TESTIMONIALS
""I wanted to once again thank you for such an amazing and eye-opening class. This was one of the best investments I could've made to my future as an outdoor recreation guide and just as a fellow human being."
PAUL
"I just finished the "knife only" wilderness survival course. Thanks to Jon Helleson's patience and expertise, the experience was incredible. Every learning module (shelter, fire, water, foraging, hunting etc.) was jam packed with information and hands-on training."
DERRICK
