Four years ago at forest school, Krysta met a woman she describes as a "magical forest nymph”. Someone who hunts, tans hides in the old ways, and can build almost anything from birch bark. This week, Lena comes to share her wisdom on the show.
It's a wandering, intimate conversation between two friends who found each other on the land: how ancestral skills get passed down and nearly lost, why birch is "the first tree" and the reason Lena believes she wouldn't be here without it, and how returning to hunting with her father repaired their relationship in ways nothing else could.
They talk soil and glaciers, woodland caribou and inland rainforest, teaching kids to build fairy houses, and the quiet grief of watching common knowledge slip away, plus a fair amount of Sasquatch.
Underneath the skills is the real thread: reconnection. To land, to lineage, to the parts of ourselves the modern world trained us out of.
