In this class we’ll cover the basics of wilderness survival to help you be able to survive anywhere on the continent.   The focus will be on primitive skills, but we’ll cover several skills involving modern equipment.

• Shelter building
• Making fire with a bow-drill which you will make in class
• Finding, transporting, purifying water
• Finding, cooking, preserving food.  This includes basic hunting and trapping skills

In addition to this we’ll do several exercises to help expand your awareness to levels you never knew existed.

You will need a knife for carving wood.  I suggest a 3-6″ full tang, high carbon steel fixed blade with a Scandi or Flat grind.   I recommend the Mora Companion HD as a great first knife.  I will have a small number of these for sale at the class for $25.  Please contact me ahead of time at mnnatureschool@gmail.com to check knife availability.
