Guided Survival Trips

Our guided survival trips are designed to gently but firmly teach you how to survive in the wilderness. Yes, you will learn how to take care of yourself in the woods, but more important, this will lead you to be more self-sufficient and therefore empowered. These trips are not typical guided trips; these are teaching trips and when it comes right down to it, survival is hard work. Don't plan on coming home well rested. Trips are run Monday to Friday. Hunter-gatherer food will be provided. Gate fees, licenses, and travel expenses are extra. All hunting, fishing, and trapping laws will be followed. Groups of up to 6 persons can be accomodated. Trips are run by Registered Maine Guide Mallory L. Stephens. You may contact him at mallorystephens(at)yahoo.com or call (207)646-1856.

Group rates are available.
