Education Director at Long Branch Environmental Education Center


I've been apprenticing with Johnny for almost 9 months and since the first lesson, his deep attunement to both me as a student and the heart of the lessons he shares were so precise and grounded. As I lean into bow hunting, tracking, and stalking, Johnny has been skillful to notice what comes naturally to me and also intuits what might be a challenge. The refined balance of hands-on practice and theory has been incredibly supportive for me so that I can both understand and feel what I'm trying to learn. I would highly recommend any of Johnny's guidance and work to those wanting to explore anything related to survival, self-reliance, nature-connection, and hunting.

The Elite Survival Online Academy


This online program teaches the skills that make a person capable. Built on self-sufficiency and the Natural World, it’s for anyone ready to stop relying on systems that don’t serve them—whether you’re city-bound or deep in the woods.

You’ll train in the fundamentals: firecraft, bladecraft, fiber work, hunting, trapping, foraging food and medicine, homesteading, permaculture, backcountry first aid, knots, lashings, and more.

These are not hobbies. They are skills of independence. They harden resolve, build resilience, and return responsibility where it belongs—in your own hands.

Step away from dependency. Take back your freedom.
