Did you ever dream about living as a wild hunter gatherer? Someday (when the kids are off to college and this business become stable) I hope to go spend time living in the wilderness. As a modern woman, I am hardly capable of it though. So I’ve picked up a “hobby” of learning the skills of our paleolithic ancestors; how to make fire by friction, tanning deer hides with the brains, primitive hunting, processing wild edibles… .
One of the places where I am developing the skills for this imaginary journey is at a gathering in the Sonoron desert called Winter Count. And it is coming up soon: Feb. 9th-15th, 2014.

Hi Susan,
If you’ve got the bug… LOL its is the funnest thing going. Hope to see you at one of the gatherings.
Yes, I’d love to see how they do it in your area. I attend and teach at Rivercane and others in my area. I don’t think I’ll ever learn it all. Maybe you know some close friends, Raven and Coyote who attend the western events. One day I’d like to venture there too.
