The following is an email sent to the wilderness skills mailing list. I thought some others might be interested who aren't on the list. These courses are held in Athens, GA.
Hello-
In a time such as this, I am thankful to have this technology to help coordinate learning about others. Still, I am brought to the thought that as email will probably be one day considered as primitive as a shared operator street phone line, the most basic arts of survival will probably still be invaluable to learn and pass along. At any rate, be it smoke signals or instant messaging, it is my privilege to pass along some valuable information to you about the upcoming Ancient Wilderness Skills Courses this weekend and the next as we round our winter/spring offerings.
You all have either attended a level 1 class or have signed the list to take a future class. If you are still interested, here’s the skinny on what’s to come:
Levels 1 & 2 - This weekend, April 1 (noon-5pm): On this day we will be conducting the first Level 2 courses. Since we have had many calls for those who didn’t make the Level 1 class the first time around this winter, we are also going to be offering a Level 1 course concurrently. Each class will meet together at the same time (Noon), and from there we will greet and then split into 2 groups and have some fun in the woods. We will rejoin for a closing at 5pm.
Level 2 - This weekend, April 2 (noon-5pm): On this day will teach only Level 2 for those who have completed Level 1. This means some people will be fortunate enough to take both back to back. On that note, anyone from Level 2 on Sat. is welcome to take this day’s course as well. It is great to practice with others! If you have not already signed up for Level 2 and want to take it -this class has more slots so we encourage you to sign up for this day. Some people have told me they plan on camping overnight. If you choose to do this, please come prepared and call 613-3631 before hand to make sure they have a shelter or campsite available.
Level 3 - Next weekend, April 3 (10am Sat to 5pm Sun): This course will be a special course covering the 5 essentials and some extra campfire activities. Be ready for hands-on learning and projects that you will be able to finish and bring home. We are all thrilled to be camping out with the class! Please register for this as soon as you think you might like to participate so that we can gather or purchase the right amount of materials for the class -613-3631. Plan on bringing regular backpacking gear (warm sleeping bag, rain protection, tent if not in a shelter, warm clothing, working flashlight, etc.). The facilities will be available all night. I will provide more information when we get our final roster. Please email me if you want to add this course.
Thanks! I’d like to take this chance to thank all of the instructors for taking the time to share and everyone participating for taking the time to learn. I hope to see many of you this weekend.
