ABOUT

​

Women’s Wilderness Survival 201 is a course that caters towards long-term survival and bushcraft as we leave our preparedness from kit-based items to off the landscape. This class is directed towards women of all ages to encourage more female participation in the fields of bushcraft and primitive skills. Students from all skill levels are welcome and no experience is required. Whether you are a proclaimed survivalist, a weekend bushcrafter, a homesteader, an ultralight hiker, or just a general everyday woodswoman this class is designed to promote a sense of community through our shared love of nature.

Throughout the weekend we will learn to take care of our immediate needs in woodland living as we discuss self-aid, fire with friction, and primitive shelter building. Other topics will include various woodland craft, knots, navigation, and food procurement from primitive traps for woodland game and edible plants. This class is for participants who desire to both learn and grow, as well as how to develop a sense of resilience through self-reliance in both community and as individuals in the wild.
