thanks gabe :]

FRMs?

you can build them as small or large as you'd like. it could be a small one big enough for only a few people. the lodges i've been in have been large enough to accomodate 75ish people. i'm not entirely sure where i'm going to make one.. somewhere on flat , open ground. a few friends of mine are...

haha jumping in a stream is optional :] the lodge is not built around the fire, the fire is outside of the lodge. the rocks are brought in from the fire into the lodge. the sweat lodge's armiture is dome shaped and made of saplings. tons of blankets and tarps cover the armiture to keep the heat...

if you use mullien more than you should, you become allergic to it. it's the plant's way of saying back off.. once you develop the allergy, it doesn't go away.. so use sparingly! yvonne we learned that from mike last night ^_^

i'm so glad it's finally getting cold! the 80 degrees in october was freaking me out. i hear we are in for another freakishly warm winter, though. lame.. i'm going camping this winter, and i hope it's cold, because it wouldn't be nearly as badass otherwise :]

this is awful.. who's down for a cleanup?

oh he's just marevlous, i want to cuddle him up ^_^

these are wonderful photos. the sky and color contrast in the first photo are amazing. the fawns and Rhexia virginica are my favorites. very artistic.

best way i could think of to spend a lunch break! that poor duck.. nice photos!

these are beautiful photos. this looked like a fantastic trip, so many gorgeous colors, and even a white tail sighting!

That sounds like a wonderful program. And yes, traditionally it is preferred to have materials which are close to the area where the lodge is built and conducted, especially the grandfathers. Personally I do believe that bringing in rocks from a different location could work out alright, maybe...

Bruset, I misunderstood you. I do not think that bringing water is the greatest survival skill. I do agree that lack of water is one of the greatest problems you may encounter. As long as you know how to utilize nature well, you can produce water for yourself in many ways, such as building a...

I agree bruset.. bringing water is no where near the best survival skill for the Pine Barrens. This is not a notion that TBJ preaches. A Sweat Lodge is a dome-like structure that was used by many cultures, especially Native Americans. It's armiture is made of saplings woven and tied together...

that is downright awful.. have you heard back from the nj division of fish and wildlife?

Tom Brown Jr.. what a man. I have read many of his books and am scheduled to attend my first Standard Course at Tracker School this Spring. I know that he has a Sweat Lodge course, but you must first take a Philosophy course as a prerequisite. Not to mention each class is around $900! Yow...

Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone knows of any Sweat Lodge groups in the NJ Pinelands. I've been searching but have been unsuccessful in finding anything. Even if there are no groups to be found, lets make one! Anyone who is a fan of Sweat Lodges or would like to learn more about them...
