Student Testimonials:

I recently spent a weekend in the woods learning wilderness skills from White Wolf and I can actually remember what he taught me without the need to reference notes and books. We learned how to make fire using  flint, found water sources, built a debris shelter and many more wilderness skills. These are only a very few of the major highlights, but the most important thing that I learned  from White Wolf is how  to feel  relaxed and more at home in the woods. It was peaceful to learn from him. He has an amazing amount of knowledge and presents it in a way that is easeful and comprehensive. White Wolf generously shares his wisdom, and that generosity of spirit is inspirational.

I just got back from a basic class and it was awesome. I highly recommend this school. I have had other out survival training and this school surpasses them all. The instructor has a very patient and nurturing approach. While I am not there yet, living entirely in the wild is very doable. This instructor knows it all, shelter, food, fire starting, mind set, medicinals, …….
