CYBER WEEK SALE IS ON!
If you’re like most of our students, you’re watching the world change around you and have begun to feel concerned, even anxious, about how you’ll face the challenges that may lie ahead.
You’ve liked all the pages and watched all the videos and followed all the influencers, but still find yourself confused about what skills you need to learn and where the best place is to learn them.
That’s where we come in.

At Practical Primitive, we help men and women with a passion for learning, practicing & perfecting Primitive, Traditional and Wilderness Survival Skills to understand the principles, foundations and science behind them, so you can stop struggling to get results and discover how easy and attainable success can be for anyone, no matter your age, size, gender or physical abilities.
______________________________________________________________
Unlike others who teach a “right” way, or focus on strength and power over individual needs and success, we teach Principles in simple and easy-to-understand terms, allowing each individual to find the way that works best to get the results you’ve been looking for, and build confidence in your ability to achieve repeatable success.

Are You Tired Of…

- Spending weekends or weeks away from your home and family?
- Having to choose between using your days off for family time or pursuing your passion?

- The cost and hassle of constant travel to and from classes that are hours or states away?
- Spending thousands on expensive in-person programs that don’t deliver what they claim?

- Trying to learn from click-bait videos & celebrity survivalists more interested in ratings than in reality?
- Attempting to learn on your own at home, with no one to ask when things go wrong?

Live With Confidence!
Live your life with the certainty of knowing that these skills will work for you every single time and be confident in your ability to care for yourself, your family and your loved ones under any circumstances!
At Practical Primitive we know you’re the kind of person who wants to take care of yourself and your loved ones, and not be dependent on government or other outside forces to meet your needs.
In order to have that confidence, you need skills.

The kinds of skills our Grandparents, Great-Grandparents, and all of our other ancestors had. The skills they took for granted as part of living a full and independent life, but that modern society has tossed aside as “primitive”, “unnecessary”, “irrelevant” and “quaint”.
The fact is, in today’s world finding teachers who truly know these skills is hard. Sure, lots of places teach them, but all too often the “instructors” have barely learned the skill themselves, and have little to no real experience. They don’t understand how and why the skill is done, so they can’t help you when it goes wrong.
You must seek out truly skilled teachers where ever you can find them, but time constraints, job requirements and family commitments, not to mention the difficulties, frustrations and expense that comes with traveling to and from the classes you need make it practically impossible, to get the training you long for.
All making you fear you’ll never find the time you need to really learn, practice and perfect your skills to the point where you and your family will be really ready for whatever may come your way.

This world is changing. We feel it, you feel it, deep down, we all know it. Everywhere you look there is fear, division, political strife, weather disasters, floods, fires, volcanoes, earthquakes… events that haven’t been seen in hundreds, even thousands of years are all converging, now. The safe and prosperous future we planned on is no longer guaranteed. The world is changing, and people who are not readying now to meet those changes may find themselves left behind, unprepared, confused and failing in a world they no longer recognize.
But it doesn’t have to be that way! We don’t have to stay in fear and doubt. We can learn the skills and make the preparations NOW to meet the challenges of our future world. We can ready ourselves NOW to meet life’s coming challenges from a position of strength, confidence and independence, not fear, helplessness and subordination.
You don’t have to be strong, you don’t have to be big, you don’t have to be special. All it takes is time, effort, energy, and a willingness to learn.
We believe these skills are for everyone!
They are our human birthright and everyone can, and should, have the opportunity to learn, practice, perfect and integrate them into their lives, no matter where they live.
We also understand that time and travel are not easy or even possible for everyone, and over the past few years they have become increasingly more difficult.


Which is why we’ve dedicated our time, effort and energy into developing these specially-designed, 100% online courses and programs that you can do in your own home, in your own environment, using your own local resources, at your own pace.
All while having full access to top-level instructors
ready to guide and help you
along your journey!

Think about it — if these skills were really that hard, that special, if you truly needed to be someone big and fast and strong and unique to be successful, the human race would have died out a long time ago.
Anyone can learn these skills, so if you’re ready to put in the time, effort and energy to learn, practice, perfect and integrate them into your life, now is the time, this is the place, to begin your journey.
Start living with the confidence in your abilities and the sense of true freedom that can only come with the knowledge and understanding of how the natural world can provide us with everything we need… provided we know what we’re looking at and how to use it.
This freedom belonged to your ancient ancestors, and it can belong to you too.
