I love teaching others what I’ve learned so they can get to the good stuff sooner rather than later. Why spend years learning something that should only take a few hours?

That’s not to say you’ll be perfect from the start, but you’ll undoubtedly have a massive head start.

Below are courses that offer a no-fluff approach to learning outdoor skills. They’re clear, concise, and self-paced. If you’d like a more personalized approach to mentorship or coaching, email me at emory@byland.co to let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll get you squared away!

Outdoor Courses

These courses aren’t yet fully developed, but they’re on the short list of ones to make. They’ll give you an idea of what’s to come so if you like one and think I should prioritize it over others, shoot me a note at emory@byland.co, and I’ll get going on it!
