TESTIMONIALS
"I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful class…I love the fact that I can now start my own fire, make my own cordage and be more aware of what it takes to survive in the wilderness. I can't wait to put some of my newfound skills to use." - B.
"The tracking class was a real eye-opener for us. We had always gone out hiking with the hope of seeing wildlife. Finding tracks was the consolation prize. Now we are delighted to see tracks or signs - we look for them everywhere." - M.

"Keep up the good work. Several employees of my company have attended your classes in tracking, and they have been very beneficial. We are now performing a study for a land trust that wishes to create a corridor…involving monitoring of animal tracks at five different underpasses…The skills and training from your courses are invaluable for this study." - L.
"Thanks for the awesome experience of being in the survival skills training. I really enjoyed the challenge of the debris shelter, making fire, connecting with my plant relations and the hand worked spoon! On a deeper level, I was reminded of how precious people I work with are - thank you for that! You are awesome!" - A.
