THE EDGE

– Just a note to say Thank You for the outstanding experience I had at THE EDGE.
I was blown away at how well you’ve thought out
and deliberately constructed the adventure.
I went in with the expectation of expanding and
testing my outdoor skill set and came out fully
changed in my perspective on life.”
All my best ~ Bill

Train to survive in harsh terrain and extreme conditions

During an outdoor survival emergency many factors come into play. Freezing temperatures to extreme heat can play out in a single day, hours, or minutes.

Shelter

An understanding and the ability to apply shelter concepts are paramount to ones survival.

Water

Water is as vital as the air we breathe. Dehydration restricts our ability to think, plan, and act.

Fire Craft

The core training for all outdoor skills is your ability to be successful with fire. To master fire your knowledge and skill level must produce success.

Food

Food can be a luxury in an emergency. Still, we will add calories to our diet from what is safe and available.

THE EDGE graduate Ryan by campfire smiling
Ryan's testimonial of THE EDGE

Mark, I had a completely different review planned. Then Hurricane Harvey hit. In August of 2017, I took the Edge. Atypically, I took the course without having done any of the earlier ones such as first circle. Despite my limited knowledge, I was able to learn and survive. The class was a fantastic experience; however that is not what this is about. Shortly after I completed the class, Hurricane Harvey came barreling towards my home. Severe flooding, tornado's, and no access to traditional food sources resulted. Thanks to the training I had received in the Edge, and especially thanks to the mindset developed there, I was able to manage my family's survival situation with ease. I credit our safety during this disaster to Mark and his teachings, as well as the overall experience of the Edge. Thank you, Mark. We are safely managing this disaster thanks to you.    ~Ryan Fremuth

Challenging

Dear Mark, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for another incredible week of the Edge at LWA. The opportunity to come back this time with my son Kevin and to share this journey has provided us a lifetime of memories. The program you have designed captures the essence of survival training physicality as well as mental toughness. These tools complemented by your advanced training leaves the survivalist a profound sense of spiritual appreciation for nature and the obstacles we must overcome. Sincerely, Dr. Dean Glasser Prof. Columbia University Dental School LI Scout Baltimore Orioles Major League Baseball

Train to survive in harsh terrain and extreme conditions

Dear Mark, "I am awfully glad I had the opportunity to spend that time with you. It has helped me connect in a more profound way to nature around me. I look at it differently and slow down so that I can be more present to it – for some reason I am now better able to blot out much of the extraneous stimuli of modern life. Also, and equally important, I have an entirely more practical and nuanced understanding of survival in the wild – no longer driven to conquer it, far less afraid of it, and far more confident in my ability to make the appropriate decisions. Far more in awe of nature too! " Cheers! ~ Hugh MacMillan

"Hey Mark, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to thank you again for an amazing experience in the edge camp. Rick and I had a great time learning about the wild and how to survive with nothing!" ~Darren Desgroseilliers.
