Matt "Animal Man" Gabriel will be here to teach teens basic survival skills that may someday save your life or the lives of loved ones. Learn construction of the warmest yet simplest shelter on the planet- the debris hut; how to coal-burn a wood bowl and rock boil drinking water, soups & stews.

Unlock the mystery of primitive fire making with the bow drill; learn at least four edible/medicinal wild plants that are abundant throughout North America and are available year-round. Lost Proof yourself; learn the components of a pocket survival kit and learn what EDC items are and why everyone should have them.

Made possible thanks to a grant from the Weymouth Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
