Portland, Oregon Stalking, Movement and Camouflage
Modern camouflage clothing is good for those who want to view deer from a distance. Primitive, natural camo is for those that want to stalk up to, and touch one. As a modern society we have moved a way from the pure forms of movement that our ancestors perfected over countless generations. If we want to truly move with the ebb and flow of the wild places we need utilize the movement methods of our forbearers. -Tom Brown III
The Rangers Guild of TrackersNW is proud to host Tom Brown III in a class that explores the art of stalking, movement and camouflage.
This workshop helps students capture the pure movement utilized by our hunter-gatherer ancestors as they lived and thrived in the natural world. We explore how to match our movements to many different scenarios, whether stalking an animal to harvest with a throwing stick or simply wandering through the forest. Students also learn how stalking and movement relate to awareness. They develop the understanding to apply these principles into all aspects of their lives.
We also explore the concepts of natural camouflage, whether applied directly on to the skin or on clothing. It is an art form superior to any purchased or commercial camouflage clothing. You can quickly create patterns that are specific to your area and bioregon, allowing you to blend in whereever you might be.
When stalking and camouflage are combined effectively, you can literally become invisible in the woods. This allows you to get closer to nature, and be a more effective hunter-gatherer for your village.
This class is taught by Tom Brown III of the Primitive Arts Collective.

Your Instructor
Tom, otherwise known as “T3”, has been a practitioner and teacher of primitive technology, tracking and nature observation since he has been able to walk. Trained from birth by his father, Tom Brown Jr., Tom is considered to be one of the foremost instructors of primitive technology and primitive wilderness survival on the planet. For several years he spent time wandering the United States practicing the arts of primitive living throughout many different wilderness areas.
Upon returning to his father's famous survival school in 2003 he educated thousands of students from all over the world until his leaving the school in late 2009. Tommy has now combined his naturalist and life experiences by starting his own school in Cincinnati, Ohio know as the Primitive Arts Collective, while also traveling abroad, to continue educating people in the ways of our ancestors and passing down the skills that were at the forefront of their lives.
Always approaching life with an empty cup and learning anything new is one of his true passions in life. Tom believes that everyone is his teacher and approaches new situations with the utmost enthusiasm and passion - never taking anything for granted. His close friends say that he is not happy just living life, he must immerse himself in it. Along with primitive survival skills and nature observation, Tommy is also an avid Fly-fisherman and Hunter, and is an accomplished archer and marksman and expert at throwing weapons. He is also a talented photographer, capturing nature from his own unique perspective. Tommy’s motto in life... “If you love life, It will love you back!!”
