Tom Elpel's Hollowtop Outdoor School
One stop really has it all.
Hollowtop has great classes; reference materials for outdoor skills; schools listed by location; the Insect Food Newsletter; and a great online calendar of outdoor skills, primitive tech events and classes. Hollowtop also has the information for The Bulletin of Primitive Technology. We think this is the best magazine in print. Check out articles and back issues on Hollowtop. Tom Elpel's books are also a powerful reason to visit his site. They're excellent. Botany in a Day, and several other titles are setting a new and higher standard for outdoor skills books. Excellent stuff! You Rock, Mr. Elpel!!!!!
