Ep. 11: Interview with Peter Bigfoot

Get Real or Die Trying with Amadon DellErba

Amadon DellErba interviews Peter Bigfoot; survivalist, naturalist, herbalist, and legendary mountain man who lives deep in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arizona. Peter is founder & director of Reevis Mountain School of Self-Reliance.

Amadon & Peter discuss the spiritual nature of embracing life’s challenges and their journeys of self-discovery. Peter shares stories and insights from his 40 years living away from society in the mountains of Arizona, including his near-death experience during his 1975 solo trek through the desert wilderness. They discuss metaphysical topics such as the mind being in control of the body, meditation, the body-mind vs. the spirit-mind, and the fact of our existence as eternal spiritual beings. They talk about getting real, taking action, practicing self-mastery, and having an "attitude of gratitude." Episode 11 is a beautiful conversation between two souls who have embraced challenges and allowed adversity to forge their unique characters.
