We teach a range of both modern and primitive wilderness skills covering the priorities of survival that will provide you the ability to live and be rescued in the wilderness. We also provide skills to help you better prepare your home for natural or man-made disasters. We will teach you how to use everyday items in your home and vehicle that will increase your chances of survival should you find yourself in crisis.
All courses are taught in the New York area. There are no bathrooms, showers, electricity, or comforts of home. You will get a true feeling of being out in the wild while you practice your skills. We are close enough to town for you to pick up any last minute items before the course. There is cell phone coverage on the property incase you need to keep in touch with civilization. Directions to the property and a gear list will be emailed to you after registration.
All one day courses will start at 9am and end at 4pm. Multiple day classes will start at 9am on the first day, 8am on the following days, and end at 4 on the last.

Meet our cadre of instructors
Jeremy Brown
Mr. Brown (or, as we've all started calling him..."Wick") is so incredibly gifted at sharing his knowledge! His speed and accuracy with both rifle and pistol is a pretty dang high bar for us "civies" to strive for...but you will highly value the journey towards his level of perfection! And he's been known to bring some pretty damn sexy tools to his clinics...wicked fun!
Paul Taylor
Paul is just so damn talented...it's awesome! HIGHLY skilled with both pistol and rifle! But don't for a second, think his class will be a standard firing line style class. Before you know what happened, you'll be working on Team Movements and expected to keep those feeties moving...while doing transitions from pistol to rifle and back again. You WILL end the day exhausted...and happy as hell!
Chuck Simpson
Chuck is our trusted Long Range Rifle and High Threat Protection expert. Think you're safe at 1200+ yards? Nope, nope, nope. He's probably got ya in his sights watching you eat your sammich!
Mr. White
Our resident "ghost" instructor...the man of mystery. Mysterious he may be...but wicked skilled at surviving...no matter if it's urban or rural / desert or woodlands / brutal heat or sub-zero. Keep your eye on him though...because if you turn away, he'll disappear into the background!

Wilderness Survival Clinic (9/23/2016)
Friday Mr White and Magellan kept us busy in nature’s classroom, giving us a concise and thorough crash course in wilderness survival, and evasion. The experience and knowledge of the instructors was enthralling, and filled a significant number of pages in my notebook with pure gold. We covered shelter, all the way from clothing (Wick, Warmth, Weather,) to primitive, and man made shelters for any season (BLISS: Blend, Low Profile, Irregular Silhouette, Secure, Small (and secluded). It was clear from the beginning that these guys really knew their stuff, because their lessons were filled with useful tips and ‘hacks’ they’d learned over time. We learned how to identify insects that are safe to eat, and how to prepare them. We discussed water, fire, and the mental processes of survival in serious depth. We learned trapping, foraging, and herbalism. Last but not least we got a thorough run-down on survival kits.
ZERT training events never fail to amaze! My trip from Maine would have been worthwhile for this class alone. Many thanks to both Mr. White, and Tim MacWelch.
