SUMMARY:LUNCHTIME TRAPS\,TRIGGERS\, PRIMITIVE WEAPONRY WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make traps\, triggers\, snares\, deadfalls — learn by doing! \nThursday\, April 16\, noon \nNote:  We do not go out and try to kill or trap animals when we do this class. \nWe recognize that hunting and fishing are long-established methods of putting food on the table\, especially during times of hardship and emergency.   Though I have never really been what you’d call a “hunter\,” I always wanted to know how to capture and clean animals for food\, if I had to.   I learned originally how to clean animals by using roadkill\, and fish that I caught.   Later\, I learned how to make and use primitive traps from various sources\, such as Paul Campbell and Larry Dean Olsen.  So if you’re like me\, and just want to know how to make these devices “just in case\,” please come to the class. \nWe’ll  meet in the Arroyo Seco to learn which woods are best for traps and triggers.  Then’ we’ll work on carving a deadfall trigger\, a trigger for a quail trap\, and more. \n \nYou’re learn by doing.  Bring your knife! (We have extras if  you don’t have one) \n \nWe’ll see edible and medicinal plants. Bring your canteen.

SUMMARY:WILD FOOD WALKABOUT
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nSaturday\, May 1\, 10 a.m. \n  \nWILD FOOD WALKABOUT \nIn this class\,  we’ll walk about the watershed area in search of the seasonal plants.  After our rains\, we’ll see lots of the greens that develop in winter and spring in California.  Who knows? We might even see mushrooms\, though mushrooms are very unpredictable. \nWe’ll discuss edible\, medicinal\, and useful plants we find\, and collect greens for soup. \nWhere it’s safe to do so\, you’ll also learn to make fire without matches\, and then we’ll make and cook soup! \nDress comfortably.  Bring your bowl\, and your water canteen for our walk.   If you have an ethno-botany notebook for plant samples\, bring it along so you can continue to keep records of your findings. \nWe’ll meet in the Arroyo Seco\, with the exact spot sent out after you register. \n$65  (senior/student $45) \n  \n  \n \n
