Primitive Challenge

Bryant Pond, ME

Overview

This immersion in primitive living and survival will require you to rely on community living, self-reliance and survival skills developed during this week as your camping gear is taken away a bit at a time.

Youll learn to work as a group on making a natural shelter and dwelling, primitive friction fire, backcountry cooking, and more. Learn various uses of wild plants, tool craft, knife safety, carving, water purification, rope making, nature observation, awareness, tracking, and silent movement. The week culminates with a 24-hour survival challenge. During the challenge, you will be provided with only basic food, a knife, and a piece of cordage. Your self reliance skills will be put to the test!
