Description

"The Wilderness Bushcraft Semester is an experience without compare; in looking for a course that gives a full and cohesive curriculum of primitive and wilderness skills, this is the only one that fulfilled my requirements. And the experience of those twelve weeks lived up to and surpassed all my expectations. I have learned more practical knowledge, and had more fun doing so, than in any of my university semesters. The experience also made me aware of how much we take for granted in life. I have begun to see how all the things that make our lives "easy" have a price, and have realized how empowering it can be to turn what is considered "waste" into beautiful compost, and how free I feel living without things that are made in an unsustainable way.

Our instructors are Registered and Master Maine Guides licensed by the state, and are among the most experienced in North America. We've guided wilderness expeditions in Maine, New Hampshire, Quebec, New Brunswick, Alaska and the Florida Everglades ( more on our history ).

"Tim had the challenge of taking our team of "urbanites" and prepping them for a night on their own in the deep woods of New Hampshire.

" Tim Smith meets and exceeds all expectations. From his professional approach with his work to the hospitality that he shares with all who visit Jack Mountain, the experience leaves a positive lasting impression. I found that as long as I was willing to listen, Tim was willing to pass on information.

"In my opinion Tim's greatest gift is his ability to demystify bushcraft. He makes bushcraft enjoyable and more importantly, accessible. So many of today's practitioners of bushcraft would like you to believe that bushcraft is a rarefied art form, with only a diligent few acquiring mastery. This is, in my opinion, an elitist approach. Granted, many bushcraft skills require years of dedication to master, but Tim has a knack of making these skills accessible to any person interested in bushcraft. He gives his students the skill set and self-belief for a far more enjoyable, and vastly more enriching, experience of the outdoors. Well-learned Bushcraft enables an individual to develop a more intimate and respectful bond with nature, it also emboldens the individual to rely on their own ingenuity and skills.
