Meet Your Instructor

Hello! I'm Matthew Hunter. When I started camping, hiking, and learning survival skills, I spent years sorting through countless books and videos, learning without a clear direction, with the pain of my own mistakes as my biggest teacher.

I wasted TIME learning impractical skills, wasted MONEY on equipment I didn't need, and spent many MISERABLE nights doing things the WRONG way.

In-person survival classes were a big help, but they were expensive, and most only scratched the surface on what I wanted to know about the outdoors.

With this course, I've put together exactly what I wished I had when I was learning: A clear, concise guide that takes you step-by-step through the most important, practical skills for traveling and surviving in the outdoors.

This course was designed to supercharge the learner with knowledge on almost every major topic surrounding outdoor survival, covering a breadth of information that would be impossible to cover in a typical weekend survival course.

There's no need to frustrate yourself learning outdoor skills on your own like I did. A better alternative is here. 

Frequently Asked Questions

"The course Matthew has created is, without question, one of the most comprehensive and detailed programs available. I have been studying Bushcraft, Wilderness Survival, and General Outdoor skills for over 25 years, teaching those skills for over 15 years. I was very pleased with the incredible detail Matthew presents in his course. This detailed program will allow the student to become very confident in their knowledge of outdoor skills."

"Legacy Wilderness Academy's master course helped fill the gaps in my outdoor knowledge and has better prepared me for the activities I love. There is definitely something for everyone in this course. Whether you are an avid outdoors person or just getting started, this course will level you up from where you are currently. Matthew knows his stuff and is able to communicate his vast knowledge in a way that is easy to understand and retain. I can't recommend this course enough."

"I honestly can't speak highly enough of the results I experienced after taking this course. Mr. Hunter is really good at making something easy to learn for someone who's never learned it before. The fire making videos were especially helpful. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone I know. It should be a staple in schooling."
