About the event

Learning to survive, and truly thrive, without the support of modern amenities is what rewilding is all about. In the event of a cold-weather wilderness emergency, meeting basic needs for shelter, water and food become an imperative. Humans throughout history, in cold-weather climes, developed a myriad of skills that allowed them to make hearty use of winter's harshest elements.

Let's do this! Learn the basics of winter survival: how to build a snow cave, organize priorities, start a fire on the fly, drink tea, and mostly build a snow cave. We'll meet on the prom in the big flat spot north of the playground: Carter Field. Bring a shovel and a snack! If you don't have either of these things you may still survive. We will provide some shovels, and snacks and hot tea. Give call if you get lost: 808-2183.

Donations of $5-10 (tax-deductible!) will be always be graciously…
