WHAT TO EXPECT:
We will spend the day outside under covered structures regardless of the weather. When you leave your car, please bring all the food and gear you need to be out the entire day. Be prepared to dress in layers so that you can adjust easily (see attached gear list).
We strive to balance theory with hands-on practice in a safe learning environment. We ask you to turn off your electronic devices in class and to only access it for essential needs.
FACILITIES:
Our Linne Doran campus includes Cedar Lodge, our indoor classroom and meeting space, as well as several outdoor classrooms. There are porta-potties on the property (can sometimes be a long walk depending on where you are on the land), or you can “nature pee”. Linne Doran has limited cell reception and no internet access.
FOOD:
Food is not provided for this course. Please bring a lunch and snack food for each day.
WHAT TO PACK:
Please bring the following items. This list is designed with your comfort and safety in mind and takes into account the variable weather possibilities during winter in Western Washington.
- 1-2 liters of water
- Pocket knife. We will be selling Mushroom Knives in class, which you can also purchase on my website mushroaming.com ahead of time, or you can bring your own knife.
- Notebook and pen/pencil
- Daypack (to carry lunch, water, notebook, and extra layers)
- Please feel free to bring a blanket or a Crazy Creek style chair to increase your comfort during sessions when we are sitting together. Otherwise, wooden benches and stumps will be provided.
