About Us

BainOutdoors offers workshops supporting your personal pursuit of outdoor readiness. Outdoor Readiness Workshops provide opportunities for you to learn and practice basic outdoor skills for exploring, playing and working in the wild outdoors. We get nature on you!

We are currently developing a workshop venue on wild Drummond Island, MI. Our palette of seasonal workshops in preparation will offer hands-on camping, woodlore and ecotourism opportunities. Outdoor Readiness Workshops are unique. We integrate modern technologies with historical technologies and primitive technologies for uncommon depth of understanding.

Workshops topics include fire-making, campcraft, woodlore, woodcraft-bushcraft, meal planning & outdoor cooking–cast iron through ultralight approaches, wilderness survival priorities and survival methods, wilderness living skills, snowcraft, direction-finding by day and by night, foot travel, backpacking, tree & plant identification and uses, animal identification by sight and sign, observation skills, tracking, reducing outdoor impacts, gear selections for light and not so light camping and backpacking, weather, geology, and more…

We look forward to offering workshops on “The Rock” in the near future.
