- Is This Book for You?
*
If you are a student of Nature on the quest to master
the ancient survival skills of the Native Americans, this series
of books is your step-by-step guide.
*
If you are a teacher who understands the value of experiential
education for your students or scouts or outing club, your lesson
plans lie within these covers.
*
If you are a hiker who wants to carry less gear and become
more self-reliant by using what the forest has to offer, these
pages will lighten your load.
*
If you are an employee at an outdoor venue (private, state
or national park; summer camp; Nature center; river, trail, or
hunting guide) and you crave more knowledge of your natural surroundings
for the sake of teaching clients, your schooling begins here.
*
If you yearn for that intimate relationship that the Native Americans
enjoyed with Nature - to transcend from visitor to participant
in the forest, that life-changing journey begins here.
*
And especially if you are a parent who seeks the practical
and spiritual grounding for your child that comes from time spent
in the workshop of Nature, these pages are stepping stones on
a pathway of adventures that you and your child can walk together.
Quality family time, being at home in Nature, learning the most
fundamental skills that humans were meant to use on this planet
… you'll find that here.

Mark Warren is a true gift to the world
of outdoor education. His lessons have sent myriads of educators
into the world armed with real substance, a sense of meaningful
connection, and a passion for sharing. I am one of these educators.
There is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful for the
knowledge he shared with me and his influence on my life.
~ Nathan Roark, Executive
Director of Buffalo Cove Outdoor Education Center, Deep Gap,
NC
There is such an empowerment in having
real, proven, self-tested survival skills. With Mark as your
guide you feel less like you're traveling into the wilderness
and more like you're coming home. The world needs this knowledge
more than ever.
~ Cody Foor, Professional
Martial Arts Instructor, Duluth, GA
Mark's nature and survival skills lessons
teach the "whole child." Not every student loves sports
or excels in academics, but those students might just find their
true passion and talents hidden in nature.
~ Randi Schlosser, Teacher/Curriculum
Coordinator, St. Peter's Episcopal School, Red Bank, TN |
