basic core skills in one day
our ancestors used what we now consider primitive skills on a daily basis in order to survive and as matter of routine everyday life. for thousands of years these skills remained basically the same and were passed on to generation after generation. the foundation skills, i.e., the skills most experts consider the core and truly “primitive skills are the ability to make fire, twist fiber and to shape flint and stone. once these core skills are mastered they can be combined to produce all others.
our primitive skills course is designed to provide each student with the training to master each of these core skills. we’ll start by learning the fundamentals of shaping flint, (flint knapping) to make our basic cutting tools. using our newly made stone tools we’ll collect natural plant material and then learn how to process and prepare the material to make cordage that we can use for our bow drill, hunting bows, shelters, containers etc. finally using a combination of the tools and materials we have made we’ll learn how to build fires using truly primitive methods and materials
