“Will assisted me with a full week of back-country fieldwork as a critical team member for bear protection in central Alaska. He was professional, well-trained, and always reliable by being on time and prepared for the job...”
-Dr. Richard Fischer, Kingfischer Consulting
Field support
o Highly trained bear-guards
All bear guards received high-quality training on bear behavior, firearms safety, and critical field skills for operating in remote Alaska.
Bear guards are equipped with a variety of lethal and non-lethal tools to manage bear encounters appropriately and minimize harm to the bears when possible.
o Comprehensive camp protection services
Including permanent guards, along with electric fence installation, testing, and maintenance.
o Risk management and safety consultations
We always emphasize preventative measures that reduce the human-bear conflicts, and are available to consult on camp design and field operations to reduce the risk of bear encounters/attacks.
Bear Guarding
o Field Safety in Alaska (1 day)
o Bear Awareness (3-4 hours)
o Bear Defense (shotgun, pistol, or rifle training; 2 days)
o Bear Defense Refresher (1 day)
o We can travel to you! Let us know where you would like to host a class.

“…having worked in the Arctic for 30 years, I can confidently say this was the best preparation I've received for our types of remote fieldwork. There was a near-perfect mix of generalized instruction, attention to our specific needs, and hands-on practice with equipment… What made the training exceptional was Will's ability to build from his own Alaskan experience and a strong foundation of published research and statistics and then customized that to our specific needs.”
-Dr. Martin Robards, Wildlife Conservation Society
