$650.00

The Primitive Wilderness Living Skills course is the most intense and advanced course in the Primitive Living curriculum. Students are expected to have completed the Basic Wilderness Skills and Intermediate Wilderness Skills courses to enroll, as skills covered are depended on past knowledge and teachings.

This class will go in-depth on past skills before moving onto current topics and concepts. Students are expected to complete a wide range of previously explored skills, under time constraints, in order to progress to the next stages of the course.

What will be covered? – Students will be shown hands-on the process of Friction Fire through the use of the Bow-Drill Method. Creating an ember and blowing it to flame. This method of fire-lighting will be your only source of ignition for the duration of the course. Proper technique, materials and mindset will be demonstrated until success. Progressing into shelter construction, this will be completed as a group(s) with a long-term Wilderness Living/Survival Situation in mind. Students will live out of their shelter(s) for the duration of the course. This shelter-build will house the entire group and incorporate an open fire inside, while shedding any outside elements. The type of shelter will vary depending on terrain, season and weather conditions – With completing the creation of fire and shelter, your next step is crucial, Dehydration places a downward spiral on our critical thinking skills.

Students will construct a base-camp water filter and primitive vessels with the intent to purify and consume natural water. With shelter, warmth and water squared away you can start to think about getting something to eat.

Wild edibles will be harvested with a large focus on bark foods, wild teas as immune boosters and adding overall sustenance to your meals (Fibre, starches, vitamins, minerals and sugars).

Camp Cooking will cover a variety of different ways to use stone applications and planks with foraged natural materials. Transitioning from skills to mindset, the principle philosophy of wilderness living will be analyzed and discussed throughout the course with long-term sustainability in mind. Bushcraft basics will also be covered in regards to: carving, cooking, wild edibles, natural cordage, edged tool safety and maintenance.

Primitive hunting tools will also be crafted for demonstration. This is the final step to Becoming Tribe with Primitive Living.

Upon completion students will not only feel completely confident in the new skills they have obtained and honed, but should possess a new outlook towards nature and how they view the modern world.
