Our Mission

"Sometimes in nature, like in life, you get dealt a bad hand. But by learning critical survival skills and leaning into curiosities, one can become a wildcard and discover the unexpected within. My goal is to create a sense of resilience through self-reliance.  Skills in fire, navigation, bushcraft, and plant medicine all have the power to change people's perceptions of what they are truly capable of. By learning how to not just protect yourself from Mother Nature, but to work with Mother Nature, one can build confidence that will affect your everyday life. Various modern or primitive wilderness skills can provide a sense of belonging and place compared to our struggle to constantly fit in. If we don't develop these skills and share them with others and future generations, then we will lose more than what we are, but we will lose who we are."
