WATER GATHERING AND PURIFICATION 10/29/11
Primitive skills courses will be taught by Tom Brown III of the Primitive Arts Collective. Tom has been a practitioner and teacher of primitive technology, wilderness survival, tracking, and nature observation since an early age. Trained from birth by his father, Tom Brown, Jr., founder of the world-renowned Tracker School, Tom is one of the world's foremost instructors of primitive technology and primitive wilderness survival.
All programs will initially meet in the Rowe Visitor Center at Rowe Woods.
Clean water is so readily available in our modern society that we take it for granted. In a survival situation, securing clean water is far more difficult. This class will allow participants to explore how to gather and purify water as our ancestors did. We will learn about several different sources we can use to obtain water for our drinking and cooking needs.
