“I would like to thank you for the course. You are very knowledgeable and your skillset is impressive. The small size of the course was helpful since we were able to get instant answers from you. Although you are very skilled you did not present the “I am holier” attitude, this made it even more pleasant to be around you. Since we were able to pick your brain with having to wonder if it was a dumb question. It was very helpful when you explained things and added the historical uses and examples to help cement the validity of the techniques. I highly recommend your course.” ~ Ramon S.

“I wanted to share what a great course I attended this past week, Ancient Pathways Desert Survival Intensive Course near Flagstaff, Arizona. I have been to Special Forces school and learned a thing or two along my 60+ years as a backpacker, military member and mountaineer however, there was much I have never tried or experienced before attending Tony’s course. I highly recommend the courses at Ancient Pathways, very well done by a true expert in primitive living, survival and bushcraft. Cheers!” ~ Bill J., From the Equipped to Survive Forum
