I bought the outdoor life and bushcraft skills course. The reason behind this purchase was that I got lost while on one of the weekend hikes that I go on. If it weren’t for my friend who found a way back to the trail, I really don't know what would have occurred. I began to imagine: what if something would have happened to him, rendering him incapable? Who would then take the lead? Am I equipped to take the lead?? In that moment, I became aware that I was clueless. I felt extremely unprepared were something tragic to take place. I came home after that hike and decided to look up an outdoors survival course. I have had little exposure during my lifetime to the wilderness and so I wanted and expected to obtain a basic understanding of what I need to survive in the wilderness. I found Vitaliy to be thorough when going over each component of the course. He is a devoted outdoorsman and a skilled teacher. The course was engaging and I found excitement in being involved in the process of taking actions in each exercise. There was a lot that I had no idea about and It was extremely fun to begin feeling competent in our natural environment, the wilderness, even after only a few hours. I acknowledge that there is still more to learn and practice! Now I feel confident to hit the bush! Oh, bring extra layers to stay warm!!
Definitely No Gimmicks or Show with this guy. As I learned myself, Vitaliy is packed with unique and elaborate survival skills, and he loves to share them with people. This guy is great source for knowledge of old school surviving technics that just never get old.
Highly recommended
Vitaliy is an outstanding person who is very comfortable in the bush. When we hike I always learn something new from him. Recently, he demonstrated that he knew more about my own Garmin gps than I did! There is no one I would feel safer in the woods with. He is still learning his craft but he works hard at honing his skills. Anyone who takes this course will feel much more confident in the woods. Reg Brick, retired Forester.
Vitaliy is truly an avid outdoorsman. His love and understanding of nature shines through in his teaching philosophy. He is keen to show others how to embrace nature and work in harmony with it. At times he can be a little too direct especially if you aren't doing things the way he likes, but it's probably because he wants to ensure you are learning the skills correctly! I highly recommend Vitaliy for anyone interested in learning useful survival skills in the wild.
Vitaliy is a great, tough guy who knows so much about survival in forests, mountains, despite if it is winter or summer. He has always a solution to at a first sight stalemate. I was surprised how simple and efficient solutions might be!
I could definitely recommend his survival school. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher.
Good luck to you Vitaliy. Hope to hike with you soon!
