FULL BELLY FORAGING

I've been eating wild things for thirty years. I grew up exploring the sandhill country of central South Carolina. There was a vast tract of forest across the road from my house where me and a tribe of little boys dug kaolin clay from creek banks, followed deer tracks in the sand and played war games hiding in the bracken. I began leading plant walks 19 years ago along the rivers in Columbia, SC. Since then I've had the opportunity to introduce thousands of people around SC and beyond to this way of seeing and connecting with the natural world.

THE PRIMITIVE NATURALIST

Jeff believes that our connection to the living Earth is crucial, and teaches the skills needed to live in closer touch with all living things. Wilderness Survival is mostly not about guts, firepower or luck, but requires knowledge, practice, awareness and positive attitude. These skills are fun, educational and accessible to everyone, and they will change your life for the better in many ways. Mastering a survival skill makes us more self reliant, which improves confidence. This makes us believe that other types of challenges can be met and solved as well. Having a “bag of tricks” and a track record of success reduces worry and stress. Stay safe, comfortable, happy and healthy in the outdoors.
