These folks are located in Cleveland, Ohio. Just wondering if anyone has attended any of their classes?

never heard of them, where do they hold their classes at the ohio river valley or further south?

[Rick]

I don't know. I just ran across them on the web. I did a search on the forum but only found one member that seemed to know about them. However, it was a short post. I'm just looking for some insight. I can do okay on natural foods in the wild but they have a class that interests me. Always looking to learn more. And they have some homesteading classes that looked interesting. I know zip about homesteading.

...hey this looks alright, they offered to teach me the skills seen on Man vs. Wilderness. Uh yeah, fumbling around in the wild like a retard is NOT the tradtional Indian way, thanks anyway. (could just have been a bad marketing idea on their part)

[Rick]

(chuckle) I completely missed that. I was off on some of the other pages looking around. I had to go back and look for your reference and, sure enough, there it was. Oh, well. I guess you have to set the bar low for beginner wannabes like me. What's that? No. No way, dude. I ain't drinkin' that no matter how much I paid for this class.

I'll pay MORE for the class if I don't have to drink it, LOL.

Maybe I could get a discount if they teach me how to make wine & cheese and I teach them how to make moonshine. Now the pottery sounds interesting, and 3 meals without bugs just ain't natural. As for a winter trip to Maine, NO THANKS. My Mom grew up in New Sweden, ME and I would have to go visit relatives. I really didn't see much to offer unless you grew up in a place where all the trees had concrete around them.

If you're goin' there and making moonshine let me know. I migh sign up after all...
