About this blog
This blog is going to be part documentation, and part research journal to my experiences and interest in "primitive" survival or earth skills.

This has always been an interest of mine, and lately it has matured to something that really affects my life. I'd like this journal to connect with others who may share this interest and use it to get feedback on my processes, and perhaps to share what I've learned with others.

What's up with the name?
Agarita is the name of a wildflower much like a holly. It is also the name of a ranch in Hockley, Texas where I spent my weekends growing up. It is here still that I explore with different earth skills and camp.

The name references not only this place with its cow trails, but also my experiences in it, which will hopefully serve as a launching-off point for further adventures.
