Advanced Survival
           There is no better way to connect with nature than to experience a full survival situation.  Imagine spending a day wandering the landscape, foraging for edible plants, cordage material, natural clay deposits and fresh animal tracks.  Advanced Survival teaches the student how to transition from the the first few weeks of a wilderness survival situation and introduces skills that are geared toward long-term primitive living.  In this course we will focus on numerous fire making techniques (hand-drill, Fire thong, Fire Saw, Fire Plow, Natural Cordage Bow Drill..etc),  Stone Tools, Primitive cooking, Advanced Traps, Tracking, Plant Identification, Basketry, Torches, Fire Extenders,  Bowl Burning, and numerous other skills that allow a person to live off the land comfortably and  indefinitely.  Come experience the empowering freedom gained from the understanding that nature will always provide for you, if you know how to survive.   June 20th.   $100

Bow-Making                                                                                                                                         

      In this class each student will carve, scrape and  sand a seasoned split log--    making it into a fully  functional hunting bow.    Come spend 3 days  making a bow that will take down any animal on this  continent.  Each day you will be instructed in the  stages of making your bow; receiving close guidance in the art of shaping and tillering a  hand-made bow.  Because every hand-made bow is  unique, the group atmosphere will allow you to  learn at an accelerated rate--as everyone gains  insights from each others bows.  This is a lot of work but is one of my  favorite courses and will become your most unique  hobby/obsession.  Each student will leave with their own bow.
