Join us as we explore the beauty of northern Michigan winters. This event is perfect for both the novice and veteran as we will be camping in cabins; what a luxury! Our days will be spent hiking around the Rifle River Recreation area, both on and off trail (snowshoes encouraged). Dr. Jon D. Morey will provide lessons on Fieldcraft specific to the winter months. You will be given ample opportunities to learn and use our Uncivilized Technology as a means of staying warm and comfortable. Winter time is the heart of our camping season; the absolute BEST time to optimize your health & happiness. More information including a packing list will be provided closer to the event once registration is complete.

This late Winter Gathering is designed for participants to learn and experience the beauty of small game hunting in the snowy forests of Northern Michigan.
You will have the chance to learn basic tracking, how to coordinate efforts in small parties, proper firearm safety and use, how to clean and cook wild game, as well as any relevant lessons from our Fieldcraft 101.
