This mini immersion will give you a rounded knowledge and experience in multiple hide tanning techniques including;

Bark tanning technique- reindeer/fish
Wet scrape technique- reindeer
Dry scrape technique- moose
Fur/hair on tanning technique- sheep (or other fur/hair on skin)
2 reindeer skins, 1/2 moose skin, 1 fish skin, 1 sheep skin (or other fur/hair on skin) additional 200 euros cash 

The classes will be on a formal 5 days on, 5 days off schedule. During the “off” days you may continue working on the techniques learned to produce enough hides for clothing, back packs, bags, moccasins and many other applications. During the month we will become a small clan and find that there are many more secrets to unravel in community living besides just hide tanning!

Living Wild in 2022

This coming year at Living Wild school we have a full schedule of classes and a summer immersion to explore the wild Northern lands while learning and sharing the skills of our ancestors adapted to this environment. The programs offered between October and May can be experienced as single or multiple classes while staying at the school site in Norway. The summer immersion June 1- August 31 is for those who have a grounded base of Stone Age and wilderness skills and want to deepen their connection to the Earth, the clan and themselves. The summer will culminate in a proposed Stone Age project for those dedicated to prepare for a trip back in time, an other worldly adventure! 

Class costs include supplies unless otherwise specified but NOT food. An additional 100 euros should be brought in the national currency for breakfast and dinners that are cooked by participants on a rotational basis. Students should bring their own snack lunches that can be packed for excursions and do not require cooking.
