The Pathfinder System
Six Sigma for Survival
The Pathfinder System is developed by Dave Canterbury, who has over 20 years of bush crafting, outdoor self reliance and primitive skills experience. As a hunting guide, Dave started thinking about what a person should have with them and what they should do in case they became lost or stranded.
He sifted through the information, put in the dirt time testing the skills and equipment, and came up with The Pathfinder System. At the base of this system is the Six Sigma approach...
Basic Survival
The Pathfinder System trains the beginner to experienced outdoorsman, bush crafter, or adventurer in outdoor self reliance, primitive, and survival skills. The system is designed for anyone who wants to learn these skills; the hunter, fisherman, trapper, hiker, Search and Rescue (SAR) and Law Enforcement professional, or anyone who enjoys the outdoors.
One never knows when they may become lost or stranded and with the invaluable skills taught by the Pathfinder System, survival of an emergency situation becomes a reality. To make sure people would have the needed equipment to survive within the Pathfinder System Dave Canterbury developed the 10 piece Kit.
Thrive
Dave firmly believes we can learn from each other and continues to be a student himself. The Pathfinder System is taught through down to earth lessons, students learn by doing and practicing the skills needed. The training is offered in a variety of ways to meet your time, schedule or budget.
There are hands-on courses, e-courses, the virtual classroom, and the Pathfinder Gathering event. Check out the information on the different types of Outdoor Classes in our Class Schedule to see which events are coming up. Most of the hands-on classes and trainings are held at our school in Jackson, Ohio; however, you won't find any buildings there, the outdoors is our classroom!
