Long ago, before we had the luxury of convenient and grocery stores, modern agriculture and “civilization”, we use to have to hunt and gather each and everyday for our days food. Each day was filled with trying to live one more using nothing but our wit, strength and endurance. The reason our bodies are so impressive today is because of the work our ancestors did, each and everyday, in order to allow our species to conquer this planet.

I watched this video a long time ago and was incredibly impressed by the use of persistence to hunt down large prey. What was once common place among our species seems sadly foreign to me, I never had to “earn” my life like our ancestors. I believe this is the reason why our species suffers from depression, anxiety and invests in materialism instead of itself, we have lost touch with our inner senses and nothing quite fills that void like earned nutrition. Notice in this video, the guy isn’t 20 years old either, he is probably healthier than most people half his age… this guy, who never had a job his entire life, never owned anything of (our perceived) value and nor has any wealth to speak off has both my instant admiration and respect. We can truly be amazing animals when the desire and circumstances warrant them. I would feel honored to be able to do this, at least once, in my life.

Could you imagine having the mental and physical strength to run for 8 straight hours in the burning sun with nothing but a spear for your diner? Think about it.
