Outdoor Survival, Bushcraft, Wilderness Medicine, Preparedness.

Valkyries, considered Nordic Warrior Angels, were sent to choose the brave warriors on the fields of battle, men who were to die a mortal’s death only to enjoy the bounties of Valhalla. The Wolves Den consists of Fenrir and his sons Hati & Skoll and their offspring. Fenrir, son of Loki, bit off the hand of the god Tyr and was said to have been very important in the battle of Ragnarok, the final battle of sorts. It is myth but what an incredible tale it is.
***So, what better representatives for our school than ancient warrior angels-Valkyries and the spirit animal of the Wolf. We train to be strong, intelligent, brave and loyal. Let us teach our children to be the same.
Teach children to be kind, strong, intelligent, brave, loyal and self-reliant. Wisdom comes from experience and trial and error. Knowledge is power.
When there is no one to help you or your loved ones, you will be able to rely on yourself as your loved ones will be well versed in Outdoor Survival as well as Bushcraft, finding and gathering food, how to prepare it. Learn the following: How to build shelters, build fires with primitive methods as well as what fire-starting items to have your Bug Out Bags (BOBs). How to make water potable. What medical supplies to always carry with you in your car, in your BOBs and other places. How to apply basic life-saving measures when just camping or if your family does face more dire and austere situations. Women and children need to learn Survival, Bushcraft, Wilderness Medicine and Preparedness along with their husbands and fathers and brothers. It is so very important in this day and age of technology to get the kids out and teach them about the ever vanishing world of nature and how to survive if the need ever arises. Women and children learning Bushcraft alongside men is a bonding experience never to be be forgotten nor equalled. The smile on a child’s face when they accomplish the outdoor tasks is an amazing thing to witness. I know because I teach my 13 year old daughter the skills needed to see her safe in the woods and at home. She loves to learn and she thrives in learning everything I throw at her. Even target practice with her recurve bow. My daughter is a Junior Survival Instructor and blossoms when teaching her peers Survival Skills. Baby steps at first, then hit the ground running. I never even camped until I was in my 40’s. It is an amazing time to bond with friends, brothers and sisters of the out of doors and with family. Over the years, I have met so many incredible people with outstanding skills and knowledge. I am blessed to have been accepted by so many and to be able to call upon them whenever needed. That is why we strive to make learning fun as well as easy to understand for beginners and enjoyable to all others at all levels. Going camping is always an adventure and a time for new ideas to be shared.
Hands on is the only way to customize skills to fit your capabilities. Getting outdoors and just doing it is what separates those who will be successful from those who only talk about it. Challenging yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone is the best way to learn and grow as a person and to develop new skills and new ideas. Get some dirt time!
We never stop learning. It is not the destination, but the journey that fills the soul…
Welcome to the Pack!!!
