The Folkvangr land and forest has been in his family for decades and he’s been playing in the forest here since he was a young boy. He grew up constantly playing and roughing it in the bush and is now passionate about all things bushcraft and survival. Building, backcountry camping, hunting and foraging for edible plants, mushrooms and medicinals. He has a deep connection to the animals and living creatures of the land.

When he’s not teaching you’ll find him in a Hammock in the Forest!
