Ok, folks. This is a learning experience for us!! We want to share with you what is going on in our lives. As remote as we are, the purpose is to let you know first who we are, where we are and what is going on here. The history of Pioneer Outfitters is interesting enough, but seriously, now, is what really interests most of the folks that have commented, emailed and even called me! Pioneer Outfitters started as a hunting outfit, and quickly became more. The Survival & Guide Training came from the necessity of having well rounded guides, not only for ourselves, but the Professional Outfitters of Alaska. The Fall Photo Safaris evolved from all the non-hunting companions wanting to bring their families back for another trip to watch the Alaska-Yukon Moose in the rutt, and many of our Pack Trip clients wanting to come later in the season. The Spiritual Retreat was born out of the realization that not only is Chisana a very special place, but a thinking and healing place. The door opened for me again, after so many years, by a young girl that I was blessed to have come into my life. When that door opened, it didn't just open this time, it was blown off the hinges. In this world today, it seems that we need as much "Survival" enlightment and preparation as we can get. This is a good place, a special place and we want to share it with you all.
