My name is Jamie Burleigh.

I am a survival instructor now teaching outdoor skills and self-reliance through online courses and workshops.

The training I create provides students an opportunity to learn at their own pace from the convenience of their own home or classroom.

​

During this process, I document and share the journey of self-discovery and independence along the way.

​

This is my story.

Self-Reliance

​

Being self-reliant is presented best by having the ability to take control over your life, being motivated from within, and being able to take care of yourself.

I strive daily to achieve these attributes, that's why "Seeking Self-Reliance" was the perfect title for the website.

***Cooking, canning, and the preservation of food is a skill literally worth its weight in gold. If we are not foraging, growing, or gathering our own food supply, we are at the mercy of others to provide it for us.

Survival

The word survival is subjective. It can be used as an expression or term. This means the definition of the word survival will vary depending on the circumstance.

Basic human needs will never change. 

Survival is simple. Take care of your

needs and just don't die!

​

Don't overcomplicate the process.

Simply prepare for the most likely life-threatening situation that you may encounter. Then add survival redundancies to strengthen weak areas in your strategy. REPEAT.

This plan is direct and effective. I'll share more here as I grow-

​

***I keep survival training simple by teaching things that will get you home alive quicker, so you can get back to livin'.

Outdoor Skills

Outdoor skills can be classified into 3 distinct categories. 

Necessary Activities include but are not limited to; gear selection, packing, and conveyance, striking camp, how to make fire, cooking, and camp etiquette.

Social Activities include but are not limited to fellowship, song, and storytelling. 

Campcraft includes but is not limited to; crafting camp accouterment, practicing bushcraft and wildcrafting techniques to build useful camp structures, foraging and fishing to add to the pot, and tracking skills- to name a few.

***There are many lessons when it comes to camping and bushcraft...All great opportunities to learn valuable outdoor skills. We do that too-AND share them with you!)
