TIME - 10am - 6pm

WHAT TO EXPECT - Meet up in the boreal at our prospector tent basecamp. Grab a foraged tea and go on a morning foraging walk to learn a few new species and gather some flavours for the guest chef back at basecamp. While we’re in the field we’ll cover spike camp cookery with light daypack gear, then head back to get some pointers from the chef while they’re working on your mid day feast in the woods over fire. You’ll dine in the forest with other like minded folks, the menu built around the flavours of the Canadian wilderness. Your afternon is spent learning about wild mixology and drink pairing, and wild foraged pantry building. We wrap the day sitting around a fire for some Q&A and to soak in the forest. Be prepared to do some walking through the bush, learn a lot, smell like smoke, eat and drink new flavours, make new friends, and feel amazing.

NOTE - our basecamp location is actually in a large forest, and we will be doing a fair bit of hiking through the bush in very undulating terrain. If you have concerns or questions about your ability to participate, please do contact us prior to buying a spot.

CANCELLATION POLICY - we'll happily offer a full refund if you really need to cancel up to two weeks in advance. Under two weeks, and we cannot provide a refund but can offer for you to join us at a future similar event.

Full details provided by email prior to the event.

WHAT TO WEAR - We'll be outdoors the whole time, so check the weather forecast and dress appropriately. Even in warm weather long sleeves and pants are highly recommended for rose bushes and mosquitos. Wool is your friend when the weather gets chilly.

RAIN PLAN - Event runs rain or shine. We can wait out some rain in the prospector tent if need be, and we'll have wood in the stove to keep you toasty.

LOCATION - From The Wild Basecamp, ~100km due north of Edmonton. Map and directions provided once signed up.
