Extended Summer Wilderness Living Skills Courses
Exploration	Plant Identification

"This was my first course, so I had few expectations. All my expectations were exceeded. Curriculum and content were very in depth and I wasn't able to retain it all. I didn't expect such a comprehensive course covering such diverse topics. Great balance between skills practice and information/theory. Instructors were able to cover everything we students wanted as the course was catered to our wants/needs. The course was wisely paced to keep us up in energy and enthusiasm. Instructor's experience and expertise were immediately apparent. You are really good people, patient and easy to work with/learn from!"
Mors teaching Fire by Friction	Shelter Building

"I found the course to be very good value. The subjects covered were very appropriate and all very interesting and applicable. I also enjoyed the loose structure of the course as it lent itself well to the groups interest and the local environment. The different ecosystems visited was a great idea and especially the exploration of the island. Both instructors where excellent and very generous with their time, able to answer any question as well as being very patient with the students. I was also pleasantly surprised with the pack load of stuff I ended up with. Thanks again so much and you will definitely see me again."
"I have been interested in outdoor activities enough to have taken courses on the subject since 1991, ranging from a few hours on a sunny afternoon to 6 or 7 days through all types of weather. Never have I felt that I've gotten so much out of my time and energy. As a bonus I feel lucky to have gotten to spend some time outdoors with the person I think is the top outdoorsman of contemporary age - Mors Kochanski. I only wish my time spent with Mors was longer. In a nutshell, what Mors and Randy teach, they know."
Extended Winter Wilderness Living Skills Courses
Classroom Instruction	Igloo Building

We had enough snow on the 2007 winter course for the students to make igloos. They made 2 igloos and 1 very large quinzy. They also experienced staying in them.
"Excellent balance of instruction between academics/theory and experimental education. I was utterly amazed at how much I had learned by midweek! Thank you Randy and Mors for your patience, attention to every course detail and incredible depth of instruction. I had material that I got here, that will occupy me until the end of my days and I haven't even had the summer version yet! Taking a course with Mors has been on my life list. Excellent Course.
"A thorough curriculum leaving a student with a basic understanding of how to take care of oneself in winter conditions which can become quite severe. Any graduate of this course will be guaranteed to be able to handle various emergency situations and more so of bush crafting, most importantly a real understanding of how to conduct oneself in northern forests so a survival situation will be unlikely because the knowledge of tools, materials and behavior are understood to make any situation comfortable."
Drum Courses
"Excellent! What a sense of accomplishment and pride to make your own drum. Instructor explained things well - gave good help. I would highly recommend this course!"

"Excellent instruction, relaxed atmosphere, informative, friendly, fun. Would take it again."
"Your techniques are presented and taught in a way that just about anyone could successfully make a drum. The instructors are great to work with, patient teachers and good fun. Thank you for a very special, memorable time and a good drum."
