WHAT OTHERS SAY.... The following comments were from the "AWAKENINGS" equivalent we give for the Boy Scouts of America. Here's what they said...
"I
think the best part of the weekend is that it doesn’t really
end." "The
stalking is some seriously cool stuff." "Outstanding
staff due to their knowledge and ability to work together. Very,
very easy going staff - Made me feel like family!" ***"Crow,
Kane, and Scully are pure adrenaline!! A wild roller coaster
ride through the wilderness!!"*** "I
found the entire weekend was jammed packed with information and
skills. I enjoyed myself tremendously and can only hope to
remember all that was taught." "My
family is putting up a pool in my backyard, so we chopped up a
huge circle of grass and turned over all the dirt and raked it
out nice and level. Later that night I went out back for
something and low and behold there in the loose damp soil was
tons of perfectly clear tracks!!!! My dog, my brother, a racoon
and what I think was a rabbit all left tracks in the circle. I
took of my boots and socks and looked at all their tracks really
carefully. After I had looked over all of their tracks I looked
at my own for awhile. So any way I wanted to thank you for
teaching me to appreciate and look with such awe at something
that a year ago would have meant nothing to me and now provided
me with a couple hours of enjoyment and enlightenment." ADELPHI
UNIVERSITY On
November 12, AEAC (Adelphi Environmental Action Coalition)
sponsored a special event about Nature and Wilderness Survival,
hosted by field experts Steve K. and Crow. The discussion and
demonstration centered around surviving in the wilderness in a
peaceful and non-intrusive manner. Some of the techniques
demonstrated were fire-making using a bow drill and rope-making
using naturally-occurring materials like cedar bark. The
spiritual aspects of this type of survival were a major focus:
one cannot survive in nature if one tries to conquer it. This
event was wonderfully informative, but there was simply not
enough time to discuss everything. Hopefully, the AEAC will
invite Steve and Crow back for another night of enlightenment. |
