My name is Harmony Cronin.

I’m an apocalyptic Viking warrior princess who likes living off grid in extreme environments, a MadMax cavewoman wild tending big game hunter, a braintanning butcher biker babe, a roadkill connoisseur homesteader with your great grandma’s passion for food preservation.

I worked for years as a professional skinner and helped run a mobile slaughter for a specialty butcher shop in Montana, skinning over 500 animal a year, (deer, elk, antelope, moose, bison, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, etc)  I utilize hides, heads, brains, fat, legs, bones, sinew, and other discarded parts of the animal to craft clothing, bags, tools, shelters, and jewelry.  

I’m also a founding member of the Buffalo Bridge Project, an annual camp dedicated to being in service to Indigenous buffalo hunters outside of Yellowstone, Montana.

Now I run a folk school called GATHERING WAYS, teaching private and group workshops on both the Magickal and practical methods of extended animal processing, traditional tanning, foraging wild food, bioregional ecology, friction fire, medicine making, fermentation of all kinds, and how to be comfortable (and stylish) living outdoors.
