Are you in...?

Yes I'm In!

Wake Up in an Off-Grid Tipi

Grab your bow and arrows and each morning start the day with a few rounds of instinctive archery using 3D animal targets and hunting tipped arrows for a real-life feel. 

Next, wander the waterways and woodlands near your tipis to gather food for your communal meal cooked over fire.

The afternoons are spent trying skills such as net making, fire-by-friction, basket weaving, game prep - all communally on joint projects around the fire.

Take a nap in the sun, or go for a wild swim then return for conversational lessons around the fire, about Natural Navigation and living off-grid.

Go home 'centred', with a new feeling of capability knowing you have new skills to see you through most survival situations.
