If blueberries were made of meat, they’d probably be the perfect food.

The American deer camp was, between approximately 1880 and 1990, the autumn ritual of every rural family in the upper Midwest, the Northeast, and the Appalachians.

A cabin in the woods. Three or four men, three generations sometimes, who got there on the Friday before opening day, lit the wood stove, drank coffee that had been on the burner since 4am, played cards, told the same stories they had told the year before, and went out at first light on Saturday with rifles their grandfathers had owned.

A buck taken cleanly with one shot. Field-dressed in the snow. Hung in the woodshed. Butchered the next weekend in the garage with the family. Forty pounds of venison in the chest freezer. Steaks for the winter. Sausage made by the grandfather with a recipe nobody had written down. A roast for Thanksgiving. The hide tanned and turned into mittens for the youngest grandson.

The deer was free. The freezer was full. The boys learned to shoot, to clean a rifle, to gut an animal, to butcher it, to thank the woods for the deer, to be quiet for hours at dawn in the cold and notice things.

Roughly 14 million Americans hunted in 1980. By 2020 that number was 11.5 million, and the average hunter age had risen from 35 to 51. The next generation is not coming up.

Suburbanization removed the woods from the back door. Liability fears closed private lands. Public hunting access shrank. Time pressure on working families killed the long weekend at camp. The cultural drift made hunting socially suspect, then unfashionable, then, in some quarters, taboo.

The number of American teenagers who have ever fired a rifle, gutted an animal, or watched their grandfather butcher a deer in the garage on a November Sunday afternoon is, in 2026, statistically vanishing.

The freezer that used to be full of free, lean, grass-fed wild protein is full of ground beef from a Smithfield CAFO in Iowa.

The skill is one generation deep. If the grandfather did not pass it to the father, and the father did not pass it to the son, the chain is broken. YouTube is, at the moment, where the few remaining young hunters are getting most of their training.

A small American tradition that fed families for a century, taught a sequence of practical and moral lessons no textbook can replace, and connected three generations to the land their ancestors lived on, is closing down quietly, camp by camp, season by season.

The cabin is still there. The stove still works. The buck is still in the woods.

The grandfather is in the cemetery on the hill above the cabin. He cannot take the boy himself.

Somebody else has to.

@CoffeeBlackMD This is the reminder we need. Instead of looking too far ahead and getting overwhelmed... pause and take in how far you've come.

@SamaHoole I will be raising bison soon. Excited to start building our little ecosystem

@timpjohansson Drink some milk. Then drink the coffee however you want it. 🤷‍♂️

The solution is not to live for himself. It is to start becoming who he was meant to be, who God is calling him to be which still includes being a man who provides for his family and honors his commitments.

Time to start taking steps of faith in the direction he already knows he should.

If you invented a machine that could:

- Restore degraded land
- Build topsoil
- Sequester carbon
- Produce fertiliser
- Create complete protein
- Generate its own fuel
- Reproduce itself
- Require zero electricity

You'd win the Nobel Prize.

We call it Gerald and want to ban him.

There is a pattern, and it runs through everything.

The sun was free. They sold you sunscreen.
Sleep was free. They sold you pills.
Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill.
Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes.
Cold water was free. They sold you a plunge barrel.
Animal fat was free. They sold you supplements to replace what it contained.
Fermented food was free. They sold you probiotics.
Tallow was free. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine.
Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app.
Sunlight on your skin was free. They sold you vitamin D tablets.

Every single thing the human body requires to function was available, free, for the entirety of human history.

The 20th century built an industry around removing access to each of them.
The 21st century is building an industry selling them back.

Nothing about this is accidental.

Your great-grandmother had none of the products.
She had all of the things the products are compensating for.

She was, largely, fine.

@CoffeeBlackMD Where is the club meeting?

[Jocko Willink @jockowillink]

This happened.
How much of this are we supposed to accept?

[Jonathan Hunkin @JonathanHunkin]

@BiggBillBrasky @jockowillink This has 100% been THE question.

[Jonathan Hunkin @JonathanHunkin]

THIS. 1000% THIS. ALL DAY. EVERY FKNG DAY. This is also exhausting.

The most fucked up thing about modern life is that being healthy requires you to actively fight everything around you

The default food is poisoned. The default schedule destroys your sleep. The default stress level is chronic. The default medical system manages symptoms instead of finding causes. The default cooking oils are industrial waste. The default response to feeling like shit is a pill

You have to FIGHT to eat real food. FIGHT to sleep properly. FIGHT to find a doctor who investigates instead of prescribes. FIGHT to avoid seed oils at every restaurant. FIGHT to manage stress in a world designed to keep your cortisol maxed 24/7

Your great-grandfather didn't do any of this. He ate what was available and it was real. He worked physically and slept because he was tired. His food came from soil that wasn't depleted. His stress was seasonal. His gut was intact because nothing was designed to destroy it

You're not failing at health because you lack discipline. The entire system you live in is engineered to make you sick and sell you the cure

Processed food creates inflammation. The doctor prescribes an anti-inflammatory. Seed oils wreck your hormones. The clinic prescribes TRT. Sugar crashes destroy your mood. The psychiatrist prescribes an SSRI. Each problem creates a customer

I stopped fighting individual symptoms and started rejecting the whole system. Real food. Enough of it. No seed oils. Gut repair. Sleep

Within months I felt like a different species. And I was just eating the way humans ate for 10,000 years before the last 50 fucked everything up

The system is designed to make you a patient

Opt out
