Here's what Hamish has to say
TV Host, Comedian, dedicated father, and curious outdoorsman Hamish has a genuine love for nature. But like most of us, knew there was more to learn. He turned to Rick for the real stuff: the skills, mindset, and calm confidence that only come from experience. What he found was a teacher who makes survival feel simple, smart, and worth knowing.

Ricks survival course for women is amazing. We took our whole team and it was the most incredible bonding experience. Rick has an incredible amount of knowledge to pass on and he shares it so passionately! The skills he taught me can not only be used to survive in the Bush, but also as a woman in my everyday life.
And I can pass them onto my daughters. I am already looking into doing another course with my daughters as I believe everyone should have this experience!
Thank you Rick for the most incredible weekend… thank you for giving our team so many tips for survival and the space to bond. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who is considering doing it. It will change your life!

One of the best experiences I've had!
Last week I attended Rick John Peterson Bloke's Dirty Dozen course and it was exactly what I had hoped for! 😃
I learnt to start fire in an ancestral way by rubbing sticks together, celestial navigate and learnt how to trap / hunt animals.
Rick and his team are the real deal. A wealth of experience both in bushcraft, survival and from a military POV. A very humble down to Earth guy and the group of guys he selected made for an incredible group of likeminded men.
Can't wait to go and practice some of the skills I learnt, then attend the advanced course.
