Instructor

Hi! My name is Nathan Machain, also known as The Urban Aboriginal. I'll be your guide during this course. I have over a decade of bow-drill experience and eight survival-related certifications and counting, ranging from primitive-living skills, to bushcraft, to urban survival. I have had the honor of training with some of the best that the survival industry has to offer. My diverse training has made this a diverse course. As an instructor I make it a point to not let your geographic location dictate your success or failure when it comes to being able to get a fire with the bow drill.
