Practical Primitive This four month Intensive Skills Program focuses on the skills involved in the "traditional" style of fair-chase, spot-and-stalk hunting. These four folks will build their own bows, harvest and make their own arrows and points, and learn to track, trail, spot and stalk game -- the skills of the Ultimate Hunter. This first month was all about bows!

Practical Primitive apologizes for how long it's been since we've posted an update -- just been so darn busy with life! But it's "Using the Whole Animal" workshop week and we just couldn't let that one go by without letting y'all know how much fun we're having!
