TESTIMONIALS
Note from Byron Kerns of Byron Kerns Survival School and a former US Air Force SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) Instructor.  "This dude has got to be the most awesome and nicest survival guy I've ever met. Drove six-hours to meet him at his home north of Columbus, GA, visited with him three-hours, then I cruised on to Atlanta for a business meeting. Left his place freaking stoked. Jimmy is unreal at primitive fire making and was kind enough to share some of his secrets with me. He is the first survival instructor I've ever met, who after creating a coal using a bow & drill, leaves the coal on the ground smoldering and casually walks off to his car to get something. Unbelievable.
I hope that one day Jimmy and I can conduct a weekend course together for
students, his survival magic mixed with my gig on things - creating a bodacious mix of modern and primitive skills for those taking the class. What an event that could be. Jimmy has my highest recommendation for anyone wanting to learn his skills and knowledge."
 
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

From the time I was small roaming the woods in the backyard in south Alabama, I have loved the outdoors. As a teenager, I enjoyed fishing, camping and experimenting with different ways of cooking over an open fire. In 1980, I spent 2-3 days each week of the spring solo camping  in the Pisgah National Forest with a blanket, knife, water bottle, matches and some food (O.K. I know that was not very smart). As an adult I continue to enjoy the outdoors with both modern and primitive skills. I have instructed 2 week courses several years for a search and rescue school, and teach at FDR State Park. The instruction I offer comes through a lifetime of experimenting, studying and practicing outdoor skills. Skills need practice. "Plan ahead", "be prepared" and "practice skills." - Jimmy


Philosophy of Instruction


"I believe the God of the Bible is the Creator of the creation that we enjoy."
Jimmy Culpepper, Instructor

  "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,  which you have set in place,  what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?  O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"      Psalm 8:3-4;9


A previous instructor of mine has said. 'It shouldn't cost a fortune to learn to rub two sticks together.' I believe that whole heartedly.  -Jimmy
