The Mandate

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

~Matthew 28:19-20

A Wilderness Discipleship Group for Men

Adventure Awaits!

Join us as we dive into the art of bushcraft, mastering skills like fire-building, shelter-making, primitive traps, handlines, and backpacking skills. More importantly, we will build relationships, face challenges together, and encourage one another while learning about the God who created it all.

"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." ~Hebrews 10:24-25

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain (or fine tune) practical skills, while deepening your walk with the Lord, and forge meaningful connections with other men. Let’s sharpen each other, as iron sharpens iron, and prepare for the challenges of both the wilderness and the daily journey of faith.

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

—Proverbs 27:17

Future Events

  • Handlines

    Date TBD

    Get ready for the most manly event of the year—a day of crafting cutting-edge fishing gear... out of string and sticks. That’s right, we’re making handlines, because who needs expensive rods and reels when you’ve got raw ingenuity? Once our "technological masterpieces" are ready, we’ll hit the water to test our skills and see who can catch the biggest fish—or at least avoid snagging a tree. Never fished before? Perfect, we’ll have plenty of advice that may or may not help. It'll be an event to probably remember! 025

  • Fire 2.0

    Date TBD

    Come learn the ancient art of not freezing to death! Forget about fumbling with soggy matches —this workshop will turn you into a fire-starting legend (or at least someone who doesn’t shiver in shame). You’ll discover the secrets of finding fatwood, birch bark, and other great materials for starting a fire—assuming you can spot them. No more staring at damp sticks and hoping they’ll spontaneously combust. We’ll teach you how to gather the good stuff, even if the weather’s trying to ruin your day. . Whether you’re preparing for a wilderness adventure or just want an excuse to play with fire, this is the workshop for you!

  • 24 Hour Survival Challenge

    Think you're tough? Prove it. Join us for 24 hours in the woods with no food, no shelter, and no clue what you're doing. This isn't your average weekend getaway—unless your idea of luxury is eating bugs and arguing over who can start a fire with a rock. It's a chance to bond with other guys while questioning every life choice that led you here. Who needs Netflix when you've got mosquitoes for entertainment? By the end, you’ll either find a new appreciation for modern plumbing or discover that “hangry” is your true personality. Pack light, leave your dignity at home, and get ready for the ultimate manly misadventure! 

  • Primitive Traps

    Think you’ve got what it takes to outsmart a squirrel? Test your skills in primitive trap-making! We’ll teach you the Pioute deadfall, the Cage Trap , and even a Figure-4 deadfall—because nothing says “survival expert” like engineering a mouse’s worst nightmare. Whether you’re prepping for the apocalypse or just want to prove you’re smarter than woodland critters, this is the workshop for you. Spoiler alert: it’s harder than it looks.

  • Kerry Meehan

    I grew up in Ecuador, where I enjoyed climbing the high mountains and, to a lesser degree, tromping through the jungle and the cloud forests. I learned many tricks for enjoying the backcountry and making it back home in one piece. I began mountain climbing when I was seven years old and developed a love for living, playing and suffering in the outdoors. In college, I majored in Outdoor Leadership. I've been a mountain and rock climbing guide and a white water rafting guide. One major result of growing up this way has been that I've seen first hand the value of encouraging and discipling one another through outdoor adventure. Few things bond people together like confronting the elements in the wilderness together. Building and practicing the skills to be able to take your family and friends on adventures in the wilderness is a worthwhile way to spend your time

  • Michael Maughon

    As a kid, I loved exploring the woods, catching animals, and marveling at nature. As I grew older, my focus shifted to sports, particularly gymnastics and diving. After graduating high school, I pursued a career in the circus and had the privilege of performing in Le Rêve in Las Vegas for several years. Fortunately God had other plans and a career-ending injury brought that chapter of my life to a close, and made me go back to the drawing board of what I wanted to do. During this time I rediscovered my lifelong passion for nature and wildlife. I decided to turn that passion into a career and now have the incredible privilege of traveling and teaching others about God’s awe-inspiring creation.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

—Romans 1:20
