Jason Knight: Survival Skills for Herbalists


Listen Later

Whether you're an adventurous wildcrafter or an herbalist who always sticks to the trail, knowing key survival skills is an essential part of your herbal toolkit.

Jason Knight is the co-founder of Alderleaf Wilderness College, one of the leading outdoor schools in the United States offering training in wilderness survival to a broad range of clients, including the US Forest Service, REI, the Seattle Mountaineers, and the cast of the award-winning film, Captain Fantastic.

In our latest episode of HerbMentor Radio, we chat with Jason, who has been teaching wilderness survival skills since 1997.

I've been friends with Jason for over 25 years and have been meaning to interview him on the podcast to talk about survival skills for herbalists — and when I saw that he'd written a new book, The Essential Skills of Wilderness Survival: A Guide to Shelter, Water, Fire, Food, Navigation, and Survival Kits, I knew it was time to finally have him on HerbMentor Radio.

In this long awaited conversation, Jason shares...

  • The 4 essentials of wilderness survival, including how to build a shelter, find water, make fire, and get food
  • How to make a survival kit
  • 3 keys to easy navigation
  • Common mistakes most people make in emergencies
  • And so much more...
  • Learn more about Jason Knight and grab a copy of his book on WildernessCollege.com.
