The content of the lessons in these books, and the classes that Mark teaches for my students is deeply rooted in a lifetime of experience. My students continually report that Mark's classes were some of the most meaningful experiences they have had in college, and the relevancy of the lessons has proven to be invaluable in their personal and professional lives. Rob Dussler, Ph.D., Professor of Outdoor Leadership, Young Harris College, GA Mark weaves together practical, easy-to-follow instructions with the rich history of local geography and the earliest inhabitants of the land. Becca Fernandez, Montessori teacher, Decatur, GA The knowledge gleaned from Mark's top notch training has assisted me in serving at-risk youth in Utah, teaching bushcraft skills in Tennessee, and trekking as a bear guide in Alaska. I am eternally thankful for my time spent learning the inner mysteries of the forest with him! John Gentry, Wilderness Educator, Robbins, TN
