A wild boar sounder caught on camera trap while rooting and foraging deep in the soil of a South Bohemian forest, October 2026. The lead sow is an impressively large animal – in trail cam footage she fills

Everything is dry in the forest. Rain is very rare this year, and I notice it clearly as I walk along familiar paths. Even the mushrooms, which so desperately need moisture, are now fighting for survival.

Yesterday, I retrieved my wildlife camera from the forest, and as usual, the hopes were high. After weeks of waiting, dreaming, imagining about all the small and big forest animals that would be running

What passes away nourishes what is new. The forest reminds us of this – quietly but powerfully. The fungus in the photo is a tinder fungus. A master of decomposition when it comes to dead trees. A tree

Five years ago my partner and I had the opportunity to become caretakers of a large, mostly abandoned homestead in the mountains of rural Argentina. After backpacking for years, moving from farm to farm

My host and her daughter have a lot of animals living with them. They have like 8 dogs, 6 ducks, 12 chickens, two geese, and two rabbits. I have the intention of doing a post to show them but I keep getting

Some time ago I made a video playing the guitar but used an image where a michi was near the fire as a cover photo. This caused the disappointment of @calendulacraft as she had expected to see michis and

In the heart of the tranquil woods, where nature's symphony weaves its delicate melodies, a poignant tale of innocence and loss unfolded. On a serene day, as the gentle sunlight streamed through the rustling

I am sweaty and smelly from today's work. I enjoyed it so much i just didn't want to stop to do any self care. Actually, I'm coming to the realization that a lot of my self care had to do with the stupid

The part of me that wants to travel has finally succeeded at negotiating with the part of me that wants to stay. The deal is to do something with all the trash that I've accumulated over time with the

It is a dark day here in the forest. Seems strange that thing should become so dark and quiet after so much activity. Can't help wondering if it wasn't all a dream. Ah, but no because something was built

It's been a long time since i was so active and felt that days were so incredibly short. I am barely having any time to sit down and write but today my friends from France went to town to do some things

Hey Hive, the travelers have arrived! Days have been super busy with all the necessary things for their stay, buying stuff, explaining the workings around there, showing them around, getting to know each

I woke up at 3:32 a.m. and haven't been able to sleep thinking about many things, among them the arrival of new people into my life. This is so curious! What will they be like? Will we get along? What

All my life i have looked down upon tidiness and people who worry too much about clean spaces. I suppose this comes from growing in a family where there were too many examples of how stressed out people

People of Hive, please allow me some of your time and attention 🙏 For those that don't know much about me, I have been living in a forest of South Chile, learning through direct experience how to live

As time passes it becomes harder for me to decide what to blog about. One would think that things could become more of routine and therefore automatic, but it has been exactly the opposite. I find the
