Bushcraft Advanced Skills Program Minimize

Where the Basic Skills course leaves off, the Advanced Skills course picks up. Advancing the shelters, water gathering and fire-making techniques, the students begin to expand their simple skills into instinctive, comfortable actions. New tools are taught, such as those made from bone, stone and woven materials.

As well, philosophical concepts of nature awareness and tracking will be demonstrated and explained to the students; awareness is the key to the wilds. The premise of the Advanced Skills Program is; to perfect and hone the “toolkit” and knowledge of the fledging Bushcrafter. Lasting three days, students of the Advanced Skills Program will be able to try their hands at making;

  • Super Shelters
  • Northern Climate Wickiups
  • Bow Drill Friction Fires
  • Flintknapped tools (arrowheads, hand blades, etc)
  • Gypsy Wells
  • Baskets (coiled, woven and folded bark)
  • Hunting and gathering tools (rabbit sticks, fish traps, digging sticks, etc)

*Primitive, traditional, and modern techniques will be used during program*

General Program Disclaimer: Minimize

Program Topics:  Skills covered during this course may include all or part of the above. However the instructor reserves the right to include or omit any skills, written or otherwise, depending on the availability of materials, insufficient class time, adverse weather conditions or class interest.

Methods of Payment: We accept checks, money orders, bank drafts and cash (in person only).

Deposits:
The entire deposit is applied towards program fees. All programs have a 50% deposit upon registration with the remainder to be paid upon arrival. Remaining program fee must be PAID IN FULL upon arrival.  Deposits are non-refundable except when courses are cancelled, in which case we'll refund your deposit or credit it to a future program date.

Cancellation and Refund Policy: With cancellations more than 60 days in advance of the course or trip, the tuition, less the deposit, will be refunded. With cancellations less than 60 days prior to the start of the course all monies are non-refundable and non-transferable. These policies reflect the fact that we do not overbook, cancelled spaces are very difficult to fill at the last minute, and that the vast majority of costs are incurred in preparing for a course/trip.

Minimum Enrollment: If a minimum enrollment (usually 3) is not met by the application deadline, those signed up have two options. The program can be run with below minimum enrollment, but with an increase in tuition (to meet the minimum enrollment level), the program may be cancelled and the full tuition (including the deposit) will be refunded or the monies can be credited to a future program date.

Liability Release: Before the start of each course or trip all participants are required to have signed both a release form and risk acknowledgement form.

Privacy Policy: We don't sell, rent, lease, lend, loan, trade, or make public your name or contact information. Ever.
