Every year the Elemental Awareness crew heads out to the Sonoran desert to spend a week at Winter Count primitive skills gathering. Winter Count is one of the largest gatherings of wilderness guides, outdoor enthusiasts and primitive living practitioners, and here the crew learns valuable skills to take back and teach at their wilderness program at Element Skate Camp.

Fire by friction.

When I worked at Sagewalk, we taught the kids how to bow drill. They had to make fire by friction in order to cook, which encouraged teamwork and helped them learn to cope with frustration.

Tipis are cool too.
