Wow. Jessie is amazing. She is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about so many areas of survival. Great teacher. Day was jam-packed with practical skills, stories, concepts and frameworks that held it all together. If you have a chance, take a class with Jessie!

The course covered everything I need to feel much more comfortable in the wild! My favorite part was practicing navigation with our compasses, and I most enjoyed learning about pitch wood and using the resources surrounding us.

Jessie is an incredibly talented teacher with a wealth of knowledge and flair for life that make her irresistible to her students. I highly recommend her to any one looking to level up their survival skills and to inject some spark into their lives. This woman is phenomenal!

I've been to a lot of wilderness skills camps, and can safely say that none has impacted me as much, and in so many different ways, as the Wild Women on the Water course with Jessie Krebs and Callie Russell. I went in somewhat skeptical, but came out the other side a fully changed (and much improved!) person. I feel confident, connected, and inspired. Highly recommend!!
