Free Basic Wilderness Survival Course

Seekonk, MA – Whether you're a glam-camper, going off-grid, or somewhere in between, survival skills are the ultimate insurance policy! Come to the two-hour workshop Basic Wilderness Survival Course on Wednesday, May 18 at 6 PM in Seekonk Meadows (meet at the sign in the library parking lot) to learn survival skills for the outdoors that may someday save lives. Trained survivalist Matt Gabriel will teach us: how to build a debris hut, coal-burn a wood bowl, rock boil drinking water, soups, and stews, make fire with the bow drill, identify and use edible/medicinal wild plants, "Lost Proofing," prepare a pocket survival kit and all about EDC items.
