Third Circle
continues to build on the primitive survival skills
and techniques learned in First and Second Circle Camps.
Third Circle Camp is a time to practice and hone
your previous survival education.
It is knowledge that allows
us to read the landscape quickly. It's our ability and
skill that transforms knowledge into something
tangible.
In the two previous circle
camps you have been learning about primitive
shelters easily located or created from the areas
natural debris. Third Circle participants will
build and live in their wilderness shelter during the
week.
Friction fire is another
survival skill you have been introduced to and
now have the opportunity to become proficient in.
Fire will also be important for preparation of food collected during camp and to
purify water.
Food is always an important
component of survival. Even though we are
capable of surviving much longer without food than
water, food keeps up our strength and emotional well
being. By now you will have learned the four basic
survival food groups and gathered and eaten some
of these wild edibles. Participants will be
responsible for collecting, eating and using edible,
medicinal and utilitarian plants.
In addition to plants,
insects are another highly edible food source full of
protein. You will locate and identify four edible
insects.
Pit cooking is fun and a
safe way to prepare food. You will learn this
useful technique in Third Circle Camp.
Nature awareness is at the
heart of wilderness survival. Hunting, stalking
and tracking are a part of survival skills and you will
be required to observe, track and identify four
mammal. Students also
make and use primitive fishing line and hook.
Our goal is
to instruct each student in the use of primitive tools
and skills which are quick and simple, but extremely
effective where and whenever you need to draw on them.
Participants will make and use a quick bow, set four
snares and two deadfalls.
You have steadily increased
your self-confidence and skill level with each camp and have
moved forward from basic survival onward to self-reliance
mastery.
