Primitive Skills | Stone Tool Crafting

Ranch Experiences

Our Primitive Skills classes will teach you how to be more comfortable in the outdoors through classes that teach you to be self reliant - not gear reliant. Learn how to build stone tools and learn how to use them. Your teacher, Phillip Liebel, started exploring his Cherokee heritage after hearing stories from his mother and grandmother. It began with learning how the Cherokee made their bows and gradually moved into primitive trapping, and eventually primitive living skills in general. Phillip specializes in primitive shelters, friction fire, water procurement and purification (specifically without containers), primitive traps and snares, primitive cordage making, primitive archery and hunting, primitive fishing, fish traps, natural fish poisons, wild edible and medicinal plants, flint knapping, and stone age living skills in general.
