Primitive Traps and Rookie Filming — The Video That Started It All

This was the very first video I ever filmed when I started The Survival University. Hard to believe it’s been 12 years. The video quality’s rough, the editing’s basic, and I had no idea what I was doing  but it’s where it all started.

What hasn’t changed is the purpose behind it. Even back then, it was about teaching real skills and helping people reconnect with the wild world around them.

It’s funny looking back now and seeing how far things have come. from that first shaky camera clip to the full-blown training programs we run today.

Here’s an oldy but a goody from the early days.
