You may find some ideas amongst them for area’s you want answers to, simply type your question’s in the box above and I’ll send you the answers to not only your questions but to all the answers asked for the next few weeks or months…
Wide angle vision & wandering: How to see more animals…
There is a way to drop into a more aware stae at will, a shortcut into an intense aware alert state. (For those of you who know anything about the states of conciousness, a quick way forces your brain into an alpha stat with your eyes open & while active…) We gat into these techniques more deeply in Awareness classes, but you will get a quick introduction so you can start playing with this new way of seeing the world…
It will give you the ability to see more animals, to notice more of the natural world as you move about the landscape, and make everything seem more alive more vibrant and diverse…
You will also learn a new way to move your body, to reduce your impac on the land, and make your presence less visable to the animals that live in the forests and meadows you move through, you will begin on the path to invisibility, the foundational skills that I expand on in the awareness classes…
Cordage: How to make strong durable Cordage from natural materials…
Cordage is one of the most useful skills you will learn, it is deceptively easy to make strong durable cordage from natural materials, and gives you access to a whole realm of crafts to get involved in. It is an activity than naturally clams the mind, and I have found it keeps children transfixed once they learn how simple it is to make a realy useful thing from seemingly nothing…
Cordage is useful in building your shelters, essential in creating your first primitivve fire maiking kits, and one of those skills your hands can be busy doing, while you are chatitng wandering, and cord is always useful around camp…
Journaling: The Secret to becoming your own mentor and elder…
Native cultures produces some of the most aware and profoundly skilled people on this planet, there awareness skills were perfected throught he art of questioning by their elders and mentors…
Our society lacks these elders and mentors, which means we do not reach the full potential of our level of skills and perceptions. But journalling this simple routine gives you a way to become your own elder, your own mentor, and to push yourself to new levels of skill, knowledge and awareness, You’ll learn the routines needed, and get to practice during your time learning, enough time for it to become a new life shifting habbit prehaps…
Throwing stick: The simplest hunting technique, that could feed you for a lifetime…
There are some culture who use this one method for hunting, and have never even developed trapping, bow hunting or use of spears. Simple in its application but potentially the only tool you would ever need to feed yourself for a lifetime in a survival living environment…
We will look at the fundimentals of this simple tool and practice a little with the two basic techniques…
Debris Rich Area: The perfect location for the warmest shelter you’ll ever learn to make…
Location is the key to building not only a warm dry and semiperminant shelter, but building it quickly with minimal effort, and ensuring it will never flood, be damaged by storms or get infestated with insects…
You’ll start your shelter building lessons by wandering the landscape with all the knowledge you need to search out the perfect shelter location, before you ever think about building…
Tapping rocks: The secret to knowing which rocks will turn into sharp cutting tools…
This 10 minute lecture will shorten the time it takes you to master the skill of rock knapping, turning stone into sharp servicabale cutting tools, this simple knowledge will allow you to know which rocks will make good cutting tools, before ever breaking them apart, taking away much of the trial and error needed to learn this skill…
Caretaker Attitude: How to take from the land and improve it at the same time…
I one thought an enlightened culture would leave no trace of their existance on the land, after learning about the caretaker attitude I had to think again. Once you grasp this concept and start to practice it during the class, you may begin to see why I now believe and enlightened culture would leave a trace of their presece to those with the eyes to see it. They would have left an ecosystem in a better state than it would have been had they not been there…
It might even be our ultimate purpose here on the earth. We have the ability and possibly the duty to bring ecosystems back into a helathy alignment quicker than if they had been left to do it on their own…
We have the ability to take from the land in such a way that we imporve it, we enhance it, we can create more diversity, more health, a forest that id more vibrant and alive…
The Caretaker Walk: A profound shift in the way you percieve your place in nature…
With your new insights you’ll take a walk, you’ll harvest some of the materials we need for the class, and be able to do it in such a way as to enhance the forest, for the generations to come…
Shelter Location: Where you must not build your shelter…
We will get more deeply into the location for your shelter, the reasons why, what to avoid and what to look for…
Your First Shelter: The secret to keeping warm and dry at night without the need of fire…
Now it will be time for you to learn the secrets to building a shelter, a shelter that does not require you to have fire to keep it warm, a shelter that is built in such a way as to trap and use your own body heat to warm it, in a way that will keep you warm even in sub zero temperatures…
A shelter that in the right situation can be built in a few hours, and maybe quicker in the summer months. A shelter that can be used for months on end with a little effort to maintain, and a shlter that blends in so well with the forest that it is virtually invisible to the untrained eye…
Shelter Building Workshop: Build your own shelter, ready to use that night (if you choose)
You’ll get together as a group to build a shelter, this will make sure you get it done in about a quarter of the time it would take you to do it alone, I need the time we save to teach you the other essential skills I need to convey to you…
You will understand the process of building this great shelter, enough that you will easily be able to practice a couple more away from the class, each member of your group will get the chance to sleep at least one night in the shelter (even if it is only a couple of hours), and only if you want to, take a sleeping bag and blankets with you, and move back to your tent in the night if you need to, I’m only interested that you get a feel for building and sleeping in a debris hut shelter…
Shelter Principle: How to create a shelter in any environment with any materials…
Next we will get into the principles of shelter, and look at how these same principles could be used in other environemnts to create as close to a perfect shelter any time and anyplace in the world. You’ll see how you satisfied them all in your debris hut, and understand how you can be warm and dry where ever you decide to build…
Natural Law Lecture: How to extract the underlying principles from any skill you learn…
Now comes one of the most powerful principles I can teach you, the concept of natural law, with understanding of this principle you’ll be able to look at any skill and figure out the core things that make it work, and with those underlying principle be able to create the same outcome in other ecosystems and you’ll fully understand why some cultures do the things they do, when viewed in the context they were created all behavior and beliefs make more sense…
Contaminated water: How to avoid sources of water that will make you sick…
We’ll look at the dangers from drinking water contaminated with toxins or pathogens, and the importance of finding a pure source of water or being able to purify…
Water sources: Where to find pure clean water before you have a way to purify it…
Once you have shelter worked out, your next priority will be water, and not only that but without fire and a way to purify water from pathogens, you need to know how to find an absolutely pure source to keep you alive until you can purify a closer watersoursce by boiling it…
This first water source is very simple to find once you know how, this first source may be some way from your shelter, but you must drink only abolutely pure water, either from an absolutely pure source, or because you have destroyed the pathodens that might make you sick…
The Grandmother walk: Your next profound shift in the way to relate to the earth…
This one simple exerscie is one I stumbled upon by acident, I heard a native concept and decided to actually apply it in a physical way and the result was astonishing, with out any effort I got a group of 20 people moving across the landscape in the silent and graceful way it took me hours in previous classes…
You will gain another shortcut to the native secret to invisibility and the ability to go unoticed as you move across the landscape…
Spoon Burning: The principles of making bowls and utensils for survival living…
The first night I will get you going on a very useful skill, burning bowls will give you a way to purify water, cook food, and is one of those skills you can be working on while we sit around the camp fire and chat, you should end up with a beautiful native artifact to show the people you go back to, it may even inspire a few to want o make there own, and you never know it might come in useful in the kitchen…
Stone Tools: Your first quick method to make simple multi-use cutting tools…
Stone tools were the key to possibly our entire civilisation, they allowed us to make the equipment needed to make fire, before that if our ancestors found fire, they needed to keep it alive to use it…
A stone cutting edge is easy to make, you will already know which stones to try when making your first blades, simply smashing enough rocks together will eventually give you a useful cutting blade, so there is little skill needed to make one, but…
Skill will allow you to make a blade every time you pick up a rock with the intention of making a blade, knowing the simple rules about how energy propogates through rock will make sure you know exactly where to hit the rock to get the sort of blade or edge you want…
A simple chip off the right rock will give you all you need to make a bow drill set, and the ability to make fire, one of the most important skills you will ever master, but you need a blade to do it, so thats why we will get into stone tools before fire…
Advanced Cordage: Quick cordage for your fire making kit…
A good blade is not all you will need to make a working bow drill set, you’ll also need cord, we will have already covered how to make cord, but there may be times you need to have fire now rather than later, so you need to have the knowledge to make a quick emergency cord, it may not last as long as your manufactured cord, but it will get you up and going fast…
It is harder to get this method to work until you have some level of skill with the primitive fire amking kit you will be making, but you need the principles now, so when your ready you can go out and practice with this simple method…
Once you have this knowledge you have all you need to begin making a primitive fire making set, well almost, there is one last thing before we get to that…
Single Match Fire: How to make a pile of sticks that will light first time every time…
The tiny coal you will get from your primitive fire making kit, will need to be nurtured before it turns into the flame you need to start your fire, so like a new born child it will need far more care than you can ever imagine possible, it needs a place to first of all grow into the first time flame, and then from that time falme into a fire the size and intensity you need for warmth, cooking, tool making, whatever you need your fire for…
The tipi fire doesn’t just look good, it is built in a very specific way, because it has a very specific job to do, the job of turinig the tinyest of embers smaller than the nail on your little finger into the raging fire that will warm and bring light to your evenings…
A fire that will burn in damp ground, and even if its lower half is submerged in water will continue to burn long enough to be moved to a better place. Practically smokeless when built right it will become the way you create fire almost instantly even with a single match or ember…
Bow Drill: How to make your first primitive fire making kit…
Fire is magical you will remember the first time you made fire by primitive methods for the rest of your life, it is one of those moments that is just filled with total joy and exhilleration, you will go through frustration to get there, but it is worth the effort…
We will run through all the principles of making a perfect bow drill set, it is one of those skills that will only work the first time when everything is perfect, but with a little experience you will be able to put a bow drill set together with less and less perfect materials, until you can make one from almost any woods avalible…
Bow Drill Set: Making your own primitive fire making set…
When I first learned to make a bow drill, it took days for everyone to get it, and it was the most frustration skills learned when I was training, because everything has to be so perfect for it to work…
But I have taken nearly all the frustration away by developing a system to teach this ancient and powerfull skill in a couple of hours, when I first taught this method I had half the class with fire in under 4 hours, quite a feat, but for you the task will be even easier, I have refined it since then…
You will walk home with your own working bow drill set, a way of making primitive fire, it will not be a set made from the woods, it will be crafted from carefully prepard materials because frustration is not part of my classes, I need you to fully understand the principle and know what a perfect bow drill set looks like, before you ever try to create one from the forest…
Many of the students you will be working with, will make a primitive set from the forest before the 3 days are up, and you maybe one of them, so if you have heard that making a primitive bow drill set is hard, it doesn’t have to be…
Burning bowls: The first step to being able to purify your own water…
Now you have fire and know the principles of how to make a container it is time to look at making a bowl of your own, another evening project while we chat around the camp fire, but this skill will allow you to do a very important thing, it will open up a whole new set of options about where you can collect water from, it no longer needs to be a guaranteed pure source…
Being able to boil water means that you can kill any pathogens bacteria and viruses that are in the water, this could save you walking miles to get the water you need, and allow you to wander more freely across the landscape, it also opens up more locations for your shelter and camp…
Having a bowl will give you a way to boil some foods and carrying water from your place of collection, clay pottery is your ultimate natural solution for all of these needs, but your burned bowl will allow you some freedom while you dry your clay, re constitude with a anticracking agent, and eventually fire for use as a boiling and carrying pot…
Rock Boiling Water: How to open up new water sources for you to drink…
Because you will not have a clay pot for a while, you need a way to biol water in a wooden bowl you have carved or burned out, or in another sort of conatiner that we will discuss at this point…
You cannot put your wooden bowl on the fire to heat the water so you must get the heat into the water someother way, and rock boiling is the solution, simple by heating rocks on the fire and then using tongs to move them intot he water will get your water to a rolling boil, purifying and cooking anything in it…
You may decide to keep rock boiling even when you have a pottery vessel that could go directly onto the fire, because it gives you so much control of how much heat and when…
The secret is what rocks to use, use the wrong ones and they may explode projecting tiny chards of razor sharp rock in all directions, this is where your tapping of the rock will keep you safe, as it will also tell you what rocks can be used for rock boiling…
Digging Stick: Your short cut to harvesting edible and medicinal roots…
A simple tool that will make your harvesting of plants a whole lot easier, especially those tastiest of roots that bury them selves deep in the earth…
Edible Plants (Identification Guides): My recommendations and how to use them…
There are so many edible plants out there, that we could never cover them all in these 3 days we have together, and not only that there is little cahnce of ever having them all in the same place at the same time, although I have a project in mind to make this a reality…There are many guides out there and they will be your source of the best information when you start to identify the edible plants in your immediate area of the world…
I will also bring your awareness to the vital importance of correct identification, there are some plants out there that look similar to edible types, and can kill you if you eat or ingest them, so care is needed, I will highlight what I believe are the most dangerous to you, and offer some sources of good inforamtion…
I will also describe to you the most common edible plants you are likely to find in any part of the UK, you already know many of them, like stinging nettle, some thistles, dandelion, acorns, beech nuts, and many more, there are 4 that you should be able to find all year round…
Edible Plants Walk: We go out and identify some common edible, to get you started…
Well go out and find some edibles, maybe prepare some to eat, and get you a direct experience of harvesting and eating from the land, its an adictive activity and opens up a whole new world to you, even in the middle of london one day I counted 11 edible plants near a bench next to a busy main road, I would never eat any plant that close to the exhasut fumes of cars and lorrys, but it showed me how many edible plants there actaully are…
To our ancestors they were litterally surrounded by food, they never needed to look far that have a meal for that day, many hunter gather tribes saw little use in farming, because they need only walk at most a few hundred meters to find all the food they needed in the forest…
Edible Plants (Gathering): How to harvest in a sustainable way…
There are some simple rules to harvesting, to protect you from toxins and to take in such a way that there will be a harvest of those plants next season ready to be harvested again, many of these principle you will have already come to know through your actions as caretakers and is really just common sense…
Edible Plants (Cooking): Turning your collected plants into a wilderness feast…
We will stat with the most simple ways to cook and prepare your edible plants and build up to the more complicated and involved methods, giving you access to many methods to use as your situation allows…
Hunting & Eating of Meat:
Important Note: Many people do not wish to hunt or eat meat, and I respect that, but to complete your education in these skills and knowledge you need to at least have access to the information… (No animals will be harmed during the class & all meals will be suitable for vegitarian & a meat option will always be available)
These skills may not be covered in these 3 days, but if we get a head of schedule we will get into them…
Hunting (Ethics): A native perspective on the ethics and morals of hunting…
The are many places in the world where you could live quite comfortabley without the need form meat, but there are also many areas, that the eating of meat in a wilderness survival situation would be the only way you would make it through the colder months. The choice is always yours to make, and even if you have decided to be vegetarian for any of the ethical, moral or health reasons there are, I would strobgly recommend you still learn the the following skills, so you always have a choice, and can teach those who do choose to eat meat, the skills and knowledge…
Those faced with the decision to break their ethical and moral decision to eat meat or die of starvation have generally chosen to live, survival is our most compelling desire be it our own survival or of those we love…
Hunting (Throwing Stick): Techniques for using your throwing stick…
The simplest hunting tool, is the throwing stick, many already know of the native Autralian throwing stick known as a boomerang. All hunting throwing sticks are designed to fly straight and true, with great spped and force, and this will be your first hunting tool…
Hunting (Traps): The lazy way to hunt…
Learnig and mastering the use of traps will be as close as you can get to not aving to work for your food, traps become your survival supermarket, setting a trap line correctly one day will give you an abundance of food that could last you many weeks before you need to set your trap line again. There is no laying in waite for your quarry, instead you will have the rest of the day to do as you please…
In terms of energy used, traps are easilyt he most efficient use of your time and energy, and as your experience grows you can start to trap larger animals, and have them succeed more of the time until you need only set a few traps every few days or weeks to get what you need to live very comfortably…
Cooking Meat: How to Cook Your Meat the Easy Way…
Like cooking edible plants there are very simple ways to do it and some more complex ways, many are shared with the cooking of edible plants, and so you do not have much more to learn.
Meat Storage: How to turn an abundance of meat into a dried store that could last you all winter…
When you can hunt and trap easily, you will probably catch more than you need every time you set out to gather animals from the landscape. This abundance or meat can begin to rot quickly if you do not first dry it and then store it in a dry secure place. You might be storing excess from hunting and trapping, or purposefully putting away stores to last you throught he winter months when it is harder to hunt the provisions you need to live…
Other Animals Products: You can do more with animals than just eat their meat…
There are many uses for nearly every part of the animals you hunt and trap. Skins can be tanned & turned into clothing, shoes. Bones can be used to make tools, fish hooks and weapons. Sinew can become amazingly strong cordage and thread. Some peoples have even made glue from the hooves of deer…
In the next few weeks there will be more information posted about the coaching program so keep watching…
