Off-grid living
[edit]Since 1991, Vilden has both practiced and taught wild-living skills.[4][5] Since around 2000, she has run a series of intensive rewilding workshops that she calls "Stone Age projects" in various locations in the US and Europe.[3] In them, participants learn how to make shoes, hunting tools, shelters and how to start fires.[3][6]
The National Geographic film Living Wild documents one of her month-long workshops on stone-age skills.[7] In 2016, she was included in the Channel 5 television series New Lives in the Wild.[8] In 2020, she was included in the Channel 4 series Surviving The Stone Age – Adventure To The Wild.[9]
