"I love this school! This is the best school! I've been waiting for 10 years to find something like this." - R.B. Participant in the 2009 project. "Lynx is the best teacher I've ever had. I don't know anyone else who has her knowledge and experience in primitive living skills and who teaches with such patience, kindness, and passion. Mostly, I like the fact that she never sits around while giving us tasks to do; she is always there doing whatever we're doing with us and we can model ourselves on her. There is no doubt in my mind that in the future there will be legends told of a mystical Lynx who inspired human beings to reconnect with the earth by recovering ancestral skills. The future generations will be thankful, just as I am." -X. de la F. (France) Participant in the 2009 project.  Lynx is an amazing teacher. Her insightfulness and practice with primitive technology is more than I expected. She uses our ancestors' knowledge and applies it to her everyday living. Her method to educate in a very hands-on, detailed, wilderness classroom, is highly recommended for anybody pursuing self-sufficiency and/or primitive living skills." -K.S. Participant in the 2009 project.   "It was truly an amazing experience. Everything we learned was hands-on so I really felt like I got to learn the skills in a practical way so I can replicate them anytime I want. This was an experience I'll never forget." -A.C. Participant in the 2009 Basic Skills class. "It doesn't get much better than this" - K.S. Participant in 2007 classes. "Thank you for teaching me wondrous things that I will carry with me. I leave with a full cup, a head full of wild ideas and inspiration, and a heavy heart. Many thanks for imparting knowledge of these endangered arts with lots of style and infinite patience." - F.S. Participant in the 2007 project. "Thanks Lynx for providing a much needed renaissance of old skills. You have been quite an inspiration and done a very valuable thing this summer." -D.R. Local and old skills enthusiast.
