Episode 16 of the Jack Mountain Bushcraft Podcast is all about the role of crafting in bushcraft and education. Making things with your hands is a big part of our educational programs. I’m joined by Christopher Russell for a discussion about crafting as an educational tool, our experience with crafting during semester courses, and some of the benefits we’ve seen as a result of crafting. Along the way we lay out some of the whys and hows of making things, as well as the motivation for doing so.

We mentioned 2 books during the podcast.

• The Teacher’s Hand-Book Of Slojd
• Nature First: Outdoor Life the Friluftsliv Way
