SUMMARY:BUSHCRAFT WEAPONRY WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\,  October 4\, 10 a.m. \nWEAPONRY WORKSHOP\, focusing on TRAPS\, TRIGGERS\, DEADFALLS\, NETS\, etc. \n \n \nThese are bushcraft skills that everyone took for granted a few generations ago\, but which most urban folks know nothing about. Simple trapping of animals can be a life-or-death skill\, under certain circumstances. You’ll be provided with an overview of all primitive weapons systems\, both active and passive.  The techniques are generally quite simple\, but they take practice to master to the level where you are effective. \nWe will then focus on how to make the simplest of snares\, and trigger mechanisms for bird traps and dead falls\, such as the scarf trigger of the quail trap\, and the basic figure 4 trigger. \n \nYou’ll also learn how to make a basic net\, whose many applications include hammock\, fishing\, carrying net\, etc. \nYou will also learn about several other primitive and silent weapons\, both passive and active weapons. \nNo animals will be present\, and no animals will be harmed. This is strictly an educational how-to program. \nBring your knife since you will be making things.  Bring water\, and a snack if needed. \nLocation 2. Hahamongna Park but RSVP in case location must be changed. \nAlso bring your bowl\, and water\, since we will probably cook a wild dish. \nExact directions to be sent after registration. \n

SUMMARY:LUNCHTIME SHELTER WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 11\, Noon\, LUNCHTIME SHELTER WORKSHOP \nWe need shelter not just from the cold\, but from rain\, wind\, even the sun.  The location and circumstances dictate what sort of shelter we build. And in an emergency\, we have to be very creative about how to make a shelter\, or to find something to adapt as a shelter. \nYou will learn about setting up a tent\, and some simple shelter ideas from tarps. \nLearn the most basic of wilderness shelters\,  and work on at least two primitive shelters. Bring gloves! \n  \nYou will also learn about some of the useful plants of the area. \n  \nMeet at Location 2\, Hahamongna Watershed Park.

SUMMARY:GOURD WORKSHOP\, mid-day
DESCRIPTION:mid-day   GOURD WORKSHOP \nThursday\, July 10\, noon. \n \n \nHere’s another ancient skill that you’ll enjoy learning.  Each person will work on turning an ornamental gourd into a bowl for eating\, or perhaps a canteen\, ladle\, or plate. \nThere are several skill sets involved\, and we’ll talk you through them so you’ll understand the mechanics of making a gourd that you’ll be happy to use. \n  \n  \n  \n \nWe’ll bring tools\, but if you have a good knife\, hacksaw\, fine files\, bring them!  Not a highly-complicated craft\, but requires patience.  You will select a gourd that we bring\, and clean it\, decide where to cut it — no two gourds are alike  — and then clean the inside and smooth the sharp edges. You’ll end up with a new skill and a bowl or dish that you can use right away. \nYou’ll also get to take seeds home so you can grow your own if you have the space. \n \n$45.   [$30 for seniors/students]    RSVP for this one so we bring enough gourds!   Location given after you register. \n \n  \n
