Dan Fisher, Instructor

After graduating from Bowdoin College Dan began working as a full-time lobsterman. When not out on the water, he studied under a Native American Elder, Waynonah Two Worlds. Encouraged by Waynonah, and inspired by the writings and teachings of Tom Brown Jr., he began an intensive study of wilderness survival skills and spiritual awareness. In 1994 Dan founded the Maine-N.H. Tracker Club, an organization that gathered to practice and teach survival skills. For over three years he wrote and published the Maine-N.H. Tracker Newsletter, a monthly newsletter with articles about survival skills, nature, and spiritual awareness. In 1997 he founded the Wilderness School. In December of 2000 he founded Beartraks.
