Maine Primitive https://linktr.ee/maineprimitive Founded by Naked and Afraid survivor Michael Douglas, Maine Primitive teaches ancestral skills, survival, and Earth Living.

We globally help people reconnect to land, instinct, and community through hands-on experience. The Maine Primitive Skills School is a wilderness survival school located on 23 wooded acres in Augusta, Maine. Our goal is to reconnect people to ancient technologies and to themselves. We teach primitive skills, survival skills, wilderness survival, modern survival, bushcraft, native awareness, wildlife tracking, earth living, shelter building, water collection & purification, friction fire making, bow making, flintknapping, wild edibles, hide tanning, scout skills, primitive hunting, earth philosophy, drum making, survival trapping, and more. We are a group dedicated to reconnecting ourselves and others to our ancestral roots through skills that have been practiced for two million years. Primitive skills connect us to what is meaningful and real and dispel the illusions created by modern society. Through our odyssey we have become a teaching community that continues to grow and celebrate new members each time we gather for a class. Wilderness Survival and Earth skills may be what we teach, but they really teach us how to be a family once again. We invite you to become part of our tribe by walking through our door. Be warned: these primitive skills will change you. You will not see the world in the same way nor will you be able to return to the place from whence you came. We welcome you to our Survival School.

Survival 2: Earth Living
November 28 – December 2, 2026

Four weeks out, conditions often become unpredictable. Freeze-thaw cycles, short daylight, and cold rain require sharper awareness and stronger skills. This course teaches you how to build and maintain systems that endure those shifts.

Tangible Skills You Will Develop
• Reinforcing shelters for early-winter storms
• Fire ignition and maintenance in freezing moisture
• Gathering and purifying water safely in cold or icy conditions
• Wild food strategies when availability narrows
• Night-through firecraft and ember protection
• Managing exposure during rapid temperature changes
• Setting up long-term camp routines for warmth and stability
• Reading seasonal pressure, wildlife movement, and land response

If you want practical capability in demanding weather, this training gives you the tools.

While kneeled down among the forest ferns, we’re surrounded by living history. Horsetails also known as scouring rush were giant tree-sized plants during the prehistoric era

Thanks to the silica packed inside their stems, outdoor enthusiasts and homesteaders still use them today as natural abrasive sponges for camp kitchen cleanup!
