<>Mick Dodge is a 62-year-old American who has spent the last 25 years of his life away from civilization in a rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington. Dodge, who recently became the protagonist of a show on National Geographic, previously worked as a mechanic in the U.S. Army, but gave up the settled city life to get closer to nature. As he has always been passionate about movement, Dodge invented a new form of gymnastics, for which he uses improvised elements found in the heart of the forest: Earth Gym.
In an interview with Mother Nature Network, Dodge says that one of the main reasons he took the path of the woods was some foot ailments. “They hurt so much that I could barely walk, and I have always used walking and running to cope with stress and the modern world I lived in. And since the Hoh Forest is my home, I decided to go back home, to heal myself,” says the American, who has been living in the forest for 25 years, but without totally isolating himself from people.
“In the period that followed, both my legs and I escaped from the isolation of the modern world and landed on earth. The results were not long in coming. Not only did my legs start to heal, but my back pain and neck pain or heart pain gradually stopped, and in a short time I got back in shape, getting out of the sedentary, stressed, sedated and secure life I had in the modern world. I began to dance like fire, to run like the wind, I became strong as stone and fluid as water, by the simple fact of walking barefoot and allowing the Earth to teach me, ” says Dodge, the protagonist of National Geographic’s The Legend of Mike Dodge.
For 25 years since he decided to leave the city for the forest, the American has given up most of the time on shoes, except for the cold season, when he wears improvised bison leather boots, and has relearned the art of survival, adapting to the rhythms of nature. It is omnivorous and, due to hunger, says it has discovered countless other sources of food than the usual ones. As for civilization, he has not completely broken away from it, so he still arrives in the communities in the area either to buy chocolate cakes or to socialize, alternating life in the wild with short periods among people.
<>Among his main interests is sports, so since he dedicated himself to life in the forest, he has invented what he calls Earth Gym, a form of movement in which he uses improvised equipment especially with the help of elements found in nature. Using nets, braided harnesses, ropes and boulders, Dodge is the author of a new fitness concept, meant to restore the connection with nature. The American also trains those who visit him, in search of more adventurous experiences than a visit to the gym. One of Dodge’s special techniques is to run barefoot, upstream, in the bed of the Sol Duc River.
When he encounters health problems, the man says that he uses the elements of the forest, which he has learned to use to heal himself. “A key element of healing is water. After all, that’s what we all are, water containers. (…) So I often go to the forest, drink water and immerse my body in ice-cold water. My grandfather called this the kiss of the glacier. I’ve discovered all kinds of plants and mushrooms with healing properties before, and I’m in touch with other communities that have mastered the art of healing,” says Dodge, who you can learn more about on National Geographic.
