The West

Eustace Conway
Preservationist

"Experiencing the structure of that integrity of moist fibers and example of traditional instruction from Mr. Rayfield left me that day with more than a feeling of joy; it gave me a foundational theme onto which I wove a lifetime of values and interests. Fulfillment was found not only in having the careful attention of a respected elder, but also in newfound empowerment by knowledge of how to go into the forest, stalk an appropriate oak and transform it into a serviceable basket."

Eustace Conway is a self-taught wilderness expert whom some have called a modern-day Davy Crockett. Now much of his time is spent teaching others self-reliance, independence and a respect for and knowledge of the land.
