Primitive Wilderness Skills, Applied DVD

John & Geri McPherson, internationally known as experts in the field of Primitive Technology, are currently involved in an ongoing program of teaching primitive skills to the Survival Instructors of the U.S. Army Special Forces S.E.R.E. School.

"Survival" takes on a new connotation when you witness "reality" by following a small group into the wilderness under strictly primitive conditions.

In the first half of this DVD you will witness how to create a life from only what is offered by nature. Observe as they make fire (in wet conditions), a waterproof shelter, baskets, bow & arrow, traps, pottery, string, axes, knives, and more... all from natural materials.

The second half of this DVD illustrates how primitive living with all of your gear, even though "primitive' and "primitive made", is nothing more than a camping trip. Venture out with John and Geri McPherson as they lead groups into the Flint Hills of Kansas - teaching and presenting.

We at Pearl Outdoors decided to sell this DVD not because of the filming quality, because it is somewhat poor, but because of the excellent content. This is the only DVD that I've ever seen that has this level of aboriginal caveman / North American Indian skills applied. After watching these DVDs I am confident that I could go out into the woods with nothing, just as they did, make stone axes and knives, build shelters, and create fire even with wet wood. This man is the real deal with 40 years of wilderness experience.

Content warning: This DVD contains hardcore outdoorsmen cleaning game, wearing short shorts, and going without their shirts at times.

I love your website! I've always hated relying on "allopathic" medicine. But if a doctor prescribed say, an antibiotic for my child's eye infection, even though I didn't like the possible long-term effects of the antibiotics, I always felt like I better go ahead and give it to him so I wouldn't risk damaging his eye, just because I didn't know what else to do. I am so happy I can now work toward building up my own knowledge so I can be responsible for the health of my own family.

I thought using herbs was some mysterious science and that a person would have to pay a lot of money to a supposed natural doctor whom they weren't sure if they could trust if they wanted to know how to use herbs. So, thank you!
