School Of Self Reliance

Members of our family have been learning outdoor survival skills from Christopher for over a decade. Christopher is an amazing living resource and we can never get enough training. One of my son’s took a more extensive class, which he loved. My daughter’s and I have taken a wild edible’s class as well as a weaving class. He picks easy access locations so any urban dweller can learn life long skills with a short drive from home. He is great with kids of all ages. He also has books you can buy on his website which I highly recommend. His commitment to outdoor education and the community are really commendable. I don’t think there is anything available that compares… you should check it out.

Christopher Nyerges is great! He takes the time to properly explain his techniques and always makes time for questions. Plus he really knows his material!

Recently took the bow-​making class. WOW. This is the place to start the journey toward surviving the zombie apocalypse o.O. Or maybe just learning to survive for a night or two lost while hiking. Am looking forward to taking more classes.
In the meantime, I signed up for other classes recommended by one of the regulars. It’s the unexpected benefit of spending hours with generous, down-​to-​earth people who are themselves learning new life skills.
I feel very lucky to have such a rare resource as Christopher (and his compatriots). Learn one new thing every day? In one class you will learn dozens.

Christopher is an expert in Plant identification, Outdoor Survival, and is a very patient and capable instructor. He has taught me many outdoor skills, and has also instructed my Boy Scout Troop on several occassions. I highly reccomend any of his outdoor courses.

I took the survival class and it was long, but fun. In 100 degree summer heat we hiked about 4 miles total. We made an emergency shelter, built fires thru all methods, ate wild food, wove leaves, and «made» soap. I wish they gave out certificates it was such an accomplishment for me. I am looking to take another fun excursion or two from them! Chris is nice, smart, helpful, and an expert.
