   try:
   - outward bound for a course.
   - the army reserves of your country (assume u.s.) for real boot camp and skills
   - green or sustainable design/build courses. lots in oregon and vermont, and b.c. in canada. google it or see if your local college has resources (you may have green architects within reach)
   - piecemeal mechanics and first aid courses; check your local schoolboards.

   find local people with the skills you admire and ask if you can volunteer.

   good hunting, great idea, and good luck.

   Probably the best way to learn is to offer to help someone to do something in exchange for them teaching you how.

   For example, if you have a friend, neighbor or relative that fixes their own car or does their own repairs around the house, let them know that you are interesting in learning and ask if you can help next time they plan on working on something.

   If you know someone who hunts or goes to the shooting range, ask if you can come along or if they could show you how. Most state game department offer low cost hunter education classes.

   The Red Cross teaches first aid and CPR classes.

   Look in your local newspaper for announcements about low cost or free classes offered to learn about the outdoors – how to identify edible plants, vegetable gardening classes, how to raise chickens, beekeeping, etc.

   Also, if you’re dad is still alive, it’s never too late to contact him and let him know that you recognize how much knowledge he has! Let him know that you would like to spend more time with him and would appreciate it if he could share what he knows with you.
