A three-day intensive course with Dr Theresa Emmerich Kamper and assisted by Caroline Ross. Learn to minimise waste and make the most of an animal. Due to the danger and energy expenditure involved with hunting, our ancestors would make sure to waste as little of an animal as possible. An animal represented a precious resource; food, clothing, containers, cordage, tools, lighting, among other things could all be derived from a single animal.
This course will introduce you to which parts of an animal are useful for different products, and how to preserve those parts until they can be used. We will cover all basic butchery for both food and utilitarian items, as well as those parts not often seen as useful.
