"As a single mom, I wanted to feel confident taking my kids on hikes. Now I feel like we can enjoy the outdoors safely, and my kids had a blast learning too! We are looking forward to doing another course for winter!"
"I’ve backpacked across the lower 48, but am new to Alaska. Dustin was awesome - the way teaches felt so personalized, and he answered literally every question I had. I left the course feeling prepared, confident, and excited to explore!"
“Our whole family loved this course! Dustin kept it fun but practical, and even our teenagers were engaged the entire time. We feel like we have a real plan for emergencies, and it was a great bonding experience.”
“Came to Anchorage with the military, and I wanted to learn skills specific to the area. Dustin’s knowledge is incredible, and he teaches without making you feel intimidated. I feel better about staying safe outdoors and in the city.”
