Keeping ourselves safe in the great outdoors is easy once you know a few important techniques. What’s inside a survival bag? Camping without a tent is not so bad when you know how.
Raised in New Jersey, Mike Dennis is an avid outdoorsman, student of history and specialist of experimental archaeology. Having also lived in Texas, New Mexico, Montana, and Oregon, he has had the opportunity to study numerous indigenous cultures and how they thrived in different parts of the country.
In 1998, Mike was fortunate to meet and work for Mr. J. Kraft, then curator of then famous Waterloo Village. That year Mike spent months rebuilding numerous life sized wigwams on the property, as well as many months of working side by side with Mr. Kraft on rebuilding many displays, and learning the role of living history presentation. He was also responsible for running hundreds of presentations over 10 years at a NJ County Parks agency dealing with every aspect of the Lenape people. Since that time, he has constructed an additional 16 life sized wigwams thru out New Jersey, and built a 1700’s Algonquin style birch bark canoe by hand.
After returning from Oregon in 2006, Traditional Earth Skills LLC began providing Lenape education presentations along with many related wilderness skills to NJ/Pa. schools, scouting organizations and camps. To date, he has run over 600 presentations and workshops and has worked with over 30,000 students.
Traditional Earth Skills was recently recognized with the 2017 NJRPA award for THE LENAPE LIVING HISTORY PROGRAM FOR EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATIONAL AND INTERPRETIVE PROGRAMMING.
