UncivilizedVitality

The Winter Campaign Season is upon us! Dr. Morey's favorite time of year to get out in the Great Michigan Wilderness and do some Uncivilized restoration. Sleeping warm has always been a concern for humans in this type of climate. Overly civilized people have lost a lot of the knowledge of how to stay (and sleep) safe and warm when out-of-doors. This video covers some of the very basics of warm sleeping so that you can be prepared for the upcoming Winter events!

The Turtles UV Chapter took part in a "Gunfighting" course of firearms training this past weekend. The safe and responsible use of a personal firearm falls under our "Sling & Spear" category of pre-civilized tool usage. Join us for these events (It is not ALL camping!) by contacting info@uncivilizedvitality.com Special thanks to Instructor J. Grant: public and private CPL training is available by contacting Premiere Security Solutions. #uncivilizedtechnology #slingandspear #premieresecuritysolutions

A brief reading from the preface of Abraham Maslow's 1964 book "Toward a Psychology of Being" from which Dr. Moray drew a lot of inspiration for the Uncivilized Vitality method. Listen to Dr. Maslow's thoughts, as you enjoy the walk in the Michigan forest, and reflect on how similar the idea of "self-actualization" sounds to being "Uncivilized". Enjoy! #maslows_hierarchy_needs #uncivilizedphilospohy #beingabetterhuman

Uncivilized Vitality visits Drummond Island in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. Lots of fresh air and lakes, and a ton of trails necessitating the use of Jeeps to reach the choice remote locations. We met the Mighty Carole and her family on a "Bucket List" journey to see the Northern Lights, and we ate... a lot! Enjoy the footage. #uncivilizedcampaigns #uncivilizedvitality #offroadunlimited #jeeping #Drummondisland

The Physician Assistant Class of 2025 brought Dr. Morey a gift for being a great professor! Here is a small "Thank you" video for being such a fun group!

A quick explanation of the "Ability" Beads that the UV uses to track progress in becoming an Uncivilized Guide (Someone capable, adaptable, and durable who knows how to venture into Nature in a safe and ecologically responsible way). If you have any questions, or interest in earning Guide status, contact us at info@uncivilizedvitality.com #uncivilizedtechnology #abilitybeads #uncivilizedguide

Relax and watch the journey from the Fossil Ledge, on Drummond Island, back to the "Four Corners". The ride is a long one but the scenery is top-notch! Enjoy!

Dr. Morey does a quick run down of the gear you will need for the next UV Emergency Camp! 2024 Season will see the addition of a TWO-DAY Emergency Camp. #uncivilizedtechnology #survival #bushcraft

A great weekend event! The "How To Be Human 2023" Graduation event took place in the Manistee national Forest this year. All the participants had fun and learned more about how to become less civilized! Parts Two and Three coming soon! #uncivilizedvitality #ethos #how2behuman #tinsmanApothocary #forestwomen

Also known as a "Sliding slipknot on a bight", the Siberian Hitch is a useful hitch for those frozen adventures in Northern Michigan! A simple hitch to tie around a tree or post as a ridge line or whatever. Despite what the small camerawoman says at the beginning of the video, Dr. Morey's mom is not a "Siberian hitch"! PS: The camerawoman (Mark's daughter) insisted on being code-named "Athena, Goddess of War" for the credits in this video, so... there it is. #uncivilizedrope #UVfastrope #paracordplanet

Clothing was the first "Tool" humans probably used in the distant past. Dr. Morey is never caught without at least one or two of these versatile cloth tools. This video is an overview of the Moreygami (an Uncivilized Technology Tool) covering sizes, shapes, and materials that are recommended. Look for other Moreygami videos about various uses coming soon! #uncivilizedtechnology #moreygami

You could use a full rain suit, but this video shows a couple of quicker, more versatile methods of staying dry on your outdoor adventures. The options run from cheap to middle of the road. A more upscale and spendy option can be found here: https://youtu.be/fNSULoaRa1M?si=hbyLgHc0MtKTy1hE #helikontex #Raingear #Uncivilizedtechnology

A closer look at the structure of the "Rotator Cuff" in the shoulder region. #uncivilizedanatomy

Dr. Morey goes over the muscles, nerves and structures of the "Shoulder" region. #uncivilizedanatomy

Uncivilized Vitality Fieldcraft teaches the three lines of gear prep for outings and the "Pockets & Pouch" is the first line. Here is a review of Dr. Morey's favorites. The one he forgot to include was the Spiritus Systems Fanny S.A.C.K. (separate video coming soon!) @HillPeopleGear @HelikonTex @SOEtacticalgear @HyperliteMountainGear @SpiritusSystems #uncivilizedtechnology #fannypack #manpurse

A weekend Outfitting with the family from YouTube channel "These Tigers Go Wild" at the Manistee River in Northern Michigan, and they help with a quick canteen review. The Complete canteen cook set from Self-reliance Outfitters. A new piece of kit and a lot of fun to review with the Tigers! Head over to their channel and give them a follow to see the adventures of this family of Modern Uncivilized Nomads! @thesetigersgowild @SelfRelianceOutfit #thesetigersgowild #bushcraft #canteen #uncivilizedtechnology #gearreview

Yet another idea for a poncho shelter... not the best idea but fun nonetheless! The USGI poncho is a great piece of gear! Rain gear is a must for outdoor adventures and the versatile poncho can be used for many additional purposes. #uncivilizedtechnology #survival #USGIponcho #improvisedshelter

The USGI poncho is a great piece of gear! Rain gear is a must for outdoor adventures and the versatile poncho can be used for many additional purposes. Dr. Morey loves setting up the USGI poncho as a shelter! #uncivilizedtechnology #survival #USGIponcho #improvisedshelter

Quick new video showing the NEW professional sheathing option for the Uncivilized ADC knife! #yellowhawkcustomkydex #thebeardedsmith #uncivilizedtechnology #cutanddig @yellowhawkcustomkydex @thebeardedsmith www.thebeardedsmith.com A new run of pre-orders for the ADC knife open up October 1st!

Dr. Morey reviews some for the options available for portable cooking and purifying water, especially in areas where open fires are not permissible: Stoves! #uncivilizedtechnology #bushcraft #campstove @JetboilStoves @VargoOutdoors

By Request! Here is a video review of the gear needed for this year's How To Be Human event in late September. The required gear is demonstrated as well as several options for packing and transporting said gear. Hope this helps (it was early this morning so some mistakes are hopefully forgiven) and send further questions to info@uncivilizedvitality.com #uncivilizedtechnology #ethos #howtobehuman #adventurecamping #howtopack #outdoorskills

Uncivilized Anatomy continuing on with the subject of the Upper Extremity. This rather brief video is about the vasculature (blood supply) of the proximal UE and especially the axillary region. uncivilizedanatomy

More axillary region fun! This time it is over the infamous brachial plexus; a series of nerves that supply sensory and motor innervation throughout the entire UE. Students: Be sure to watch this as often as needed in order to be able to draw it for exams! #uncivilizedanatomy

Hoe to use a closed loop pile hitch (and bonus girth hitch) The use of rope, cordage, and knots is vital for any human being headed out into the outdoors. Dr. Morey covers another one of the basic knots and its great versatility. #uncivilizedtechnology #ropecraft #knots #bushcraft #survival @ParacordPlanet @BoredParacord #UVFastrope

Uncivilized anatomy video of the Axillary (Armpit) region of your body. The UV Anatomy playlist videos are meant to help the layperson learn about their basic anatomy as well as assist Dr. Morey's university students review for their exams! #uncivilizedanatomy
