About the event
Learn to Use the Whole Animal: A hands-on course in butchery and utilization

Due to the danger and energy expenditure involved with hunting, our ancestors would make sure to waste as little of an animal as possible. An animal represented a precious resource; food, clothing, containers, cordage, tools, and lighting, among other things, could all be derived from a single animal.
