In the Santa Cruz mountains. Can’t think of a better place for it. These folks run a five hour class on surviving in the wild, as the native Americans might have. My guess is that they’ll be on the crunchy-granola side of things, but that’s fine by me. If the edible plants class we took up in Marin is anything to go by, they’ll be perfectly nice people. If a bit flakey.

Skills covered are:

• Building Shelter
• Making a Fire
• Learning Edible Plants
• Making Traps

The big question becomes when to do it.
