Spruce Beer Making

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.

We are experimenting on the small scale, so we can expect at least a days worth. The Spruce beer recipe is an ancient one, so we're looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
