Primitive Hunter Gatherer Level 1 Course

The first part of the Hunter Gatherer Winter Program is the 5-Day Level 1 complete immersion course, Dec. 1 - 5th.

Program Details:

During our 2 week immersion through both our level 1 and level 2 hunter gatherer experience, you will be challenged to learn and experience the world of survival in a way that will help you not only learn to survive, but to fully engage and thrive in your natural environment, while also experiencing a deeper connection to the natural world that sustains us.

Additionally, you will be placed into a situation where your survival skills are tested.

The full level 1 and level 2 experience together is a 24/7 immersion program that starts on Monday morning [12/1] and finishes Sunday at noon [12/14] with a one-night break in between level 1 and level 2.

During this immersion course you will be allowed to bring some basic survival items, but one at a time these will be taken away as you rapidly develop primitive skills and learn to move from mentality of “surviving” to “thriving” in the wilderness.

================================================
LEVEL 1

The first 5 days of this immersion experience are spent learning and refining the core skills of the hunter gatherer both from the physical perspective as mental and cultural.

In a highly hands-on, 24/7 environment, you will learn and improve your skills in the areas of:

· Survival strategies
· Basic Stone tool manufacturing (flint knapping)
· Fire making (bow drill, hand drill, fire plow, tinder, structures, etc.)
· Natural cordage (leaves, bark, rootlets, animal sinew)
· Water (locating, collecting, purifying and storing)
· Survival shelter (natural, debris hut, wiki up)
· Useful plants of Texas (identification and harvest of wild edibles and simple medicinals)
· Primitive hunting & trapping (throwing sticks, survival bows, deadfalls, snares, etc.)
· Primitive fishing techniques (spears, weirs, hooks, line and nets)
· Skinning, cleaning and preparing wild game (ex: crayfish, fish, birds, small game such as squirrel, porcupine, rabbit and raccoon)
