65. Going hunting with the last hunter-gatherer tribe in Africa for 24 hours
In this episode Johnny catches up with Neel about his recent visit with the Hazda tribe in Tanzania. Neel got the special government permission necessary to go out there and learned a lot.
Neel's day started with joining some of the members of the tribe hunting for food. He was blown away at how fast the tribal members moved through the bush and how accurate they were with the bow and arrow.
Neel and Johnny also discuss:
- what an average day is like for the Hazda
- why the Hazda reject newer technologies and convenience in general
- Neel's observations of the tribe's happiness
You'll also hear about the inside joke Neel built with the tribe around his name, an extracurricular activity of the hunt that brought him back to his college days, and why some Hazda who enter the civilized world end up coming back.
Enjoy the episode!
