Good place to post old photos of hunter gatherers and their physiques, while they were still on their tradition diets and had active lives ;)

Here' a pic for starters

Impossible to find an old Inuit/Eskimo photo on traditional diet without a coat.

Hunting, was one main highly physical exercise, many methods on hunting, and many way to do it.
Primitive hunting must have been a crazy workouts sometimes, before bows came along.

Yeah, I would love to try bat too.

@wodgina Hah, yeah, scars tell stories. I got of few of my own. The biggest one is one my back leg, about 5in. long, jumped across a car, and my leg slid down a broken antenna, just cut right up the back of my thigh.

In some of the newer looking ones they might have not been on their tradition diet. But they definitely just did everyday activities for exercise.

Interesting pics, it shows how much we have devolved in terms of physical fitness on average. Those were probably regular people in their tribe.

I think they would have more fat on them if they lived in a colder climate.

No I don't think he did get to fight in what you saw. Too dnagerous, legal issues etc.

nice sully. We all need to have an annual hunt. Lets all get together at some wild location and hunt barefoot with spears and knives, then at the end of the day we will eat our kill(s) raw by the fire. We'll just live off the land for a few days. No tents or anything.

yes, that's the idea. that's the reason we need a land where we all go hunting together. we need lots of people to support us to make our dream come true.  ;D

Nice, spring is a good time. Baby deer can be killed with bare hands!

Following wolves or other predators is good too. Let them do the work, then we swarm them with sticks. Paleo people must have done this.

Yeah, we need some land! Maybe we should all donate money for a paleo land!

Yeah, I mean when you think about it, it would strengthen our spirits to come together in unity. Every day, we bare this diet on our shoulders alone. I'm not saying its bad, but it wouldn't hurt to get together and converse. Actually meet.

We are eating healthy but alone, well most of us. Social eating is better for mental health as a human being. Sharing meat :)

Sully, I know this is off topic, but you seem around my age so I have a question for you. Where do you get affordable grass fed finished fat? I just got some grainfed suet from the butcher because that is the only source of fat I can get around me as of now(unless I find another source). I dont know if it is worth it to eat the grainfed suet or not, what you think? All the online sites sell the stuff for a hefty price.

if you can drive from pa to nj, you can get the best quality suet from me for free. also i can introduce my farmer who lives in pa and he can provide that to you. he's little expansive though.
