Pioneer Outfitters Survival & Guide Training

Pioneer Outfitters has been training its own 

guides for over 60 years. 

"It has been brought to my attention on numerous occasions over the last few years both through my own experience as a Master Guide Outfitter and by other Guide Outfitters, friends and associates that it has been increasingly difficult to find reliable Assistant Guides that are qualified to actually guide in the field; to be competent and responsible with the client and loyal to his or her outfitter. " ... Master Guide Terry Overly

...And so. We say "good bye, good luck and we'll miss you" to Ike this morning. Ike is on his way back home to be with his family as they gather to be with his Grandmother, who is failing. It was Ike's first time being so far from any and all of his family. He said to me, "I guess I'm just not ready to be away". We all here at Pioneer Outfitters will miss Ike's smile and wit, his strong back and thoughtful nature. All of our prayers are with Ike's Grandmother and for her recovery. People touch our lives, no matter if they are passing through or part of it for a long while. We hope for the best for Ike and where ever his plans may take him.
