    (Sports industry)

    January 1999Present (10 years 7 months)

    Jack Mountain Bushcraft runs field-based, college-level semester and yearlong immersion programs in bushcraft and wilderness guide training, courses on tradtional north woods crafts, nature programs for kids and classes on sustainable living and wilderness survival.

    Our approach to education comes from the philosophies of bushcraft we've developed over a decade of field courses, the traditions of Maine Guides that go back generations, the Cree concept of miyupimaatisiium (translated as "being alive well") and the Scandinavian idea of friluftsliv (translated as "open air life"). Summed up in a single word, our educational philosophy is this: can.
