He successfully transferred his nature-based skills to this field and, in recent years, has closely specialized in building with wood and stone. Working by hand and using only primitive tools, he built the educational tourism camp Forest Yurt (\u0160umska Jurta).   <\/span><\/p><p class=\"zfr3Q CDt4Ke \" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"C9DxTc \">In addition to working with and using wood and stone in construction, Jovan also makes wooden canoes, bows and arrows, forges iron, sews leather items, and crafts cookware and other objects from wood, among many other skills. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"zfr3Q CDt4Ke \" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"C9DxTc \">For years, he studied primitive methods of hunting and is well versed in both the making and use of primitive weapons and traps.
