Midwest Bushcraft

“High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring”~Edward Abbey

Who I am. What I believe.

I am an outdoor educator and natural resource manager located in Northeast Iowa. I teach bushcraft/woodcraft skills to people of all ages and walks of life, and this is what I believe.
I believe that it is our duty to be good stewards of our natural resources.
I believe that by learning the proper skills people can better interact with nature, and leave it better than they found it.
I believe observation of nature only teaches you part of the story, interacting allows you to live it!
