Living Wild Projects

Through several months of classes and preparation, students learn a broad range of wilderness living skills. They make tools from stone, bone and wood, learn primitive fire making methods, natural fibre cordage and bindings. They tan hides and make their own clothes, felt or tan their own blankets from raw wool or buffalo hides, manufacture burden baskets, and make water canteens and clay cooking pots. They make their own primitive fishing, trapping, and hunting gear, harvest wild edible plants and process wild meat.

When the preparation period is over, and the students have created a full set of stone age gear, then they may be invited to participate in a free, extended Stone Age Living Project - spending weeks or months living the way our ancestors did in the wilderness.

Lynx has been running these projects since the summer of 2001.

Here are the stories.
