About the event
Using the Whole Animal
The energy invested and the risks taken by our ancestors when hunting using relatively short range weapons, made it important to waste as little of an animal as possible. Each animal represents a precious resource consisting of an astonishing variety of raw materials. These materials provide food, clothing, containers, cordage, tools, lighting and a host of other possibilities!
So many parts of an animal do not make it onto our modern grocery store shelves!
This course covers some of the myriad options for using those parts.
This course will introduce you to what parts of an animal are useful for what products and how to preserve those parts until they can be used. We will cover all basic butchery for both food and utilitarian items, as well as those parts not often seen as useful.
Multiple levels of technologies from stone to steel will be covered!
