Earth Native Wilderness School

In a time when most people find out about survival skills through reality television, brothers Dave and Michel Scott are the exception. The two brothers spent their formative years exploring the Texas wilderness. Dave, a U.S. Army veteran, is one of only 17 people in North America qualified as a Track and Sign Specialist. He and his brother have devoted themselves to helping society remember the skills that have kept us alive for thousands of years.

Earth Native Wilderness School’s instructors come from all walks of life, but they each have a love of nature. With lessons in medicinal plants, basic wilderness survival, and wildlife tracking, the school’s classes teach students skills such as fashioning tools for survival, arrow making, fire-by-friction, and finding an ATM in the desert. The staff also realizes humanity's spiritual connection to nature, and can also guide students through a vision quest to strengthen one’s relationship with nature.
