In case of the big one, whether itB次元官网网址檚 a tsunami or an earthquake, a new web-series from Ragnarock Studios arms itB次元官网网址檚 viewers with primitive knowledge in case of a disaster.

The first episode of the Sacred Knowledge web-series features Jesse Roper and Pete MacDonald in the wild, learning how to create fire using only a bow-drill with the guidance of Taylor Mar.

Mar is a bundle of knowledge when it comes to primitive skills, spending his life learning from people, books or YouTube covering topic such as hunting, foraging for food, pit cooking and other basic life skills.

B次元官网网址淔or us living on an Island, if those ferries shut down or if thereB次元官网网址檚 some type of natural disaster, it doesnB次元官网网址檛 take long for shelves to empty,B次元官网网址 says Mar. B次元官网网址淓specially if people panic, those shelves will empty even quicker.B次元官网网址

The web-series has only launched one episode but the hope is that with enough eyes on the content, Ragnarock can get the funding to create and film more episodes. According to Shannon Carman, the companyB次元官网网址檚 communication and marketing lead, Ragnarock Studios started five years ago out of the idea of creating content locally that would also employ local people.

The show features Steve Ling, drummer for The Roper Show and Red Seal chef, foraging for ingredients, cooking them and then having a jam session party after the feast.

Mar says the videos are a way for people to begin to connect with nature and understand the world around them in a better way.

B次元官网网址淥ne of the reasons nature doesnB次元官网网址檛 get the respect it deserves is people donB次元官网网址檛 understand it, they look outside and itB次元官网网址檚 a wall of green, but if you start to know these plants by name and their values and how they interact with other plants around them and what they bring to the ecosystem, youB次元官网网址檙e not just going to pull them up,B次元官网网址 says Mar.

An added benefit, says Mar, is the nutritious value of food found in the wild.

According to Carman the timeline of when more episodes will be released is largely dependent on funding but the team has a plethora of ideas story-boarded and ready to go. Mar says something heB次元官网网址檇 really like to see take shape is an episode focusing on basket making.

B次元官网网址淏ringing someone one with a skill that I havenB次元官网网址檛 really had the opportunity to explore [would be exciting],B次元官网网址 he says. B次元官网网址淪o having the opportunity to learn something new.B次元官网网址

Another component to the videos are the 360-degree, immersive tutorials that share valuable skill sets.
