Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
For Those intersted there will be a Suffolk Boone Challege in September 3rd or fourth weekend... still to be confirmed - 2 nights 
I plan to review accounts of the Lewis and Clark expedition in western North America.
Living "off the land" made food security very vulnerable on journeys of several months.
You ought to be able to carry food and drink for 48 hrs.
Your Boone adventure challenge reads like real fun.
Even shelter. Looking out my window expecting another 15-30 cm snow tonight,
exploration comes to a stand still in 200-300 cm snow. Shelter is the issue.
Should have started work on that back last June.
Pit house or log cabin and a secure source of heat. -40C is brutal.
There's a demonstration pit house at the University of Norther British Columbia.
Probably 10M in diameter, 6' into the ground and 2' of earth spoil on the log roof.
Took a summer for a crew of a dozen to do by hand.
With a couple of cords of fire wood, I'd like to experience winter living for a few weeks.
Better yet with say 3 others for the social context.
