This is a great program and I am lad to see many taking advantage of the schools. Its great to see people wanting to learn more of the traditional skills.
There are all kinds of articles on youtube of people now interested in bushcraft and subsisting in the outdoors with very little help from others. Most are very similar to the skills practiced by remote settlers and pioneers who built America. Its not for everyone though but if interested it can really help build your self sufficiency and not have to count on others as much.
