Introduction To Primitive Technology November 13, 2010

Join us as we explore hunter gatherer skills used by humans all around the world. Being aware and comfortable with fundamental human skills such as obtaining food and making fire provides a deep appreciation for true sustainability. Students will learn how to provide for themselves by living off of the land, while also learning more about the indigenous cultures that specialize in living in harmony with nature.

Students will learn essential living skills through the following hands-on activities:

make fire with hand-drill and bow-drill kits
process dogbane fiber and make string
practice with hunting tools, including throwing rabbitsticks, spearthrowers, bow & arrow
processing acorns
learn basic stone and wood-working techniques through pine nut bead-making, shaping and polishing stone
