outdoor Survival skills classes

From building shelters, starting a campfire, to finding your way, outdoor survival skills help us enjoy the outdoors safely and remind us of our innate connection with the natural world.

2022 classes
Please check back in March for 2023 offerings

Fire Making
Sunday, March 6, 2022, 1:00-3:00pm
Being able to reliably build a fire can greatly increase your camping enjoyment and can also be a lifesaver in case of an emergency. Getting a fire started, however, is often not an easy task in our wet environment. This class will take you through the process, from gathering material, turning it into burnable pieces, and laying the fire. Specific topics include: fire lays, finding dry fire-starting material, feather sticks, splitting wood with a knife or saw, fire starters you can carry with you, and knife and saw safety. Instructor: Chris Abercrombie

When: Sunday, March 6, 2022, 1:00-3:00pm
Where: Private residence, near the corner of Johnson Creek Blvd and 36th Ave
Cost: $25. Current Cascadia Wild volunteers receive $5 off, use promo code CaWVolunteer5off at checkout.
Bowdrill Fire
Learn to make fire without matches, flint, or steel.  Please check back with us in March for more details!

About the instructor:
Chris Abercrombie has been studying and teaching ancestral skills for more than a decade. His love of the outdoors was kindled as a kid, fishing the lakes and rivers of central-southern California with his Dad. In his 30’s he found his way into ancestral skills through his quest to become more self sufficient and less reliant on modern gear. Chris is a father, hunter and avid archer. When not working, he spends most of his free time roaming wild places in the coast range and Cascades putting the skills he practices to use. 

New classes are offered often.
