Deer Man: Seven Years of Living in the Forest

Product Information

Bottom line: weird vibes. Read like someone strong-armed him into writing a book, but didn’t tell him how to write a book. Really weird silence around his own life and circumstances that made it more uncomfortable and hard to believe than strictly necessary. Stel je voor: je leeft 7 jaar in een vochtig bos. Dag en nacht. Nu gaan wij ook kamperen in de winter, maar dan is het aan de kachel in de tent warmer dan nu binnenshuis en overal een warm schapenvel om op te gaan zitten. De Hertenman had geen tent of slaapzak, zelfs geen dekentjes, ik vermoed ook vaak geen droge schoenen. Af en toe liet hij slechts twee twijgjes branden om af en toe zijn handen te warmen. If you’re at the end of your tether, drowning in a swarm of unmet needs, please give the DEARMAN technique a try and see how it feels. Geoffroy Delorme never felt he fitted into the human world. He would often disappear into the woods, drawn to the rhythms of animal life and away from the rules of a society he did not understand. One night, an encounter with a deer changed his life: from then on, he knew he wanted to live among them.

Delorme covers his feet with mud to protect them from insect bites.

However sound their reasoning, it does nothing to endear them to the owners of neighbouring sporting estates. Such an estate’s value is partly based on the number of stags available to shoot there each year – a good rule of thumb being around one in every 16 stags on the hill. And those who pay for the pleasure of shooting a stag (or far more, for the pleasure of owning a private deer forest) don’t wish to spend too long fruitlessly roaming the glens without a sighting. But though some estates do make significant income from slaughter tourism, they are in the minority. “It’s a bit like owning a football club. A small few – the Chelseas, the Man Uniteds – are big money-spinners. Generally, though, they run at a loss.” For cooking, I use only a small aluminium frying pan and a pot for boiling water. I decide to follow an omnivorous but vegetarian-inclined diet. I cannot imagine living in a natural habitat and eating the wild animals that live there, even though nature is obviously overflowing with predators. I buy tins of food and hide them at the foot of a tree, under a pile of branches and dead leaves. Unfortunately, a few days later, wild boar discover my hoard. All the tins are disembowelled by their razor-sharp trotters.In 2004, Mike was working for what was then called the Deer Commission when he and his colleagues were called in to conduct an emergency cull at Glenfeshie, an estate owned by a Danish billionaire in the Cairngorms National Park, where deer numbers had been allowed to grow to remarkable levels: an estimated 95 per sq km. Sharpshooters were flown in by helicopter to the estate’s remotest corners, and dozens of contract stalkers were bussed in for an intensive effort. Mike was in the larder, processing the bodies.

Tetchy relationships with managers and colleagues is one of the main reasons people leave their current work according to IT recruitment agency Applause IT. Por lo demás, una lectura muy amena, incluso cuando el autor se pone algo más técnico, con capítulos breves que incluyen fotografías preciosas que realizó en esos años.Malheureusement, cela ne se produira pas. D’abord, il n’y aura que ceux qui aiment la nature qui l’écouteront. Ensuite, cet activisme, ne sera-t-il pas plutôt fait de batailles, d’agression ? Il y aura les conflits avec ceux qui ne respectent pas la nature, les lobbys etc. Et… même les activistes auront des idées différentes, vont se chamailler. Ainsi, l’activisme deviendra une source de conflits, conflits, conflits, d’angoisses, de tristesse, et une perte d’énergie incroyable.
