Are you a hiker or outdoor enthusiast that would feel more prepared and confident if you knew how to make a shelter that would keep you alive in an emergency weather condition? Do you not have any outdoor experience but are curious about how natives have lived for thousands of years? Perhaps you’re a seasoned hunter or naturalist looking to expand on your previous knowledge? Or are you a teacher conducting native american studies and would like particular skills demonstrated for your class?

Whether you’re a museum curator or producer looking for advice on incorporating authentic primitive skills into your projects or a family looking for an adventurous weekend, I can provide exciting learning environments that reflect the endless benefits of learning these skills. My lessons and demonstrations are customized to you or your group’s interests and needs. I always adjust my teaching to the group, because everyone learns in their own way and has their own reasons for learning a particular skill.

Together we will shape an experience or adventure for you or your group. What follows are descriptions of the three categories of programs I run. Click on the one that is right for you. To find out more about the topics that can be woven into any of these programs, open the ACTIVITY GUIDE which will help you explore all of the specific skills and activities that are offered.

You may feel overwhelmed by the options and not know where to begin so it is important to remember that you can begin with just about any of the basic skills. Ask "what am I most curious about?" "What skills would I or my group like to walk away with?" If you still can't decide then you may want to join me for a day long INTRO TO THE BASICS, a full day introduction to survival skills.
