Wintercount is an annual primitive living skills conference that takes place over one week. The gathering occurs outside of Phoenix, AZ and people arrive from all over the globe for the opportunity to take in a vast amount of information regarding the skills that are of interest to them, as well as teach some themselves.
Winter Count is organized by the Backtracks organization and hosts an expansive group of instructors that have acquired the knowledge they impart over many decades in some cases. Indeed, some of these folks have been the persons "behind the scenes" that instruct the television "experts" in the very skills they showcase for dramatic effect. Classes at Winter Count encompass almost any aspect of wilderness living skills that one could hope for as well as skills that utilize technology that is a bit more recent. A student can work on flintknapping , braintanning deer hides and move on to weave a basket all in the same day. Mind you, it is a week long event that provides camping and two volunteer prepared meals per day. This is all included in the tuition cost. There are even vegan and vegetarian options in regards to dining.
Phoxx is attending Winter Count to learn to construct the gear that he will be taking with him on the expedition. This will also provide him an opportunity to gather materials and to deepen his knowledge of the skills by which he will be living whilst, acquiring new facets as well. Phoxx also hopes that his attending the event will help him gain more diverse exposure and interest in the expedition. Indeed he hopes to get as many chances to pick brains and take in information that will help him become stronger.
Phoxx hopes you will come out and take part in the event. He will be there to represent the expedition and will be there for anyone that has a desire to get involved.
