INDEX 
After almost dying on top of a mountain in his early 20s, outdoorsman Ryan Marshall decided to dedicate his time to learning everything he could about bushcraft and survival. For the last 10 years, Ryan has spent every other week of his life living in the woods, whether its +100°F (37°C) or -58°F (-50°C), facing challenges and extremes and learning along the way. His efforts have translated into Marshall Bushcraft, a show on Canadas Wild TV network, and a strong social media following (@marshall_bushcraft) that looks to Ryan to learn outdoor skills and bushcraft. Ryan lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and also teaches in-person survival skills courses to people of all ages.
