A recent episode of the trvel show GLOBETRECKER involved the young lady traveling with a Saami family. You actually see a reindeer ( well not the throatcutting, man thoughtfully turned his back to camera)butchered and cooked for dinner. The mother took a Lueko and with a light fingertip stroke harvested birch branches for the floor's bedding and insulation uder reindeer robes.The floor had been shovelled to permfrost by a-shovel.

I didn't see the Saami stabbing car doors,arguing over exotic metallurgys or what to put in the hollow handle.Catch any number of Amazon based films and some guy is swinging a Tramontina that even in the USA cost more to ship than actually buy.

The fundamental difference between these two examples and ourselves is apparent. This is theeir HOME. We go into the world, the REAL world as visitors and aliens and start building Swiss Family Robinson Treehouses.
