Are you ready to stop watching… and start DOING? Come to the biggest hands-on homesteading event in America! 

The Heritage Skills USA Homestead & Survival Summit 2026 is returning to the stunning Hocking Hills region of Ohio, and this is NOT your typical sit-in-a-chair-and-listen event.  

Prepare for 3 full days of hands-on homesteading experiences, where you’ll roll up your sleeves and get dirt under your fingernails while learning. Perfect for homeschooling families!

We’re featuring over 25 daily interactive classes and demonstrations in:  

🌾 Homesteading

🌲 Bushcraft  

🌿 Herbalism  

🍄 Foraging  

⚒ Blacksmithing  

🥩 Butchering  

🏕 Wilderness Skills  

…and much more.

This is where families build real self-reliance skills together. It's a place where confidence grows, friendships are formed, and lifelong memories are created.  

If you’re searching for an expensive conference where you quietly sit in rows of chairs listening to speakers all weekend, Heritage Skills USA is not for you.  

But if you want:  

✔ Affordable, family-friendly admission  

✔ Real hands-on instruction  

✔ Practical skills you can take home and use  

✔ A community of like-minded homesteaders and freedom-loving families  

✔ The largest hands-on homesteading event in the Midwest  

Then you belong with us in Hocking Hills this May.  

Come prepared to work.  

Come prepared to learn.  

Come ready to boost your self-reliance skills in a powerful way.
