“…having worked in the Arctic for 30 years, I can confidently say this was the best preparation I've received for our types of remote fieldwork. There was a near-perfect mix of generalized instruction, attention to our specific needs, and hands-on practice with equipment… What made the training exceptional was Will's ability to build from his own Alaskan experience and a strong foundation of published research and statistics and then customized that to our specific needs.”
-Dr. Martin Robards, Wildlife Conservation Society

Discounted 12-hour bear guard coverage (day or night shift)
Hourly bear guard support for short operations or on-call needs
