This primitive surviving project is an Experimental-archaeology revival of Stone-Age daily life from the wilderness. It intends to be a scientific reconstitution of Stone-Age daily life. We believe that archaeological alive reconstitutions are one of the strongest medium to perform the teaching of historical sciences. This project includes the interesting perspective of testing in real conditions the hypotheses made by archaeologists about prehistoric life and crafts. The volunteers will receive information on Stone-Age technologies, crafts and food harvesting, which means that they will collect some of their own food with their self-made tools. Kierikki Stone Age Centre (www.kierikki.fi) is the base-camp for the group of volunteers. There will be many nomadic-fishing-camps set in a wide area going from Yli-Ii until the east border of Finland. The camps will have the same basic idea but taking the seasonal facts in consideration. One branch of the project is to support the promotion of the richness of the Finnish forests, the knowledge of the edible flora and fauna, and the idea that men can find their place in the wilderness as a sustainable part of the forest. The aim of the project is to offer the possibility for volunteers to learn, experience and perform in the Finnish wild woods: lake ancestral fishing techniques, surviving basic skills, handcrafting from natural surrounding materials, initiations to stone-age primitive technologies, group life solidarity and teamwork in very simple conditions, nomadic ancient rhythmic of living. Location: Nearest train station is Oulu (600 km from Helsinki). From Oulu there are buses on weekdays to Yli-Ii (50 km).
Special requirements:
Participants must be in good health, have a valid travel insurance and be ready to very basic conditions like sleeping outdoors, motivation letter needed. There is an extra fee of 100 euros.
PLEASE NOTE ! There will be many nomadic-fishing-camps, the first camp will start in October and there will be many camps until spring with the same concept but taking the various seasons in consideration.
Special requirements for winter camps:
These are the average minimum (the real minimum can be much colder) temperatures for each month: October: +1*C November: -4*C December: -11*C January: -12*C February: -14*C March: -8*C April: -3*C. The volunteers should arrive with appropriate equipment (winter clothing, backpacks, sleeping bags) and having checked carefully the webpage of the project http://sites.google.com/site/primitivesurvivingprojectweb
Accomodation and food:
Accommodation will be inside reconstituted stone age-houses, as well as, in hiking refuges, kotas and even igloos in winter! Comfort will be very basic (water from lakes and rivers, cooking on fire). Food will be partly fished and collected from nature, partly bought. The volunteers should arrive with appropriate equipment (winter clothing, backpacks, sleeping bags) and having checked carefully the webpage of the project http://sites.google.com/site/primitivesurvivingprojectweb

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
