3. Essential Camping Skills

Matt Stephens
Matt Stephens Stephens Family Farm

Matt Stephens takes audiences on a journey from the farm into the backcountry in this workshop. A homesteader’s way of life is all about developing skills, and adapting them to different situations can keep us alive. You might secure a tarp to cover the last of the winter’s hay and then secure that same tarp to cover yourself overnight when your goats decide to take a vacation. What do you do when you run out of matches? Strike a fire! Matt Stephens leads this adventure that takes skills from the home into the forest.

Here is a list of what you will find in the workshop below:

  • A 38-minute video by Matt Stephens.
  • A PDF “handout” of the materials you will need to get started.
