      Medicinal Plants

Begin your journey into unlocking the powerful medicines that the plant 
kingdom has to offer as you prepare your own tincture, salve, lotion, 
decoction and infusion to take home with you. We'll cover all the 
basics, including where to find your ingredients (both in nature and 
online), the materials you'll need for your preparations, and some of 
the indispensable resources that will assist you as you continue on this 
new and exciting path. This class will open up a whole new world to you, 
as you develop a deeper understanding of the ways in which we all can 
learn the language of our plant brothers and sisters.

      Traps, Simplified

In a survival situation you can increase your odds of obtaining food 
many times over by knowing how and where to set traps. But a book full 
of nice trap pictures that are applicable to specific situations is 
usless information unless you are prepared to memorize each & every one! 
Instead, learn the few basic principles that apply to ALL traps, both 
man and animal. Once these are understood you will be capable of 
devising your /own/ traps as environments, materials & situations 
dictate. Go beyond the basics of the Figure-4 and Paiute deadfalls as we 
study animal habitats, and which traps are most effective under what 
circumstances.
NO ANIMALS (or humans) WILL BE HARMED IN THIS CLASS!

      Backwoods Hygiene & Improvised First Aid

Good hygiene is even more important when you are out in the woods than 
it is when you are at home and the importance of proper sanitation in a 
backwoods or survival situation can not be overstated --- more people 
become sick from a "casual" attitude toward hygiene and sanitation than 
from almost anything else!
This new workshop will teach you how and where to dig a latrine, ways to 
keep your perishables safe, plants that can be used as soaps and several 
other simple rules that will help you keep your food, your camp and your 
self in a state of safe cleanliness.
But what if you're out in the back country and something DOES go wrong? 
Learn how to improvise bandages, deal with cuts and wounds using some 
"must-know" medicinal plants, and amazing alternative uses for common 
bathroom items that should always be in your backpack or GO Bag.
/*NOTE:* The improvised first aid techniques taught in this workshop 
have been used and proven effective by our good friend Mark Wright 
throughout his 20 year career as an Independant Duty Corpsman with the 
US Navy. As with all of our workshops, we only teach what we KNOW!/
