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:MID-DAY NATURAL NAVIGATION CLASS
DESCRIPTION:October 23\, noon \nGetting around accurately is a valuable survival skill!  Sometimes you have a compass and map\, and sometimes you don’t. \nIn this two-hour class\, you’ll learn how to construct a sun compass\, and how you can use that to tell direction and time.  This sun compass is nearly as accurate as your magnetized compass\, and the “clock” is more accurately telling you local solar time — good enough for general purposes. \n \nYou’ll also learn some natural methods of telling direction\, which are ages-old observations.  You’ll learn which are worth remembering\, and which are “old husband’s tales.” \n \nWe’ll also address how to identify constellations for telling directions\, and how to navigate with only a compass.  So bring your compass. \n \n \nWhat we cover in our short time will depend upon how much time everyone needs to grasp the concepts.  Location 2\, Hahamongna Watershed Park.
