The Maine Primitive Skills School

is 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, 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 skills that your ancestors practiced. We'll see you soon!

 

Our Mission

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

-Mike Douglas, Director
