Nicholas Parker

Nic grew up with summer mountain camping trips and learning basic gardening with his grandmother. His desire for the outdoors came at an early age but only recently has he become in touch with his need for it. Nic went to college with the intention of becoming a Navy SEAL, and would have accomplished it if it hadn't been for a few minor setbacks. But in those setbacks he found himself and his connection with the natural world. As a bit of an eccentric Nic strives for the wild and ridiculous so naturally primitive skills drew him in. His background is predominately in wild foods(mushrooms specifically,) but he has spent the past year on a crash course in primitive survival techniques. Beyond foraging, his main focus is on primitive weaponry and how they were used for food and the importance they played in expanding human culture globally.
