if you go to no dark places while awake, you are missing out on some of the most extraordinary, primitive (uncivilized) places on earth. they are called caves, and they don't even require a flashlight. just a small fire of some sort, even on the end of a wooden stick - a torch.

i am not one of the "controlled fire is evil" hyper-prims. controlling fire (on an individual scale) is no different to me than a bird building a nest, or a beaver building a dam. all living things alter their environment in some way or another.

i would rather live off the detritus of civilization destroyed (along with what the natural world provides), than the conveniences provided by civilization.
