Used all over the world for everything from building houses to weaving fabric to feeding livestock, bamboo is one of the most versatile plants we have. For bushcraft and survival, it’s one of the closest things to a “hack” there is. Tasks and projects that normally take a great deal of time and skill can be conveniently made at warp speed with bamboo. Much like other outdoor staples such as paracord, duct tape, and the shemagh, bamboo’s uses are limited only by your own creativity. 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this half-day class:
