For the masses, the opportunity to venture out into the wilderness with a recognized survival expert is a distant dream. Imagine being told first hand not only what certain plants are but also what medicines they contain, being shown how to pick them, how they can be eaten or used, and that is only the beginning. What an opportunity!
Sharpened by decades of practice, Gilles' repertoire of survival techniques represent not only an art form in themselves. They are quickly becoming seen by many as indispensable skills. A certified Master Instructor of wilderness survival, Gilles is quick to point out that the life journey is one that never ends. He therefore continuously refines and perfects his craft. If you've ever dreamed of being able to survive in nature without modern tools and accessories, "The Bear" is the man who can teach you how to do it!
