True North Wilderness Survival School, LLC

This was an enlightening course that I thoroughly enjoyed. It gave me a new appreciation for the difficulties facing survival in the wilderness, and the direct, informal, and hands-on approach gave me confidence in learning wilderness survival skills. I'm definitely looking forward to doing more courses!

Wilderness Survival 101 with the instructor Erik was great--Erik taught us a lot of skills (knots, shelter, fire, etc.) and mental attitude approaches to contribute to surviving the wilderness. I took the class to gain knowledge and confidence to take my family camping, and I feel much more prepared for that after the class. I highly recommend True North Wilderness Survival School and Erik to anyone who is interested!

Basic Land Navigation and Advanced Land Navigation: Excellent school. Erik and Terry taught a method that is easy to understand and apply immediately. Whether you're prepping for selection, or just going out on a hike - they teach as a group, but tailor the course to each individual. Even if you think you've got this and have the best method - having done this a lot I can tell you - learn their method and apply it over and over in the course. When you are dead tired and droning - it will save you. Highly recommended. (a month later ) Basic Military Land Navigation: Excellent. A longer walk and a great time. The different and much larger training area really takes it to the next level. Route planning is key. (so many navigation points - and so well placed and thought out to cover all the main points of land navigation) Plus - you search for the points at night as well. Another great course. Thanks Erik!

I took both the basic and advanced land nav courses. Erik, our instructor, was incredible. The courses do a great job taking you from knowing nothing to feeling quite comfortable navigating on your own. I highly recommend True North!

I spent the weekend with Erik completing both the Basic and Advanced Land Navigation courses. Absolute hell of a time that I will not forget. Erik is a highly effective educator, speaking and instructing at a perfect cadence and very good at making sure things don't get off track. He was clearly concerned that we were retaining what he was teaching. I learned a lot in 2 days, though Erik was great at emphasizing how perishable these skills are so I will be sure to practice. I will likely take one of his other courses in the future. And that park is beautiful. Thanks again Erik.
