Camping

[verdesardog]

It's probably too late for any of you to plan for this but I'm going camping for a week in Idaho. Woodsmoke is the name of the venue. Look on the net for backtracks, they are hosting this along with two others I go to evey year.

Here is a short synopsis:

We originally planned 12 University classes based on 100 participants. Since we are short of that number, and the responses were overwhelmingly in favor of the Fieldcraft classes, Thursday thru Saturday will focus on those topics. For those who chose Plant Life – Useful, Medicinal, Constructive; Animal Life – Tracking, Trapping, Processing, Tanning; Navigation or Stove Making as you first or second choices, you will focus on that topic (see the enclosed University Roster). For those who chose classes that were project-based (Forging, Scandi Knives and sheaths, Clothing, etc.) classes will begin Monday evening and run in shorter blocks all the way until Saturday (See Evening Workshop schedule). This will allow most everyone to do at least one hands-on project during the week (some workshops will require a small materials fee). During the morning and afternoon blocks, we will focus on a central topic followed by breakout workshops lasting from 30 minutes to 2 ½ hours. These short classes will have some projects requiring a materials fee as well.

I will be teaching land navigation, map and compass, gps and alternative methods.

You and my dad would get along great. He teaches Land Navigation and Wilderness Survival at the university here.
