This week up at the Environmental Sentinels class at Ithaca College, Tim and Jed taught the students how to use igneous rocks for rock-boiling. In the photo above, they're cooking in a pumpkin!The students are also carving their own bowdrill kits, as they learn about making friction fires.
Environmental Sentinels, now in its fourth year, was started by Tim Drake, Jed Jordan, and Jason Hamilton. It is a required course for Environmental Studies majors at Ithaca College.
Tim and Jed refer to it as "Primitive Pursuits for college students."
From 3-year-olds to college students and beyond - it's always a good time to put in some "dirt time."
