We all love convenience and consider ourselves children of civilization. However, sometimes people appear who are drawn to return to the origins of human development, to remain alone with nature and find out whether modern man is still capable of holding out in wild conditions. This is how Lynx Wilden has lived for almost 40 years. In Washington state, far from cities and towns, she set up her own mini-reserve. They live here only by its rules - the way people of the Stone Age lived.
Today the name Lynx Wilden is becoming more and more famous. A woman leads a secluded life, independently providing herself with absolutely everything necessary: food, clothing and household items. All that is needed for this, she takes only in nature, so she can rightfully be called a "man of the Stone Age." However, it took a long time for such a savage to come to life.
Lynx grew up in a completely ordinary English family. As a teenager, she moved to live in the United States and here she became addicted to extreme hiking in the wild. She was always interested in survival methods. She studied this complex art wherever she could: from the Indians of Arizona, and New Mexico, in Montana and Lapland. She mastered and tested life in various types of national dwellings in different climatic zones: wigwams, yurts, snow igloos and homemade huts. The woman constantly went on long hikes and got food herself, mastering hunting and obtaining edible plants. At the same time, she always deliberately remained without communication with the outside world. No technical devices, only nature and man - one on one.
Acquaintances believed that over the years Lynx would settle down, start a family and turn into an ordinary housewife, but this did not happen. Even the birth of her daughter did not affect her views. It is not known whether she took the baby with her on long hikes, but her lifestyle did not change after this event. By the age of 46, Lynx Wilden already had a very serious baggage of accumulated knowledge and skills necessary for life in the wild, and during this period of her life she got the opportunity to realize it. Having inherited from her parents, the woman immediately bought a large plot of land in the US state of Washington. Of course, this territory was as far away as possible not only from large cities, but also from small settlements. Here, in the land of incredible landscapes and wilderness, Lynx finally settled down and built her own home.
It is difficult to judge this, but, most likely, she nevertheless used someone's help to assemble the frame of a log house, but this was the only concession to society. No electricity or gas, no technology or gadgets - Lynx is "stuck in time" somewhere between the Stone Age and the XXI. She uses candles and a kerosene lamp for lighting, heats her home with a fireplace, and herself obtains and makes everything else that is necessary for life. Sometimes, tired of the extra "comforts" of her already too equipped little world, she goes into the forest and spends the night there right on the ground.
Despite the fact that Lynx lives absolutely alone, she cannot be called a recluse. From time to time she visits the nearest town to sit in the public library at the computer - the "wild woman" has her own website where she talks about life in the wild. And secondly, Lynx is the author of the "Stone Age" project. Under her leadership, groups of people who want to join the ancient life say goodbye to civilization for a month and set off on a journey into the past of mankind. All this time, the group is in the wild, mastering survival skills and techniques that once allowed our ancestors to equip their life. Tourists hunt, learn to store food, process skins and sew their own clothes, make bows, from which they then learn to shoot. All this without telephones and modern gadgets.
Many then talk about a very special state of consciousness, which they achieve, realizing that they are really cut off from the shops and the opportunity to buy any necessary item. Today Lynx is 56 years old, but the woman, unlike her advisers, does not even think about retirement. In February 2020, for example, she supervised an experiment that was carried out in a primitive village recreated at the Finnish Archaeological Center for Cultural Tourism and the Study of the Kierikki Primitive Society. A group of ten people on the banks of the Iijoki River, at the site of a Stone Age man, tried to survive in the harsh Finnish winter. The aim of the study was to study and master the techniques and skills that allowed our ancestors to conquer the once northern territories.
Probably, in fact, we have not changed so much over several thousand years of human history, because sometimes we all want to pick up a bow, make arrows and go to the forest for prey. Truth is, not everyone, like Lynx Wilden, turns these dreams into reality.
Undoubtedly, the Vietnamese Mowgli will also go down in history. Will not leave anyone indifferent the amazing story of a man who lived in the jungle for 41 years.
