Adventures
Where the wilderness becomes your teacher!
Step off the grid
and
into the wild!
This 5-day immersive experience is designed to help you reconnect with the natural world!
Experience how to go from modern minimalist camping gear to making everything you need from the wild!
-
CAMPING ultralight - Heading off with just a knife, a few essential items, and some food, you'll start off with learning how to use the minimal gear provided and outdoor living skills to camp comfortably in the wilderness.
-
Living wild- You'll transition to learning how to provide everything you need with only a knife and natural materials! Sleeping in comfortable shelters, starting a campfire with a fire by friction set you carve yourself, and crafting all kinds of useful gear-an agave water bottle, wooden cookware, toothbrushes, backpacks, sleeping mats, soap, yucca sandals, and so much MORE!
-
Hunting & Gathering Skills- You won't starve! We will eat foods that were traditionally carried on journeys by Southwest tribes (mesquite & acorn flour, deer jerky, roasted agave, etc...) and supplement them with delicious native plants we gather, and what we catch using traps and primitive fishing techniques.
Leave the wilderness with a rekindled sense of presence, basic & advanced earth-living skills, and a closer relationship with the land and yourself.
Tuition- 925 (All food & gear provided!)
Length- Five days
challenge level-A FANTASTIC course for those new to the outdoors up to experienced wilderness adventurers who want to lighten their backpacks, and feel more connected to nature, rather than just a temporary visitor! This is a basecamp experience with short day hikes to forage and gather materials.
