Apocalypse Survival Skill #5: Tactical H...

HOW TO SURVIVE THE END OF THE WORLD
About this episode

What behaviors and choices make the difference between life and death in a disaster? What are the skills that will matter most in a crisis, and how do we learn them? Autumn interviews the brilliant founders of Queer Nature, who lead workshops and immersions teaching survival skills and natural crafts. In the first of two conversations, Queer Nature drops wisdom on how the mind and body respond to crisis, how non-human systems can be our allies, and what trauma has to do with our survival.

Music by Tunde Olaniran, Kaela Drew and Mother Cyborg.
