5 - Christopher Nyerges Interview

This week, I step away from my Skype interview setup to head out into the urban wild with Los Angeles-based survivalist (and National Geographic Doomsday Preppers alum) Christopher Nyerges, who has taught wild food foraging, wilderness skills, and ecology awareness to nature-starved urbanites for the past five decades. Christopher was the editor of the former Wilderness Way magazine, and is also a prolific writer, having authored thousands of articles and more than 20 books on the skills of self-reliance, including How to Survive Anywhere, Guide to Wild Foods and Useful Plants, Foraging California, and Extreme Simplicity: Homesteading in the City.In many ways, that latter title could serve as the theme of his life's work, as I learned in this forthright conversation with Christopher about our societal obsession with money, his School of Self-Reliance, and what’s driven him to live a (some might say, though I wouldn’t) radically spartan, even off-grid existence in a city where materialism seems to know no bounds. I also got a literal taste of Christopher’s vast wild food knowledge, thanks to the accompanying edible plant walk he took me on in Pasadena’s Hahamongna Watershed Park.

Extreme Simplicity - Christopher Nyerges

Ancient Writings On Rock: Evidence for Pre-Columbian European Presence North of Los Angeles Is there evidence that people from other countries came to North America in the pre-Columbian era? Many books today say yes (Zuni Enigma, Maya Genesis, America B.C., Pale Ink, and many others). This book details a discovery of two engraved stones in the Angeles National Forest, and unique details about the site. The books explains the author's discovery, and his process of attempting to translate the marks on the rock, which he believed were linguistic. Eventually, many other unique features were found on this site which makes the site completely normal for a European ceremonial site, except that the site is not Europe. Nyerges shares the pros and cons from the various experts that he spoke with.He shares both the supportive experts, as well as those who said these features were nothing more than freaks of nature.Nyerges shares the extensive literature on this subject, and provides enough details so that the reader can ascertain if this is fact or fiction.Christopher Nyerges, documents his discovery of two inscribed rocks in the Angeles National Forest, and how these rocks were eventually translated. One boulders reads as a funerary epitaph, and the other is the name of a Celtic goddess.
