Hunting in the Rockies
About Me
- Owen
- I've been doing ancestral skills since 2004. I enjoy flint knapping, brain tanning, using stone tools, friction firemaking, scout skills, tracking, mud, woodsmoke, and many other primitive/ancestral skills. I also run the scout skills class, previously taught by Hue of Earth Connection Wilderness School, at MAPS Meets. I was also taught knapping by my friend Joshua Brown, he's a phenomenal knapper and produces great work. I worked for Ancestral Knowledge Inc. in D.C. as an instructor as well as for Living Earth School in Virginia. If you have any questions send me an email: builds.the.fire@gmail.com

oo000hhhh!! Owen, thats great! I JUST drank one of those last night. Except I pad $3.50 cents for mine at the Grocery Sto.
All that husk is a prime fiber source too...you can make gnarly ropes, nets, and mats from it.
Also, I've heard that the 'water' in the coconut is quite a bit more powerful then just water.
Supposedly it's packed almost as tightly with electrolytes & soluble salts as human blood plasma.
Meaning that it's probably some 5x or 10x more effective at rehydration then drinking straight water.
Suzi and I are going to Rabbitstick in September! I miss you & look forward to seeing you in the future.
