We will work on building simple furniture as well as useful items from a base camp perspective from the landscape. Preserving Food and Primitive Trapping techniques will also be a part of the longer-term lessons in this course. We will improve on skills with the tools we have concentrated on edged tools and repairing these tools from damage and wear. In a longer-term camp Comfort, Food, Repair, and Manufacturing Kit items as well as creating additional items like Containers and wooden tools are key elements and will be the focuses of this low stress base camp style course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou must be 18 years old or older to attend this class.\u003cbr\u003eThe registration deadline is 2 weeks prior to class start date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCourse Outline:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBase Camp Bushcraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOutline of Course topics-\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEdged tools Use, Maintenance, and Repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilding useful wooden tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCollection and Reduction\/Bucking\/Splitting of Proper Fire Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFire lays and Fire Management for Warmth and Cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMaintaining fires Long term and Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTemporary Shelters from Framed Tarps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilding a long term shelter and comfortable\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecamp bedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBushcraft Joinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilding simple camp Furnishings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilding Fire Backers and Heat Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSimple Fencing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePrimitive Trapping Methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFood Preservation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWoodsmans Pantry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSimple Camp staple ingredients for well rounded meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBasic camp cooking with simple implements and cookware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNote: All subject matter may be effected by weather, season, and overall class speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    •    Required Gear List - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com\/pages\/winter-skills-class-required-gear-list\"\u003eClick Here\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e    •    Meeting Location - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com\/pages\/pathfinder-ohio-class-meeting-location\"\u003eClick Here\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e    •    Cabin Rentals - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com\/pages\/school-cabin-rentals\"\u003eClick Here\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e    •    Cancellation Policy - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com\/pages\/school-class-cancellation-policy\"\u003eClick Here\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA broad overview of tasks or what you can expect while carrying your gear are:\u003cbr\u003e    •    hikes of 1-2 miles over terrain which may be uneven, muddy or snow-covered\u003cbr\u003e    •    collection of materials off the landscape\u003cbr\u003e    •    dealing with the elements (Cold, Rain, Snow, etc.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater will be available from jugs located in Base Camp.
