I’m Indigenous and I grew up in northern Ontario in a hunter and gatherer family of hunters and trappers. We did wake up at 4am to go travel, work, set things up, gather and maintain equipment … so that everything was set for the day. Then when the day came, you know what? … we sat around and rested as much as we could which was hours of just resting. Because evening would come and you had to prepare for the night. Then rinse and repeat.
Apex shit was all about conserving energy to survive. If nothing was happening, you rested as long and as much as possible because there will come a time when you will need to expend a terrible amount of energy in a short period of time to get work done, to carry out a hunt or to remedy a serious problem.
If you are expending energy all day, every day non stop … you’re doing it for someone else’s benefit and you will burn yourself out.
