Ozark Natural Science Center in rural Madison County offers seasonal day-long courses in primitive skills. Participants learn to make fire, forage for edible plants, and construct shelters. We visit the remote wilderness center where Instructor Eric Fuselier demonstrates ancient firemaking techniques and discusses the rationale for teaching primitive skills.
