I've known some of these kids since they were 4 years old so it makes this Wilderness Skills Camp extra fun. They got to "learn by doing", we started fires in multiple ways, built shelters, setup a trail cam baited with expired chili in search of bigfoot, go canoeing on the passaic river, cook trout and bannock bread on a stick over the fire, make survival tin kits, make plaster animal tracks, learn a few wild edibles, catch lots of frogs and more.

Tried to revive this thick brook trout after a fight from the depths but it didn't take so it went into the smoke for a few hours until suppertime. Made for a most delicious camp meal.
Carried my gear deep into the Adirondack Mountain Preserve in search of big Brook Trout and found just what I was after.
Canoe camping early June with my wife @nataliahubisz and doggie Oly.
A few photos from work this month. I enjoyed sharing fire friction, campfire cookery, fishing 101, swamp tromps and canoe trips. We cooked rainbow trout both on a stick and wrapped in burdock leaves over the coals. We boiled fresh picked nettle greens and poured the water off as tea. Fun to see the kids enjoy a taste of the wild. A few more fishibg derbies are scheduled and as the weather warms up, I'll share a lot of frog pond science and butterfly tent safari programs.
Guided @mr.smothers in the wild. We found a few rainbow trout for a catch & cook.
