Day 1: Beat your fear of wilder-
ness camping and hiking alone
Do you love nature and the beauty
of wild places, but keep waking up
at every sound at night when you
are camping? Are you uncomfor-
table heading out into the woods
alone? Does fear of wild animals,
getting lost or injured keep you
from really enjoying hiking and
camping trips?
This is very common and there are
ways you can overcome your fear.
Every woman has it in her to feel
comfortable in the woods!

Day 2: You can do it!
Intro to house building
It is a lot of work, but any woman
can build her own house! You
mostly need determination and
time. Learn about two easy, low-
cost building methods: piece-en-
piece (a log building method) and
stackwall (short logs in masonry).
Both methods require no previous
building experience, few tools, you
can do it all by yourself and without
electricity, and you can even build
multi-sided or round! The female
instructor has built cabins with both
methods and can give you an
unbiased review.
