Lynx Vilden is a British primitive survival expert known for her wilderness survival skills.[1]

Vilden was born in London, England.[2] She moved to the United States at the age of 21. In the US, she changed her name to Lynx Vilden.[3][4]

Off-grid living

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]
