Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Great report BT, looks a good course and instructor.

Southwest US, Arizon, new mexico,etc.
I would mind going to Cornwall, I heard there's great fishng there. :chill:
Did any of you notice his rabit stick in the third picture from the bottom? I thought they were normally just a straight peice of wood?
No Any peice of wood thrown right will do the job. Obviously a certain size and weight helps but as mentioned in the artical a Boomarang is just a version of throwing stick that comes back because it's used in a land were wood is at a premium(you lose your stick you go hunger)
Great articule by the way looks like a lot of fun
My thoughts.

Most rabbit sticks are usually curved. So when thrown, it provides the right amount of blunt force trauma.
Interesting, but since I have hiked the area and live not far, I am biased. I see a lot of desert schools are useing Verde and Sycamore canyons as their play grounds. Personally I prefer it in the winter months. Monsoon is not the best time to around the river. Just last month a wall of water 13 ft high came down the canyon after a hard rain. The extremes of tempeture of night and day are more challenging. Some areas south of where they were is heavily polluted from old mines. But it is a wonderful way of leaving civilization behind quickly. Rabbit sticks are pretty much something of choice. The Navajo's have a sport where they chase jackrabbits on horse back at break neck speeds across broken country and kill them with their rabbit sticks.

It is easier to use a person that is practiced in a teqhnique, than to use a learner, as a result it is sometimes preferable to get pictures of instructors doing something than it is to get someone who is learning, so you end up with pictures of instructors teaching, this is not always the case, but you will see it.
This does not mean that you learn anything less from the course, it just means that it is more reliable to watch an instructor than a student because of the amount of practice they have had (that is from a photographers point of view)
I forgot to mention this first time around, but it also shows that the instuctors can do what they preach

Did we all spot the deliberate mistake?! (Can't imitate something that hasn't been demonstrated!!)leon-1 said:

Makes sence. My Scout-encyklopedia (i'm not a scout, never been) has a hole page with instruction technique: 1. Tell the students what's about to be explained. 2. Tell them how you're gonna explain it to them. 3. Explain it. 4. Give a summary of the explanation.This is based on theory learning. Practice is a different thing.

Yep, I do apologise for my previous mistake, but this is the basis for all instruction for people of various talents/skills/Knowledge. With this all can learn and to a degree teach, obviously depending on thier experience and knowledge.
Beware (not the darkside), as an instrucor teach only that which is certified or less than you know. Guessing or worse could get you into a lot of trouble

Didn't mean to pick on you mate, but this is such a powerful principle that it's worth pointing out the right order!leon-1 said:
I use it with a range of ages from toddlers through to PhD students (guess which has the most common sense!) and a range of activities - it works!!!

If you haven't read Cody Lundin's book, you're missing a good read. It's called 98.6 Degrees, The Art of Keeping Your bottom Alive. Lots of good practical advise that is not often found in other survival manual. It's not really a bushcraft how to book but focuses on psychological aspects of survival as well as practical advise for surviving some of the most common survival situations.
Those little acronyms drive me nuts. Seems like every survival manual has one kind or another. I could spend hours trying to remember them... :shock: :rolmao:

Leon is quite correct, you always use someone who is well drilled in the skill for demos, by doing this you are showing how it should be done properly (live demo - no video edits) and as for the instructor....KNOW YOUR STUFF...DON'T BLUFF, you would be suprised how many do, I have witnessed two instructors do just this in the last three months (one with potentially lethal results).
