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.

Winter Shelter Construction and Chilli Lunch


January 18th 2014 11am until you want to go home.

We are going to build a shelter and enjoy a chili lunch over a fire.

Depending on the weather that day, will dictate what type of shelter we will build.  The most likely scenario will be that we build a Quinsy. 

The location will be in a backyard in Waiporous, with a potential excursion to the surrounding forest. 
   An outhouse will be available for bathroom needs.

Things To Bring:
·      Warm Clothes: we will be outside all day
·      Cup/bowl/spoon
·      Food items:
o   Buns
o   Butter
o   Grated cheese
o   Hot chocolate
o   Anything you want to roast over a fire
