The Hunt & Gather Project is an ongoing documentary of a
group of people involved in a project in experimental
archaeology- living and practicing skills of the stone age.
Leading the project is Lynx Vilden, an expert in the
technologies people practiced before the advent of
agriculture and metal. Each year people from around the
world participate in her yearlong Stone Age Living Project,
where they learn the critical skills and manufacture the gear
and clothing necessary for survival in a harsh subalpine
wilderness.The goal is to live through the project period
while learning to survive indefinitely with only stone-age
technologies— without a trace of the modern world.

• Biography
  Kiliii Yuyan is a National Geographic photographer, Explorer and speaker working in the polar regions and cold seas, among wildlife and the Indigenous communities at the edges of the inhabitable world. He has been stalked by a polar bear and dived with ancient Greenland sharks. Fifteen of his stories have run in National Geographic, three of them covers, and in 2023 the Society gave him the Eliza Scidmore Award for Outstanding Storytelling. The argument at the center of his work: the world's most beautiful places are beautiful because of the people who live in them.
