Ghost Wolf Survival School




Besides being military trained (US Army),living amongst the Amerindians and learning their ways for along period of time,I was given the 'medicine name' (shunkahah wanagi) meaning loosely Ghost Wolf...I have a little Indian blood in me,but mostly a 'white man' yet returning to the 'primitive/native principles' that,by survival standards and in todays times,we a necessary MUST!

I have lived in the deserts of three different SW desert climates,the Sonoran,the Great Basin Mohave and the Chihuahuan,both as a modern survivalist and as a rough and tumble primitive survivalist,in these actions I take great pleasure in teaching others how to turn a '0' survival rate in the desert plains into one that has a 10 in front of the '0',in other words a 100%.

I am an avid believer in the fact that 'long term' living can be achieved with knowledge (and will power) as like the Native Americans did before us for 10,000 years.have spent a lifetime learning from the 'tribes' and 'medicine men' in many ways,to learn and preserve the 'desert ways' and now I do my best to help others 'survive',in outdoor settings and now even in the 'prepper communities'.Although I am an all terrain survivalist,the majority of the survivalist work has been in the desert SW,minus some training and teaching in the Carolina's and Oklahoma within the last 12 years or so!

My wife and I HAD been the 'primitive instructors' for the Las Vegas Prepper's meetup group,the old group when first founded,but had left the group a few years ago,we had good reason and to this point glad we did.

Here is an important part of the EAST Mohave desert climate.Many 'instructors' who seem to be confused as per the climate and type of desert,so let me begin a brief explaination of this.also,as a point,this side of the Mohave has much less 'rain/water sources so the flora is slightly different,and this area presents 'other desert challenges' that is unique to THIS climate and zone compared to like the sister Sonoran,or the 'high plain Mohave' near Joshua Tree.There are a few 'other' instructors that have 'pushed' the primitive ways of the WESTERN side of the Mohave,which had SOME similarities to the EASTERN side but it's NOT the same desert climate.The Eastern Mohave is a very arid,and usually much drier than the Western side.This does depend on the 'wet/rainy' season of the year,byt as a point the Western Mohave usually gets the 'wet' before the Eastern side does,when the high pressure dome happen's here,much of the rain is diverted to the Sonoran desert a few hundred miles to the East.One of the biggest skill sets here,we stress,in the East Mohave is 'finding water',blanching water,and knowing what and how some waters that can be used in purification,and much of the gypsum latent salt laced brined water cannot be used for intake.Having water...being able to find suitable water for consumption is a real life riddled task,especially when its 115 degree's in the dead heat of day (summer),and so on.

Much of the 'stone age' primitive bushcraft we do,is from what we label as the 'bare bones',in other words,you have to work with what you have or find,and a good healthy knowledge of the terrains,desert shelves,cave networks,desert flora (edible and poisonous) and fauna (types of food to trap and here is where primitive 'hunting' comes in.

The URL to the Las Vegas Prepper meetup is below,its still a very good group that went through many changes in the last few years,you will NOT see the names under Chuck W and Cyn as the primitive instructors/organizers,we left with 'good reason and good graces',we wish them well on their journey,their path is not our own (at this moment),sometimes the subject of something can be the same but the principle of action,thereof,is very different.

Soon will be presented with 'videos' on load out equipment,foraging,bushcrafting,and important survival methods and techniques,for the 'Mohave desert experience that will,if followed and practiced,save your life in the desert 'life'.These video's will be a taste,not a manual for procedures,you MAY get a sense,with experience of what 'this' is all about in 'certain' forms',but nothing beats the how to of a present well learned and skilled survivalist instructor passing along 'the keys' to said practices,face to face, in the mix of experiences.

Both the wife and I have had a lot of requests to return to teaching again,not just the primitive pathways but other 'aspects' we also taught in between the means of this version of hardcore survivalism as the 'primitives did,and have proven,so can we.

There will be a page,here,for the video's themselves.
