With 34 years of proven teaching experience, ALSS is one of the oldest professional survival schools in the United States.

We're a small school by choice, which allows us to provide our students with a higher standard of training integrity. Our focus remains on getting better - not bigger - and the results show in the performance of our students.

Arizona’s incredible terrain variation allows us to teach courses as diverse as desert survival to winter camping. ALSS field courses are taught in the wilderness under a US Forest Service Permit allowing for optimal realism and authenticity. Limited enrollment ensures you personalized instruction and maximum adventure.

At ALSS, we're dedicated to your safety by teaching honest, comprehensive survival training. Please view my resume, client testimonials, training advantages, and media achievements. If you have questions about the ALSS experience, contact us. We look forward to training with you!
