Be Prepared for Any Situation

At the Great Ape Empire, we provide high-quality wilderness equipment to our customers, but having good equipment is not always enough. You also need the knowledge and skills in how to use those tools. You need to learn how to survive even if you don’t have those tools, what if you lose them in the woods when travelling between locations? Learning to have backups (2 is 1) and how to make primitive replacement tools is vital to survival. That’s where our partnership with Dr. Teimojin Tan of Survival Doctors comes in. Dr. Tan is a Veteran of the Canadian Forces, a Doctor and a Survivalist. He was a finalist on the History Channel’s show “Alone” season 9. Together we have developed and taught realistic and challenging Basic Survival and Preparedness courses that have left our clients feeling confident and capable to go out on their own adventures with the basic skills needed to survive if the need arises and make it home safe.
