Thanks for checking out my author biography! My name is Tim MacWelch and I am the author of numerous books on outdoor survival and self-reliance, including three New York Times Bestselling titles (Prepare for Anything, Hunting & Gathering Survival Manual and How To Survive Anything). I'm from Virginia, USA and I have been an active practitioner of survival and outdoor skills for over three decades. My love of the outdoors started at a young age, growing up on a farm in the rolling hills of Virginia. I became interested in survival skills and bushcraft as an offshoot of backpacking as a teen—while out in remote areas, it seemed like a smart plan to learn some skills. The majority of my training over the years has involved testing survival skills and devising new ones, but my biggest leaps forward came from my experience as a teacher.I began teaching children in 1995, spending hundreds of hours volunteering, and eventually founded my own year-round survival school in 1997. Since then, I have worked with Boy Scouts, youth groups, summer camps, and adults in all walks of life, as well as providing outdoor skills training for numerous personnel in law enforcement, search and rescue organizations, all branches of the United States Armed Forces, the State Department, and the Department of Justice and some of its agencies. I have been a featured expert for CNN, Good Morning America and several National Geographic programs, and featured in many publications including Conde Nast Traveler, the Washington Post, and American Survival Guide.Since late 2010, I have written hundreds of pieces for Outdoor Life Magazine and many other publications. My current and past articles and galleries can be found at www.outdoorlife.com and you can learn more about my survival school at www.advancedsurvivaltraining.com.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
