Among the many things we have going for us, resilience-wise, in this area is a rich knowledge of primitive skills - anything from how to make fire without matches, to how to forage our surrounding for food, the materials for making weapons and even clothing. This weekend in Wells is the Annual Maine Primitive Gathering, in which classes and workshops in a wide variety of such skills are offered.
Many organizations are involved in the gathering (or if not involved directly, offer related classes), including Broad Winged Farm and associated Homesteading Arts Cooperative, the Primitive Skills School, White Pine Programs in York, and others.
If you can't make it this year, but are interested, keep an eye out for next year's gathering.
