EatWild Workshops

Not sure if hunting is for you?

New and experienced hunters alike will enjoy getting together to discuss, prepare and dine on ethically harvested game meat. If you don’t know if you are ready to take the next step, why not join us for an enjoyable evening and see what EatWild is all about.

Hide Tanning Workshop

EatWild is excited to offer a new workshop on hide tanning, an essential complement to the hunting skillset.

Join us for three days of guided facilitation on the classical method of smoke-tanning (brain-tanning), the world’s oldest and most prolific hide tanning technique. Every participant works with their own deer skin provided by the course, and takes home a self-made smoked buckskin at the end.

Hunter Field Skills Workshop

EatWild invites you to participate in a three-day field skills development workshop at the Singing Lands Ranch in the heart of BC’s grassland country. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice the field skills needed to become confident and successful hunters. The Singing Lands Ranch offers an amazing place to learn about wildlife and the habitat that they live in. Participants will build a hunting camp, learn to get around in wilderness, and sneak up on wildlife. Meals will feature wild meat cooked by our instructor, Dylan Eyers.

“The Eatwild Hunter Training Skills workshop with Dylan was an invaluable learning experience which has given me the practical skills and confidence to begin hunting for my own food. I would recommend it to everyone who is interested in taking their food into their own hands.”

“EatWild provided me with increased confidence and skills in both being an outdoorswoman and potentially hunting my own food. The facilitation, setting, food and company was amazing, the weekend couldn’t have gone better.”

Backpack Hunter Field Skills Workshop

Eatwild is excited to offer the Backpack Hunter Field Skills Workshop for those hunters who are ready to take on an alpine hunting adventure.

One of the most rewarding and successful ways to hunt is to get up into the alpine and stay there until you spot game. It’s an amazing adventure to climb a mountain and set up camp in the alpine where you can see for miles. Nothing is quite as relaxing as laying around in alpine meadows with your binoculars and spotting scope; watching the hills around for some critters to show up. When you spot an animal the excitement begins, and the stalk is on.

Most of my hunting and fishing partners are women. Most of my hunting and fishing partners are women. This shouldn’t be weird but it is for some people. From these experiences, I have learned that women deal with a pile bullshit on their journeys to be SEEN as a hunter or a fisher.  With work, I am optimistic that more people will see:
• @nolasemczyszyn as the fisher who is my “go-to” for local knowledge for fishing
• @jennyp403 as the hunter who shared her knowledge, secret spot and mentored me on my first bear hunt
• Jody @wildnorthernway for sharing her expertise with me about how to take care of moose meat in the field
• @xenathewarriorprincesswastaken as the captain of her boat that won the fishing derby
• or see successful hunters in front of a meat pole and not find that a confusing picture. 
• I could go on... and I want to hear your stories. We have lots more work to do in the community of hunters and fishers. EatWild is committed to building an inclusive and supportive place for women to learn to hunt, fish, and gather wild food.

The prawn population is cyclical. Hopefully we will enjoy a few more good pulls, cause Miki may have to brace for 15 years of disappointing sets after this start to the prawn season! Thanks @pacificnetandtwine and @fishinglurelife for the new prawn kit! #pacificspotprawns #spotprawns #eatwild #eatwhatyoucatch #fishingbc
Sandra Riches is the Executive Director of the BC Sandra Riches is the Executive Director of the BC AdventureSmart program and she joins me on the podcast to talk about how search and rescue works in BC, using the AdventureSmart App to leave a trip plan, and the essential gear to make hunting and foraging adventures safer.  There's lots of good info in this podcast to stay safe on your next adventure. 

Everything is "unprecedented" this past year, including the number of search and rescue calls for people on outdoor adventurers.  More people than ever are getting out into our wilderness to take refuge from the challenges that have come with the pandemic.  AdventureSmart and Sandra Riches are working to reach folks to help them get prepared for their outdoor adventures so their trip doesn’t result in another call to 911.

Black cod and chopped scallop rolls for Sunday din Black cod and chopped scallop rolls for Sunday dinner.  I did not catch either, but I am truly appreciating the novelty. @varda_the_safety_bear and I have embarked on a black cod finding mission. I am inspired after that dinner. Also curios about diving for scallops. #eatwild #blackcod
An old saying goes...there’s more than one way t An old saying goes...there’s more than one way to skin a moose. I’ll show you a few ways at our EatWild Butchering and Meat Care Webinar on February 23rd at 7 pm pst. 

This is an old photo of my late father Bud showing me how to skin and break up a moose into quarters. We were lucky to shoot this moose on the lake shore and we were able to float him back to camp where there was a bobcat for hire.  My dad was insistent that we bring these moose quarters to the butcher without a hair or a speck of dirt on  them. A carefully planned process will ensure that the meat stays clean from beginning to end. I was so fortunate to have a father who always placed the utmost importance on meat care the field. I’ll share what I have learned over a lifetime of taking care of meat from the field to the table.  @ulliekrack #eatwild #moosehunting #wildmeat #meateater #huntbc #huntingbc #sumasmeats
Part 3 of The Pole Bender Adventure We survived 3 Part 3 of The Pole Bender Adventure

We survived 3 days of the storm and then another 5 days of being stuck in the tent waiting for the skies to clear.  So that's about 192 hours with 4 guys sharing 36 square feet of real estate.  We pulled it off and we are all still friends. Catch up with our crew as we debrief the Pole Bender Adventure. We reflect back on the decisions and the gear that kept us safe. Also, we share another near-disaster story as we make the flight out of the mountains.  Lots of good info in this podcast if you are planning an adventure hunt this year. 

Thanks for listening!

About EatWild

We are a young, Vancouver-based company, so we understand the negative stereotypes which have long been paired with hunting. Over-sized pickup trucks? Road signs with bullet holes? Hick shooting jokes? We’ve heard them all. EatWild wants to be part of something new...
