About Our

Many things go into
making an incredible wilderness experience at Ancient Pathways
and you'll find all the technical information on our
fieldcourses listed below. But it's the love of teaching
these skills to others that gives us the passion for this
business. We're right out there with you on every
fieldcourse, sleeping in shelters, eating around the campfire,
and walking the land. We've personally tested every skill
we teach in rain, snow, sleet, sub-zero temperatures, blistering
heat, high winds, and done it for the sake of learning and
adventure! Nothing beats firsthand experience and that's
why many of our students return again and again to take more
courses with us. We hope you'll consider doing the same.
Keep in mind that many of our courses book up four to six months
in advance and that we keep the numbers low to ensure getting to
know and work with you individually. We offer two types of
courses: Skill-Based and Field Courses.

Skill-Based
Courses |
|
|
|
The Skill-Based Courses
are held in a basecamp with meals and water provided. Since the
emphasis is on learning and practicing skills under non-survival
conditions, you may bring any gear (tents, sleeping bags,
etc...) that you need to be comfortable.
Our Skill-Based courses
include: Braintan
Buckskin Workshop,
Women's Outdoor
Survival Basics,
Orienteering & Land
Navigation, Outdoor Survival, and
Desert
Survival and Ecology. |
|
|
Field
Courses |
|
|
| The Field Courses
emphasize lightweight travel methods and primitive survival
skills. If you want to live in the wilderness with a minimum of
gear while sleeping in handmade shelters, foraging and fishing
for food, and utilizing day-to-day primitive living methods,
then consider a Field Course. Mileage, in terms of hiking, is
kept low so we can spend more time working on skills in a remote
wilderness setting. Our Field Courses include:
Walkabout Courses,
Knife-Only Survival Outings,
The
Resourceful Nomad, and
Desert
Survival Basics. |

|
|
One-day courses run from
10 am to 5 pm, with participants providing their own lunch.
Overnight courses run from 9 am on the first day to 3 pm on the
last day, with two wholesome meals a day provided. Enrollment is limited to
no more than 8 students per course to ensure quality instruction
& allow for individual attention. Children 14 and up are welcome
to attend with a parent or guardian. To register send in your
50% deposit and we will provide the appropriate paperwork. |
