Women’s Wilderness Weekend is a course directed towards women of all ages to encourage more female participation in the field of bushcraft and survival. This class is catered to students from all skill levels and no experience is required. Whether you are a proclaimed survivalist, a weekend bushcrafter, a homesteader, an ultralight hiker, or just a general every day woodswoman this class is designed to promote a sense of community through our shared love of nature.
What an amazing weekend! Went to the Women's Wilderness Weekend at Georgia Bushcraft LLC this past weekend, taught by the amazing Jacks Genega.Learned some new skills and made some new friends. If you can take a class with Jacks, do it!

This class was so much fun. Jacks is very patient and knowledgeable adding to the relaxed environment in class. There was so much encouragement and camaraderie I hated to see the class end. I’ll definitely be taking more classes with Jacks.

I’m no stranger to the outdoors, but I’ve recently leaned into the world of bushcraft because it scratches that itch in my brain for more knowledge about the world around us.This weekend I was lead by an amazing human being, Jacks” Genega! She took us under her wing and taught us survival skills and instilled in us that we can do hard things.To dig deep and believe in ourselves.It was a powerful moment for me when I created an ember from my bow drill.[...]We hugged each other tight when my nest ignited. I can do hard things. I can survive. 🔥
