Meet Dave
Wilderness Mentor
A qualified counsellor and experienced professional outdoors-man, I have combined my knowledge and passion for the outdoors with an understanding of the need for people to re-engage with the outdoors and nature.
With 15 years experience as a tracking and survival instructor I have developed a unique method of using the outdoors as a place for personal exploration and discovery. Holding a belief that we all need to find our own connection with nature as an essential part of life, no matter where we are or what we do.
"The wilderness is where we belong, it should be a place of comfort and solace. A safe place where we can learn about and understand ourselves."
