Tom Elpel's Hollowtop Outdoor School Website
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!!!!!
