The Pathfinder System

The Pathfinder System was 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.

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. Dave firmly believes we can learn from each other and continues to be a student himself. 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.
