    I had, some of his other photographic projects, the 'Honey Hunters' for instance are amazing. I'm not sure what the story with this off the grid set is though, the young folks dressed as hunter gatherers look like they do it for a hobby. However the bloke with the beard holding the eggs looks like he could cut down a sizeable tree with one swing of an axe.

    Well worth a look through.

    The photos are amazing. I agree with sandbender, have just found the blond lady's webpage. Nice idea to live as hunter gatherers, as the idea that once we shackled the first animal to plough the first field humans lost their freedom makes the livestyle seem tempting.
