Here we go

Hello Everyone,

Due to time constraints, Eli, and I (and our cameraperson) will be leaving this Thursday and returning home the 20th or 21st of June. We will most likely spend a solid 14 days living primitively in the wilderness. As for the publicity of the journey, we saw it best to just do it, film it and put it together after. Often times stories like this don't develop until you are out there. As long as we have the experience, the footage and the will, the documentary will come together.

I wish we could have been more active on the blog, but better late than never and I'm sure we will have a world of things to discuss upon our return. I am both nervous and excited for this. Nervous for the obvious reasons. Excited cause it's rare that one gets a chance to be away from TV, cell phones and computers for more than 20 minutes these days.

Our philosophy behind this project still remains the same and it is now our job to try and convey our beliefs in a manner that is unassuming and powerful. We strongly believe that all homo sapiens, the most intelligent of the great apes, are equal. Until the human race can stop misusing religion, color, gender and every other excuse to hate each other, we will always be worse off as a species. With our incredible intelligence must come the realization that no one person is above any other.

We also feel that people have become incredibly disconnected from the home of our very recent ancestors. The wilderness. Mother nature selected us as the most dominant land creatures and you would think that we be grateful. Our progression and technological advances are astounding, but at a high cost for our home and our health. Human beings will not continue to exist much longer unless we start to respect wildlife, the environment and each other.

My hope is that by the time I am old and grey, the world will be greener, people will be healthier and the beginning of an equality movement will be on the horizon. We have to do what we can while we are here.

Anyway, we leave thursday. Thank you for reading our posts that took place once every four months. Much love for everyone. Wish us luck and good luck yourself. See you soon!

Spencer

  1. Apparently nothing, or they died out there. I'm guessing some form of failure or there would have been a large amount of fanfare when they came back.

  2. First night it rained, or got cold, they went to starbucks-just a hunch!

  3. Nu? No more updates? They did spend a week in the wilderness. That I know for sure. I also happen to know they ran home to Mom's cooking for Shabbos, but that's another story ;)
