1 on 1 coaching to fit your schedule
Private lessons are the fastest way to add new skills and hone existing ones.
There are two paths:
Adventure coaching is a multi-week custom course just for you. To help you become who you have always wanted to be. Through ongoing 1:1 mentorship, we braid wilderness skills, deepening immersion in the wild and Proof Quests built to show you, undeniably, that you’re the brave, capable, wild person you know you’re meant to be.
Private lessons are focused, one-on-one sessions built around the skill you want to learn. Want to master friction fire, learn to navigate with map and compass or finally build a shelter that keeps you dry? We’ll work at your pace, on your schedule, until you can do it with confidence on your own.
The Wild Forge Adventure Coaching
The fastest way from beginner to badass
There is a badass living inside of you, you can feel it. You know you're meant to be brave, and capable and wild. But you don't know how to get from who you are right now to who you want to be.
I've learned how to wield adventure in the wild as tool to help others (and myself) transform into our best selves.
​
The Wayfinder is private mentorship that meets you where you are and braids 3 things together:
​
-
Skills: Real wilderness competence, taught at your pace: land or water based (season dependent) navigation, fire, shelter, water, tracking, foraging, knots, stealth, self rescue and more. These skills are more than just practical- while they might someday save your life- what they really give you is capability and connection. Capability gives you confidence when you're facing the unknown.
-
Wilderness immersion: Time on the land that gets steadily deeper. Your awareness shifts, your perception grows, and suddenly you no longer feel like just a visitor to the wild.
-
Identity Alchemy: Consciously choose who you want to become and then we'll design and head out on Proof Quests — wilderness challenges built to give your subconscious undeniable evidence that you are that person.

In this private beginner lesson, we'll meet you exactly where you are. We'll work through the foundational techniques that make trails feel manageable instead of terrifying — body position, braking, how to read what's coming and set yourself up for success. The stuff that nobody tells you when you're starting out, but that makes everything click once you know it.
