2024 Class Schedule!

They say that faith is the most powerful force in the world. That is why I am still here at 8:15 on a Friday night, frantically putting the final touches on this blog post. It's exhilarating for me as I am announcing my three new. Long-term online classes, the massive price cut to my webinars that I made after I realized compared to others. I was charging a bit high for some of the other things I'm too.

As we step into 2024, it’s a moment to reflect on the journey that has brought us here. Looking back, I am overwhelmed by the growth I see within myself. The wisdom gained from listening to my elders and successful friends has been immeasurable. I can confidently proclaim that I am 100,000,000% wiser than I was on this day last year.
As a photographer, I have the unique ability to revisit the past through my work. This allows me to meditate on the lessons learned, the mistakes made, and the invaluable connections forged. The willingness of new friends to share their knowledge and insights has been a blessing, and I am deeply grateful for their guidance.

The journey of self-improvement and professional growth has been challenging. There were moments when the weight of it all seemed impossible. Yet, I stand here today with unwavering confidence in my ability to see my vision come to life.
2024 marks a new chapter where this wealth of knowledge and experiences will be implemented. It's a year to honor the past's teachings and fearlessly pursue the aspirations cultivated through reflection and resilience. As I work, sometimes I do an archaeological dig of my past. I realized how what can seem like an insignificant choice at the time can alter your life forever.

Let us be the change that we want to see in the world. Even if we wake up and feel like the world is crushing us, We still have the choice. We can get out of bed, suit up, and put a smile on our face, and be grateful to be alive and blessed with every new day

I could research this, but I'm not going to. I once heard a quote that stuck with me, supposedly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, who said, “Most people are as happy as they choose to be.” Combining that with positive manifestation, a heaping teaspoon of faith, 700 cups of hard work, and hopefully a little help from the universe. “if you build it, they will come.”

Im also Excited about the three new Multi-session Online classes!

5-Session Bone tool Making ONLINE Class

$250.00

Because my dog passed away, I am adding a sixth session so more folks can sign up. We did one session, but it was short. If you register, I will give you the link to the Google Drive!

If you ever find yourself lost in the woods and forget the knife you usually carry, you should learn as many ways of creating a sharp edge using natural materials as possible. The art of flint knapping is breaking certain types of rocks that only exist in various pockets around the country into stone knives and arrowheads. You can take some rocks, smash them on the ground, and get an edge to carve a Bowdrill notch, but you'll want something a little more precise eventually. Bone tools can be shaped into anything from the fishhook to spearpoint. That material is animal bone.

Class Dates: all classes begin at 4 PM Pacific and end at 6 PM

• 4/6/24 Part 1

• 5/11/24 Part 2

• 6/8/24 Part 3

• 6/29/24 Part 4

• 7/20/24 Part 5

• 8/5/24 part 6

Throughout this class experience, I will teach you:

• How to find animal bones

• Processing them in a way to maximizes the amount of tools you can get from a single piece of bone.

• Show you how to process and utilize the sinews, which can be used for anything from sewing to making a bowstring, and in the context of this class, how to attach a bone arrowhead to the arrow itself.

• I will also teach you how to process evergreen tree sap into what is known as "pitch glue." It makes for fantastic waterproofing

• a few tools you will learn to make are spears/arrowheads, needles, and knives, to name a few! Oh, and jewelry as well!

• We will create a group chat in WhatsApp or something like that, so they can always contact each other for questions and show off the cool things you're making!

Lastly, I have decided to start offering online preparedness evaluations. I've met too many people who think they're prepared, only to learn they are woefully underprepared.

We will start the process by setting up a time for a Zoom meeting, and I'll ask you to prepare a few things for the meeting. I will assess what sort of emergency supplies your household has. I will then spend some time going over the basics of preparedness.

After our session, I will compile a list of things you should get in the best place to get them from. I will never recommend a product I have not personally put through the ringers. If you're interested in this, please feel free to contact me. Once this storm passes and power is restored. I will be creating a page on my website with more information about this “new service.”

I've got a few other bits to discuss, but I will save that for a YouTube video follow-up. I want to show you some things you will learn during these new classes. Thank you all so much for your guidance through these trying times. Having a community that is so knowledgeable has been incredibly helpful!

Much Gratitude, Love, and Thanks to you all,

"Giving Tuesday"

A short video talking about helping others when they are in need

Alaskan Adventure: Rumination's From The Top of The World Part 1

 I have just returned from teaching a 6-day private Tracking class near Fairbanks, Alaska. This was my third time in Alaska and the furthest North I have ever been.

I have been in many grand wilderness areas, everything from the Pine barrens in New Jersey to the Seven hundred thousand acres surrounding my current home. No matter which forest in the lower 48, no matter how many miles I’ve walked into these areas, I, at least, can still feel the rush and din of society. Most people do not know this, but in the vast majority of the lower 48 states, I could take you,  blindfold you, drop you into a patch of woods, and if you have the ability to walk in a straight line for a few miles you will most likely encounter something made by humans. Be it a logging road, a country road, or maybe even a McDonalds! I need to fact-check this, but I believe the farthest you can be from a McDonald’s in the lower 48 is a few dozen miles. Up there, you stand at the top of Ridge and look; as far as I can see, it is nothing but wilderness. Heaven on Earth!

I am starting this blog with these facts because Alaska is completely unlike any patch of woods down here. There are areas so big, and there is nothing but the temples of creation stretching in all directions and the beauty of  Nature in its (mostly) Natural state. Most people know that Alaska is a hub of mining, Fossil fuel production, and logging,  but the vastness of the North country remains unexplored. When there, I feel it is calling to me., saying, “Come wander the moose trail, learn the properties of some new plant friends and animals to study. This leads me to discuss next year's “Alaskan Wilderness Adventure.” This class will be like no other, with only 8 to 10 spaces. It will be a seven-day experience where we walk into the wilderness with ultralight gear and do some adventuring. Think of it as part educational part, exploration, and part adventure. I will be releasing the dates and a more detailed description very shortly!

Classes!

I am in the process of adding both online and in-person classes, but I'm leaving a lot of space open for people wanting private classes. Contact me! I operate on a Sliding scale if you are interested, so a private class may be less costly than you think. I am also offering group discounts! I am also working on designing your online classes. But these will be more long-term commitments, around four months. There will be one Zoom session a week, I will send out one or two pre-recorded videos, and just when you thought you would never do any again, homework!

Special Collaboration Class!

I have been speaking with my good friend Mathieu Hébert from Les Primitifs, which is a school based in Canada. His website is in French, but I translated it. So, when you click the link, it should be in English. If not, you can use Google Translate. We have been friends for years since we met at Tracker School. Since then, his school has become the premier winter survival school around. The class doesn’t have a title yet, but it will focus on various skills, from awareness and movement to cultivating what I call the “Nature Mind.” The “Nature Mind” is the ability to connect with the landscape and know where to find certain resources you need to maintain your life force in a survival situation. This is a unique class, and only a few spaces will open as he brings some of his Staff members and students. The current dates are March 5th-10th here in the Sandy, Oregon area. I will post the exact dates with a full class description as soon as we discuss a few more details. Stay tuned!

Other Changes!

At some point in the near future, my website will split in two. This website will be solely dedicated to the educational side of my life, and my new website Will be strictly for my Photography, Where you go to purchase prints or custom pieces, and my school store as my clothing collection of Shirts and other items with my photographs on them will live. It will make things less cluttered on this site.

I would also be remiss would also be remiss if I didn't mention my current Go-Fund-Me. My business is still new, and it's only me at the helm. Donations have helped me immensely. I never imagined I would run into so many roadblocks, your donations and sharing my social media posts. Help immensely!

Much love, Thanks, and praises,
