The Film World

I recently had the pleasure of taking actor Josh Brolin ("W", "No Country For Old Men") out for a survival training course to help prepare for an upcoming film. He picked up the skills like an old pro.

Often times on courses, folks ask about accuracy in films in terms of survival skills. Some are better than others but below are a list of the ones that myself and my fellow instructors have enjoyed and either excel at showing the atmosphere or accurate skills (or both).

Some of these are not appropriate for youngsters.

Into The Wild
Last of the Mohicans
The Snow Walker
The Fast Runner
Black Robe
The Naked Prey
Quest for Fire
Castaway

Walkabout
Ten Canoes
Derzu Usala
The Edge
Jeremiah Johnson
Alive
Ten Canoes
Defiance (at theaters in 2009)

About Ancient Pathways

Ancient Pathways has been offering experientially-based courses in Desert Survival and Bushcraft Living Skills since 1989. Our school is designed for those seeking to develop proficiency in both primitive and modern wilderness skills.

We also offer comprehensive corporate training programs that highlight outdoor survival training for professionals, corporate groups, and companies who find themselves working in remote wilderness regions.

All outdoor survival courses are steeped in the rich natural-history and archeology of the southwest and, in addition to learning valuable outdoor skills, you will be able to explore ancient ruins and hike in some of the finest canyon country in North America.

Each survival course is light on theory and heavy on pragmatic, time-tested skills. We receive high marks from our students who say that they are amazed at the scope of practical wilderness skills that we cover and the wealth of handmade primitive tools that they walk away with.

The classroom we use for all of our outdoor programs is the Colorado Plateau. This stunning region comprises most of Northern Arizona and is the ancestral homeland of the ancient Anasazi, Sinagua, and Cohonina people whose aboriginal dwellings still dot the landscape. Survival courses are held throughout northern and central Arizona and at our outfitted basecamp near the Painted Desert located an hour from the Grand Canyon.
