Survival Skills Strategies Workshop April 2, 2016
As mushroom foragers we travel off-trail often in steep and remote terrain so this workshop is designed to introduce participants to survival tactics that might save their lives if they get lost or stranded on a foray. Besides, it’s also just plain fun.
This class will be limited to FFSC members at first. Last year this workshop filled within hours. If it doesn't fill, the enrollment will be extended to non-members. Enrollment is limited to 18.
