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.

Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk

Date: August 19, 2012
Time: 9:30 am
Lets collaborate our knowledge regarding the edible and medicinal qualities of the plants. The flora is budding, blossoming, fruiting, sending shoots and roots, and going to seed, simultaneously, right before our eyes. Lets go and enjoy and learn from it together. It is said that Mount Yamnuska is spectacular for wildflowers.
It is possible that the mosquitos could be busily buzzing away, so having a bug net in your pocket may save some swatting. If you have a guide book on the flora, it would be nice to have it along as a reference. Please bring some food and water for yourself, along with sun/rain protection and good footwear. See you on the trail!!
