WildernesSurvivalSkills

About

My name is Bill and this is a little about how I got involved in teaching survival skills. Because I am a christian, at times there will be a christian flavor or aspect to what I say.

Twenty-seven years ago, I saw many people headed off to some wilderness area completely lacking in the skills needed to safely go into those areas and then safely return home. Some of them suffered injuries, some died, and some were never seen again. Most of them went with the same goal in mind, they were going to have fun. The majority of them did just that, but some of them only had a tragedy. Today, twenty-seven years later the fun is still ending as a  tragedy, for some.  I began  to learn survival skills and to improve the few skills that I already had. I set a personal goal to learn all I could about survival and nature, then to share that knowledge with other people. I learned that what you don’t know can kill you, but with some effort, you can learn the skills and gain the knowledge to go into the wilderness and enjoy nature safely, then return home to share your adventure.

This is why I teach the classes that I offer. This is why I have expanded to a  blog. I teach classes on nature, wilderness and urban survival and disaster preparedness. My classes will take you through different skill levels. I will touch on some things in this blog, but by its very nature, it will not be as thorough. My goal is to share my knowledge and skills by teaching, as I have done for the past 20 years. Maybe what you learn will someday save someone’s life and prevent a tragedy. If you have a desire to learn these skills, contact me for further information.
