You’ll also explore essential water skills—how to find, assess, and purify water in wilderness settings.
This program is designed to sharpen your practical outdoor abilities, reinforce safety practices with tools like saws and axes, and prepare you for more advanced bushcraft and survival challenges.

What Our Participants Say
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 2 kids did the Novice camp and it was so cool. Vitaliy was a great teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. They keep telling us new pieces of information they learned, stuff I had no idea about! They have also been practicing their knots and are making a plan for their own shelter. Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the free one day course after my daughter attended paid course 4 years ago. During the training, I learned some basic knowledge of wilderness survival, and the most valuable part is I learned how I can overcome my fear of wild animals.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The novice one course is packed with survival information and covered so much on basic survival skills should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing it! My goal was to prepare myself for overnight hikes and trail running adventures should something go awry, and it accomplished way more than that. Vitaliy has a ton of experience and highlights his class with personal anecdotes, which emphasizes his messages of being prepared and thinking critically. My one suggestion is to follow the advice on layering to keep warm! There is not a lot of movement on the first day, and although I had 4 layers on and it was plus 10 in April, I still got quite chilled...I shifted from "spring" layers to "winter" layers for the second day and felt much warmer :-) Highly recommend if you spend any time in the forest!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent a weekend learning from Vitaliy. He shared so much great information wether it was from the class curriculum or sharing from his personal experiences out in the wilderness. We had a lot of hands on learning which was challenging and so much fun. Vitaliy encouraged critical thinking and thinking ahead to be better prepared for possible unpleasant scenarios. I'm looking forward to my next level course. If you're new to wanting experiences in the wilderness or you've had lots of experiences and want to hone your survival skills, I highly recommend ONE WITH NATURE.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I just completed the Novice 1 Bushcraft class. We had an awesome time and learned so much. Our instructor Vitaliy is incredibly knowledgable in survival and bushcraft skills, and we came away with so many useful tips. We cannot wait to get outside and continue practice shelter building! My partner and I spend a lot of time outdoors, and we still had lots to learn from this program. Vitaliy helps build a perspective beyond what outdoor education typically focuses on. We learned a lot of the "why"s behind topics like animal behaviour and other outdoor knowledge. I left feeling empowered and excited to learn more.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vitaliy is amazing! There were clear aims for the day, his communication in advance of, and during the day was impeccable. I never felt rushed or judged, just encouraged and guided to improve my outdoor skills. I wholeheartedly recommend courses with this company.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is an amazing course about survival and how to using knife and how to build shelter in the forest! Vitaliy is a nice and funny coach! He always made much fun about bears because I am afraid of bears a lot. I am looking forward to join the next level class to learn how to make fire. And recommend everyone who want to learn some knowledge about survival to take these classes in victoria. What a magic trip!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The teacher has a deep knowledge of wilderness survival, a great attitude and was able to communicate/ meaningfully connect with each of us on an individual level. If you attend any of the offered classes, you will undoubtedly come out with skills you didn't have going in. They are each well planned out and properly tailored to all levels of experience.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vitaly is the best. We went in july for twice 3 days with our kids. Vitaly was super professional and safety was first. Kids enjoyed it and keep on talking about it every day. We learned amazing skills we will be using all our life. We saw so many wild lives. Nature was so generous with us. Vitaly was super patient with our kids.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of taking the private lesson, Novice 1 with Vitaliy in the summer of August 2024. To say he is very knowledgeable is an understatement. I advise, that you ask as many questions as possible, to absorb some of the knowledge that he has. There is no such thing as a stupid question, when you ask, you get to realize your inexperience and grow and build on that and tweak your next question(s). The decision to take the course was about being prepared and not becoming a victim of circumstances or another statistic unnecessarily. When you drive your vehicle you wear a seat belt don't you? You have the knowledge and experience to operate the vehicle don't you? So why not do the same about survival and bush craft? There are numerous situations that can leave you alone and stranded out in the wilderness overnight and you need to have some knowledge to feel confident, so that you can think calmly and clearly and plan your next steps. Taking the course provides muscle memory and that helps to boost your confidence and keep you calm in a sticky situation. Lots of people watch cooking shows, but ask them to make that meal on the spot and they will have no idea how to execute it unless they replay the video dozens of times and do the process step by step. I would highly recommend the course whether group or private for EVERYONE. Knowledge is power. And for the Christian folks you know what I am talking about... Rev 13 vs 17 God bless. Keep up the great work Vitaliy and One With Nature.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
