Just thought I would drop in and say hi. I am located in SE Wisconsin and live on about 5 acres of mixed woods and brush which gives me a great opportunity to practice some of my skills.
I have loved the woods my entire adult life, but now with an 8 year old to introduce to the woods, I wanted to develop some skills. My eventual goal would be to be able to go into the woods with only a knife and blanket and be able to use what nature provides to survive for an extentded period and then pass that on to my son.
A couple of weeks ago I attended the Midwest Primitive Skills Institute weekend course and I was blown away by how much we learned, I will post a review later of the class. But I found that it only whetted my appetite for more.
I found this board and hung out for a few days and saw lots of great information, so I thought I would join and find out more.
One of my biggest weaknesses right now I believe is plant ID/use, so I really want to work on that over the next few months.
