Where did it all begin?
Avnei-Derech (Milestones) is a part of a global movement of primitive skills gatherings.
It all began in the U.S.A more than 30 years ago by David Wescott (Backtracks) in a pair of events called: Rabbitstick and Wintercount.
Over the years the movement grew and there are many similar gatherings taking place in the United States, here are some of our favorites:
Acorn - March CA.
Buckeye - May CA.
Saskatoon - September WA.
Between the rivers - May WA.
Sharpening stone - May OR.
Earthnack - June CO.
Echoes in time - July OR
Elements - August CA
All these gatherings are based on the model created by Backtracks, including Avneu-derech. We feel very privileged and grateful to walk this path.
