The founder of AKM has been washed down a river in Arctic Svalbard, cleared a polar bear rifle with a tent guy-line, and spent two days escaping through the jungle when the map said there was a way out - and there wasn’t.

AKM was born from those moments when comfort ends and instinct takes over.
We teach practical survival and navigation. Built on decades of hard lessons in wild places, for people who want to move through the outdoors with confidence, not luck.
