Grounded, Field-Tested Instruction
At Minnesota Bushcraft and Survival, we teach real skills for real woods. Founded on U.S. Army infantry squad leadership and decades of active trapping, hunting, fishing, and wildcrafting across the upper Midwest, our courses eliminate dangerous survival myths and gear-reliance crutches.
Whether you are an experienced woodsman looking to master bow drill fire and debris huts, or a beginner building a reliable day kit, you will leave our grounds with practical confidence built through direct dirt-time.
Private Groups, Custom Training & Sunday Slots
Select Sunday dates throughout the year are reserved for private family bookings, corporate teambuilding, and specialized group instruction on our personal acreage.
