Have you ever wondered what you would do if you got lost in the woods? Or do you simply want to be more at home in the vast outdoors? Join us as we dive into the art of wilderness survival, learning essential skills that will keep us safe and comfortable in wild places. We will build natural shelters, taste wild edible plants, and learn to interpret animal tracks and signs. We will even learn some of the tricks of fire building!
