Edmonton Area Winter Survival Day 2

November 5 (10am - 5pm)

Foraging and Survival Food - finding food in winter is a challenge. This class will cover some emergency food sources that are available year round. We will also have some warming winter tea. 

Salve Making - great for winter-cracked hands and lips. Participants will be able to take home the salve they make for themselves or to give as a gift. 

Fire Starter Making - make a "cheat" fire starter for your next fire. Great to keep in your vehcile if you ever need to make a fire unexpectedly in difficult conditions. 

Bushcraft Torches - one of Kaykima's popular classes: make a torch using only a knife and all natural materials.

WHAT TO BRING

Dress for colder than what the forecast calls for

Snacks, lunch, plenty to drink

Non-folding knife (optional) 

If you have time and would like to collect hardened spruce resin (sap) from pine or spruce trees to bring to the class that would be great but not necessary. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There will be a hot-tent (tent with a wood stove) on site where we will meet in for instruction and for some of the topics and to warm up in. 

There are no established washrooms on site. Participants will need to be comfortable with going outdoors. A rudimentary toilet may be on site. 

Kaykima requires 24 hours advanced notice of cancelations in order to provide a refund. Any notices outside of that timeline may result in a class credit offer.
