About Our Instructor.

Bryan Paul Hunt

Bryan Hunt is a renowned naturalist and expert wildlife tracker who lives on the edge of a natural wonderland in Calgary, Alberta. His favourite neighbours are porcupines and cougars and he can often be found leading his tracking clubs through the natural ravines of Alberta's Foothills. Bryan grew up in the wilderness in the West Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada and has a keen connection to nature from when he was very young. He was fascinated by the tracks on the ground and the types of plants and trees and birds that surrounded him. He soaked up enough knowledge growing up, but somehow it still wasn't enough.  ;

As an adult, Bryan has constantly been seeking to improve on his skills and knowledge (and continues to do so to this day). Going of the motto of Socrates ("I know that I am wise as I know that I know nothing"), Bryan constantly seeks to gain new knowledge and refine his existing skills so that he can bring you the very best training availiable in Tracking, Natural Awareness, and Wilderness Survival.
