For thousands of years, our ancestors lived immersed in their environments. Come, explore the many skills and techniques used all over the world to survive. Through recreating the equipment and skills used, we hope to gain a better understanding of our natural environment, and be equipt to sustain in it. We are a group of people getting together to share, learn and practice ancient bushcraft techniques and technologies. Practicing the old skills such as fire by friction, shelter construction, edible and medicinal food harvesting and preparation, bark containers, basket making, packframes, tool construction, flint knapping, pottery, traditional tanning, as well as many more ancient outdoor living skills. Our purpose is to reconnect with nature through recreating our ancestors skills and crafts. All experience levels are welcome.

Pictograph and Nature Identification Hike

Date: April 21, 2012
Time: 10am to 3pm


Hi everyone!! 
We are going to hike along an Ancient Canyon, while exploring and identifying useful flora and fauna for nomadic survival. This Canyon is known for its ancient pictographs (Red ocher drawings painted by the native people who inhabited this area for thousands of years). Come walk where they walked and discover the plants and tools they used. It will be a phenomenal location for enjoying some ancient history.
This Canyon does have a creek flowing through it, that we will be walking along, and is most likely wet and muddy, so wear the appropriate footwear. Come prepared for snow and sun, with a lunch and enough water for the day.
