JOCHEN SCHWEIZER SURVIVAL CAMP

For a week we rolled around in the mud, caught fish in lakes and (almost) ate worms on this photoproduction for Jochen Schweizer. We rigged ropes across rivers or waded through them, learned how to make fires like scouts, and how to build our own emergency shelter before it gets dark.

If I didn’t know how to do it already, it’s a great way to find your outdoor feet.
