Homeless shepherd shares hunter-gatherer diet & survival tips

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

For more than a decade, Aaron Fletcher has lived as a nomadic shepherd, mostly out of a micro-camper pulled by his sheep. He supports himself as an itinerant farmhand through work trading, bartering his sheep’s milk for food and supplies. He also skill-shares in exchange for food, “including wool felting, wool spinning, cheesemaking, survival, bushcraft, etc.”
Watch the other two stories with Aaron Fletcher's:
- Part I: On Guerrilla Grazing around Southern Oregon • Went homeless. Done Gu...
- Part III: Radical simplicity & autarky on a solo wagon micro-farm • Homeless shepherd star...
He considers himself a herder-gatherer and his diet consists of a lot of milk and cheese (courtesy of his sheep), as well as foraged foods (wild greens, seeds, and even ingredients to make his own toothpaste) and some traded meat, potatoes, and citrus (especially after learning he was deficient in Vitamin C).
He’s lived in apartments and conventional homes, and he was about to purchase a home before deciding to go nomadic a dozen years ago. He now lives all year, even during the snowy Oregon winter, in his tiny sheep cart that is fitted out with a bed, folding table, solar freezer, wood-burning stove, and solar cooker.
He defines himself as “homefree” or “the opposite of being homeless... it’s also the opposite of being housed, it’s like the third side of a coin. There have always been the haves, and the have-nots (possessions), but homefree means being a have-not-want”. Fletcher sees his sheep-pulled as the ideal-sized home: more equipped than living off pack boxes, but less cluttered than a traditional house.

    The value of this video is that without it I wouldn’t ever even imagine that someone was doing this. I feel like I’ve been really caught up and maybe feeling a little trapped in the system. It’s so refreshing to see this guy demonstrating that life isn’t limited to the lanes that are painted by other people.

    You can live outside of the system without doubling down on some demanding lifestyle like this guy. The problem with this is his lifestyle is a full time job. In the "system" you get to have time to relax and not worry about where you're going to eat/sleep.

    Intellectually I've always known there are people like this guy. They're out there living independently and way more free on a daily basis than myself. Emotionally, to see this man so in tune with the environment and forging social connections that cross multiple boundaries that serve others and his minimum needs is inspiring. I'm actually upset at my own lack of freedom and trapped lifestyle compared to him. I'm embarrassed. Now, I subscribe to a number of channels. Some are about new technology and science. Some are about history and some are about van dwellers and nomadic life styles. Some times I sub to watch and see what a channel is like. Some get dropped after a few uses or after a few years. I'm not sure how long I've been on Kristen's channel, perhaps a year or so. But this may be the best channel I have subbed ever. I can't see one reason to not watch any video she makes. The videos are very well done and interesting to me. She doesn't make the mistakes so many channels make I've used much longer but tolerate. Like redundantcy. Like assuming I have understanding incomprehension. Kirsten is a good teacher and a very good interviewer. Let me for the record say that I really respect her thoughtful skills. As for this Traveling Shepard, mad respect for his lifestyle. There was once a man he reminds me of; a gentle man of long ago.

    Love this guy so much! He is a walking talking living inspiration for humanity to thrive without money and be self sufficient. I was surprised to hear him say he’s only a step above the homeless with backpacks. I think he’s at the very very top. Thank you for another inspiring video!
