Survival School, Wilderness Survival Skills, Primitive skills

Having some "after the harvest" fun at our first Homesteading Arts Cooperative.  Our first gathering was a blast.  We took a tour of Broad-Winged Farm, harvested raspberry leaf, ate delicious foods, gathered and processed cattail flour, and then just chilled with good friends for awhile.  Our next Homesteading Arts Cooperative gathering will be on Sat, July 25, 8am – 4pm, we hope to see you there.

Our Wilderness Survival School

The Maine Primitive Skills School is a wilderness survival school located on 23 wooded acres in Augusta, Maine. We started originally as the Good Earth School in 1989 and became MPSS in 1998. Our goal is to reconnect people to ancient technologies and back to themselves. We teach primitive skills, survival skills, wilderness survival, modern survival, bushcraft, native awareness, wildlife tracking, earth living, shelter building, water collection & disinfection, friction fire making, bow making, flintknapping, wild edibles, hide tanning, scout skills, primitive hunting, earth philosophy, drum making, survival trapping, and more. Come to a class! You will connect with people on a new level and reconnect with wilderness survival skills that your ancestors practiced. We'll see you soon!

Our Mission

"The purpose of the Maine Primitive Skills Survival School is to provide and preserve ancient survival skills that promote awareness and sufficiency with an emphasis on individuals, communities, and environments in today's world."
