The young man in the video on the next page made a huge decision: Leave the comfort of his home to live for a year with a group at an extreme survival school.

He leaves his family and girlfriend to learn both survival skills and to get back to his roots in terms of connecting with nature and learning how to survive in a primitive environment.

His group is given food periodically, but not enough to survive, which means they have to forage to address the deficiency. For a vegan in Toronto, that promises to be an interesting journey.

While the purpose of the camp is to teach people how to survive in the wilderness, the larger purpose is to teach them to reconnect with their roots, something many have lost touch with and more than a handful wistfully desire to reconnect with.

To see a part of his journey, check out the video on the next page.
