DC Metro Primitive Skills Group

This is a place where anyone who has any experience or interest in learning the ancient ways of primitive skills can come together! We will be hosting a number of different events as well as posting any events sponsored by the Mid Atlantic Primitive Skills Group (http://www.mapsgroup.org/).

Starting in 2012, we will be having a monthly meetup focusing on specific skills ranging from native awareness to basketry to shelter and more! Keep your eye out for future meetups and provide any suggestions you may have for skills to practice.

Also, this group will thrive once we have a place to practice all skills on a monthly basis. Please notify the organizer, Jonathan Heiss, if you would like to suggest a meetup location.

Thank you, and welcome to the group!
