Wilderness & Survival Skills

A regenerative future begins with ancient skills

There was a time when people knew how to live–and live well–with what the landscape provided. Most of us today have lost these ancient skills. With them, we’ve lost critical knowledge of how to live sustainably.

Wilderness and survival skills classes at the Horn Farm look beyond self-sufficiency, resourcefulness, and preparedness. By reclaiming the abilities of our ancestors, we deepen our sense of place, belonging, and responsibility for the land and one another.

Some of our offerings focus on true ancestral skills, teaching people how to create fire, build shelter, and find food purely from the land. Other offerings balance these sensibilities with modern privileges, empowering people to connect with the land by promoting preparedness in backcountry settings.
