Introduction

I've been practicing primitive skills since I was old enough to hold a knife and looking to exchange knowledge.

Do you have any survival skills experience? If so, please explain.

I've successfully hunted with atlatl, black powder, traditional and primitive archery equipment, as well as run a successful furbearer trapline for three years , where I picked up much of my tracking and animal behavior knowledge. I've been bladesmithing for over 10 years, mostly using recycled steel such as automotive leaf and coil spring steels. I've made several functional bows that I and others have used to take game. I have contributed my primitive skills know-how to several youth programs and work well with kids, as I have an awesome child of my own, Milo, who loves to do all the cool stuff his cool dad does. Milo and I practice our skills on a regular basis on hunts; atlatl, archery and black powder, and on outings whenever we can get away. His interest in the primitive arts has inspired me to push myself to learn practice and teach these skills as much as I can.
