GENDER AND THE PREHISTORIC SKILLS TODAY

 Reading about the ancient skills one might get the idea that only men are involved but this is far from the truth , many ladies are practitioners of the aboriginal skills . I have an article about one of the outstanding women, Robin  Blankenship ( http://www.earthknack.com/) is a primitive practitioner who has written a few books on the skills and has been an instructor for many years . 

The classes that Christopher Nyerges holds always has many ladies in attendance . So it  is not an exclusive domain of the men to practice the aboriginal skills . If one attends Winter count or Rabbit Stick or any number of such events in the states you will find a lot of ladies many who are very good at the skills, i'm not going to try and name them because if i fail to mention someone i will feel like a jerk .

My goal here is to get the message across that this is not an exclusive activity for men oh no not at all. As a matter of fact i would put many of the ladies up side most men in this primitive skills thing. Now guys don't get all bent out of shape about this, don't go all macho on me because truth is the truth .  

 So part of my plan is to motivate some of you lady people to get involved learning the skills from Id'ing the wild edible plants to all the other skills, you can do it.This also a fine thing for couples to do together. 

 Alright if you have any questions post them in the comments and i will try and have an answer that makes sense. 

 So ladies see ya in the bushes ...
