Highlights

Our Survival School is considered among the best in the northeast because we go further than just skills to teach the psychology of survival - without learning to tame your stress response even the most finely honed skills won't save you. Your instructor has over 20 years of outdoor leadership. He founded Destination Backcountry in 2011 and has since grown it into NY’s largest wilderness guide service. Dave has been featured on the Today Show, in the Wall St Journal, Backpacker & Men's Health Magazines, and many more for his for his signature ADAPT survival methodology as well as his general outdoor expertise.

About Albany

Albany is the capital of New York, a Hudson River city of Dutch roots, a grand Capitol and a bold modernist plaza of towers and a museum.

Albany stands on the west bank of the Hudson River, where it began in the 1620s as a Dutch fur-trading post called Fort Orange, and it received a city charter in 1686, one of the oldest in the country. The New York State Capitol, finished in 1899 after three decades of work, is a heavily carved building in a mix of styles with an ornate stone staircase. Below it, the Empire State Plaza, a complex of white marble towers and an egg-shaped performing arts hall from the 1960s and 1970s, is a very different statement.
