“Are you stressed out? Do you want to foster healthier relationships? This well-written engaging book will help you reconnect to your primal self, leading to a happier, healthier you.”

“Through stories that invoke passion and practical pathways toward connection, Primal asks us to explore what it means to be human...this book is not just for people wanting to walk away from modern comforts, but to embrace the wild instincts in all of us.”

– Doniga Markegard, author of Dawn Again: Tracking the Wisdom of the Wild

“Primal is a fascinating look at why getting a heavy dose of nature is more critical than it ever has been in human history. Nate Summers asks the deeper question of why paleo diets, crossfit, and survival shows are so popular - and how that relates to the animal that lives within all of us.”

– Dan Corcoran, Survival Skills Instructor/ Program Director - Wilderness Awareness School, author of Ignite

"What is it about making fire that is so magical? What about the mystery of long-lost primitive survival skills, and the simple curiosity about what our pre-agricultural ancestors ate? In this book, you meet people who asked the same questions, then dedicated their lives to seeking the answers. Like you, they were searching for something lost long ago — a window to who we really are and a way to make sense of the world we have inherited."

– Tamarack Song, founder of the Teaching Drum Outdoor School, and author of Becoming Nature
