Since then, I have trained more than 3800 students in the art of survival and people from all walks of life attend my outdoor survival courses in the Western Cape, Gouritzmond just outside Mosselbay, and in Gauteng.

I train people how to become self-sufficient in the outdoors. It is my passion to not only teach survival skills, but to give people life skills that encourage them to grow in confidence by facing challenges in all aspects of their lives. I live to teach survival.’
