Fall Term in Wilderness Survival and Primitive Skills
The Fall season is when we build your wilderness survival skills while learning to harvest from the land around us in a way that truly feeds the village.
Wilderness Survival
We teach wilderness survival skills to be practical in the "what if" situation while also using this knowledge as a means of rediscovering your personal connection with nature. You develop a relationship with shelter, water, fire and food directly tied to the wild.
Bushcraft and Primitive Skills
The study of bushcraft refines what we learn in our wilderness survival training. This includes the arts of making a bow, flintknapping an obsidian blade and tanning hides into leather and buckskin.
Fall term also features an overnight trip to Rabbitstick Rendezvous in early September. This one week journey takes us to one of the oldest and most renowned primitive skills gatherings in the world. There you can learn from key leaders in the field while building a foundation of traditional skills that will carry you through your year.
Harvest
The bounty of Fall is crucial to the remainder of our seasonal rounds. We are constantly stocking the pantry with dried, fermented and canned foods. We harvest acorns and other staples while making lots of bacon. We fish and smoke what we catch. All this becomes key food for our program overnights throughout the year.
