This all-day field class goes beyond mere survival and delves into long-term skills used by the indigenous cultures of the Southwest. Tony Nester, survival expert and author of Desert Survival Tips, Tricks and Skills, will teach time-tested survival strategies and self-sufficiency methodologies that date to the roots of civilization. Participants will learn sustainable indigenous skills such as how to create fire-by friction, how to weave rope from yucca fibers, and how to make primitive deadfalls. Nester will discuss modern survival skills such as how to fashion utensils, how to start a fire using steel and wool, and how to make delicious jerky. This is a great opportunity to increase your self-reliance! Please note: no animals will be trapped during this course. Enrollment is limited.
