“The beauty of learning about these ancient skills and knowledge is the unique opportunity to connect with our ancestors and the natural world, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of their struggles and triumphs as well as keeping these skills alive to better connect us with nature once again.. Whether it's creating an ember from friction or hand-stitching reindeer hides into a sleeping bag, these skills transport us back in time, mentally and spiritually, and offer a glimpse into the lives of those who came before us.” - Billy Souter
