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.

License Free Fishing and Fishing Rod construction: July 13 6am to noon

Date: July 13
Time: 6am to noon

 These ponds are stocked with rainbow trout. There are many picnic tables, and fires are permitted, as are dogs. Wide, paved pathways surround the ponds. This may be a busy place this weekend, so an early start will be beneficial.
If you would like to try your luck at fishing with your own pole, bring a green flexible stick, about your own height. Also bring some line and a hook.
We will take a look at rope making, but it will not be a reliable fishing line, so we are not going to count on it. We can also make a few hooks, and give those a try.
With any luck, we will catch a fish with our primitive fishing rod. Lets hope we can make some strong effective line!!
Bring food, water, sunscreen, sun hat, sun glasses, and fishing gear. All regulations are applied for this license free fishing weekend. Please take a look at the regulations http://www.albertaregulations.ca/fishingregs/
