Coming June 2023: Never Alone, A Solo Survival Journey

---

Woniya Thibeault wasn’t looking for an adventure of such magnitude, but when the opportunity to participate in Alone® Season 6 fell into her lap, she couldn’t say no.

Dropped into the Arctic wilderness—solo—as winter descended, Woniya intended not only to survive, but to thrive. Out of ten participants in a rugged competition, she hoped to be the last to return home. With only a few tools and meager resources, she would need her survival skills, quick wits, and whole heart to make it through. Never Alone is the story of Woniya’s Arctic journey.

The skids scraped against the hard granite as the helicopter settled onto the barren peninsula. My fingers were shaking so badly from the adrenaline, it was hard to unbuckle my chest straps. Then, with one step down the ladder, I left the modern world and the rest of humanity behind. 
 
I expected the land to be harsh and unforgiving, but I didn’t expect that it would be so breathtaking.
 
Nor that I would fall instantly in love with it. 

The Arctic kicked my butt repeatedly throughout the next three months, but each time it picked me back up, staggered me with its beauty, and showed me again how truly resilient I am. 
 
My Arctic adventure could easily have been a grueling struggle, but by putting my trust in myself and the land, it instead became a beautiful journey to a deeper sense of belonging.

Buckskin Revolution:
Sewing with brain tanned buckskin

Buckskin Revolution is a guide to all aspects of working with brain tanned buckskin, from understanding the material and selecting the best hides, to creating patterns, using the most appropriate stitches and seams, and much more. 

The book is mostly written, but the original version was so long and so comprehensive I have decided to break it into 2 volumes. Volume 1 will cover the basic building blocks and give you everything you need to make wonderful clothing. Volume 2 will take all that one step further, going into details about the particulars of specific garments, dyeing and embellishments, working with furs and other leathers, and more.

  At one time I was selling pdf versions of the rough draft, but now that I am in the editing phase the rough draft is only available to my Patreon members.
