Empowering, Connecting and Inspiring with Ancestral and
Land-based Living Skills
...because there has never been a more important time to remember how capable and resilient you truly are.
Picture yourself sitting around glowing coals you created through friction fire, crafting a clay pot to cook a meal of food you harvested from the woods around you. The feel of the cool, wet clay under your fingers, the crackle of the fire in your ears, and the smell of freshly smoked buckskin in your nose. Beautiful, isn’t it?
In an increasingly modern and technological world, it is important to remember that not only do you have the capacity to tend to your needs from the resources in the landscape around you, but it is what you evolved to do.
Engaging your hands and mind in the skills our ancestors used for countless generations makes you more resilient when times get hard. It can also make you healthier, more aware and more grounded, increasing your sense of connection and well-being.
The mission of Buckskin Revolution is to help people feel connected to their wildest, freest selves, to their human community, and to the living world around them. It is to teach them the skills to gather and create the things they need for daily living- clothing, shelter, food, containers and more. It's about helping people feel empowered to choose a life for themselves rather than feeling trapped in the system. It is not just about surviving, but about living a beautiful life and thriving!
We are passionately devoted to practicing and teaching these skills because the world needs them, now more than ever!

In 2018 I had the opportunity to put my lifetime of learning to the test as a participant on Alone Season 6 on the History channel.

I look forward to sharing these revolutionary skills with you!
