What sort of shelters would you be able to make in the wilderness? We’ll talk about your possible shelters ranging from the post-earthquake shelter, to ready-to-occupy wilderness shelters, to the shelters you’d build from what’s available in the wilderness. Learn about body hollows and their application and limits. Plus, bring your bowl since we’ll conclude this class with some wild food cookery! $65.
