hobo, but one more is gone

We unpack our tool box in Clown World, revisiting Castaneda and casting spells in the wild life. I do a commercial for King of the Mountain (now for the low low price of $800!), and we consider the three gates of speech as we jabber away about Annie Wilkins- a woman who KNEW the taste of LIFE, and about the clash between the wisdom of building tribe but not liking people. Might walking backwards or anal beads help wake you from the dream? This episode is best paired with finely ground cannabis, served with a generous side of fuck it.

Cloudy and bone chilling, we unenthusiasticly share some of our thoughts and ponderin's. Cain and Abel, our confederate dog tent, is anybody NOT brain-washed, the kindness of strangers, and the self-inflicted problem that is us are some of the topics we consider this week.

On a chilly, sunny January day, we check in about what's happenin' in our stinky sock little corner of the wilds. We discuss Dr. Robert Malone, Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen, tell-lie-vision, trying to stay anchored in sanity, and as always, ancestral skills. We explore the ethics of vetting who deserves care in a hospital, and who gets to say what is offensive? gumby takes back the more accurate term “sex change” and ditches the fallacious and manipulative “gender affirmation”. Is the plandemic beginning to wind down? What might the next phase of the plan be? And how will we continue to live with friends and family who support vaccine passports and openly say we deserve to suffer, to die, for not complying with their beliefs, their values? All this and more THIS week on... ESCAPING SOCIETY.

Oh, we got into a lil' o' EVERthin' in this episode, from Abbott and Costello and gross videos to breaking bottles and bad electricity. We discuss Facebook penalizing our page and the clear insanity of their minion “fact checkers”. We speak on hunting ethics, Charles Bukowski, rewilding... and even throw in a Keanu Reeves impression a time or three, the performance of which is STILL better than any movie the man has ever acted in!

From Christmas morning through New Year's Eve, we take you along on another week in the life of a couple of dirty, smelly, deplorable, unrepentant, unjabbed rubber tramps! And this brings the year of 2021 to a hot and uncertain close. May we take responsibility for ourselves, our choices, and move ever closer to escaping the prison walls of the limits of our perceptions, our indoctrination, our own weak excuses, of society in 2022, the year of Soylent Green. Don't just be furniture while we eat eachother! Rewild, resist, unplug, breathe, walk your talk, and take a $%@&! RISK! GO!!

It's Christmas Eve, and we turn on the recorder with no particular plan in mind. Our babbling leads us into shows we've watched, books we've read, thoughts we've thunk, smells we've stunk, and Teresa's dead dream of dentistry. Toilet blades. Fermented egg nog. Ghostbusters. Here's an hour of us. No refunds.

We indulge in some geeking out on Carlos Castaneda and the separate reality he was taught under his Yaqui teacher, Don Juan. I compiled a list of some of my favorite quotes and passages from his books, books that have been influential and stimulated many a thoughtful conversation during our days trampin'. Hope something here challenges what you think of as reality.

Wow, season ten! We catch up on our last month and a half of barbarianism, and discuss this dystopian, transhumanist shroud that's falling.
