LUNCHTIME TRAPS,TRIGGERS, PRIMITIVE WEAPONRY WORKSHOP

Thu, Sep 10, 7:00 PM
From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery
4.9

To attend and for class location, Register [HERE](https://www.schoolofself-reliance.com/event/lunchtime-useful-plant-walk-25/) Learn to make traps, triggers, snares, deadfalls — learn by doing! Thursday, September 10, noon We recognize that hunting and fishing are long-established methods of putting food on the table, especially during times of hardship and emergency. Though I have never really been what you’d call a “hunter,” I always wanted to know how to capture and clean animals for food, if I had to. I learned originally how to clean animals by using roadkill, and fish that I caught. Later, I learned how to make and use primitive traps from various sources, such as Paul Campbell and Larry Dean Olsen. So if you’re like me, and just want to know how to make these devices “just in case,” please come to the class. We’ll meet in the Arroyo Seco to learn which woods are best for traps and triggers. Then’ we’ll work on carving a deadfall trigger, a trigger for a quail trap, and more. You’re learn by doing. Bring your knife! (We have extras if you don’t have one) We’ll see edible and medicinal plants. Bring your canteen. September 10 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm $30.00 – $45.00 Please register to attend and for location. Hahamonga Watershed County Park is our field office, the class may be in a different location.
