Clean Water Happy Hour | April 2024 @ Overflow Taps
Apr 27 @ 1:00 pm

You’re invited to our Clean Water Happy Hour at Overflow Taps in Barkley, and your first drink’s on us!

The event benefits charity: water, a non-profit organization that has funded and coordinated over 91,000 water projects in 29 countries.

From 1-2:30PM (up until the giveaways), we’re paying for your first drink at the Barkley Village Overflow Taps.

We also do a lineup of giveaways each month, sponsored by local businesses – restaurant gift cards, local merch, coffee cards – you never know what you might walk away with!

This is a casual social event, so invite your friends and bring a board game if you like!

Contact our Event Coordinator at bham@bhamre.co with any questions.

We can’t wait to see you!

This course will take place on Northwest Natura’s private forest land in Whatcom County off Highway 542 near Maple Falls, WA. Driving directions and details on what to bring with you will be provided in an email as the event date approaches.

Bushcraft is a term used to describe the practice of skills which aid in living outdoors. Here are the skills we will cover in this crash course:

Survival Basics focused on Shelter

Shelter – survival shelter construction

Fire making without a lighter

Knot-tying and lashing basics.

Tools of the trade and practice using them.

Knife and ax skills

We will practice all of these skills together in this full-day course. Knives and ferro rods provided for the day.

You are encouraged to bring your own outdoor tools such as a knife, ax, fire starter, tarp, containers (pots, water bottles), paracord, first aid kit, etc. so you can practice with your kit. I can answer any questions about your gear and help you troubleshoot issues you may have with them.

Space is limited to 10.
