Hire Woniya to help you take your skills to the next level

For craftspeople learning skills; Alone hopefuls applying or training for Alone; Authors and Screenwriters depicting survival, wilderness or ancestral skills; School groups; and other organizations
  • Alone: As a veteran of two seasons of Alone and the record holder for the most cumulative days on it, Woniya has a unique and in-depth knowledge of what it takes to make it to the show and stay in the wilderness long-term. She also has insights into the casting process and writing skills to help applicants best express what makes them stand out. She offers consultation on all aspects of applying and skills training
  • Writers: An avid reader herself, she recognizes that most writers, be it of novels, comic books, movies or television, do not accurately depict the realities of living off the land. Woniya's consultation can help guide authors toward greater authenticity. An author herself, she is also available for developmental editing input.
  • Skills practitioners: With thirty years of experience practicing and teaching ancestral, wilderness and survival skills like hide tanning, buckskin and leather work, fiber arts and plant fiber cordage, garment construction, shelter building, foraging, and more, Woniya can help beginners and long time learners up their skill game and answer complex questions. 
  • Teachers and Coaches. Woniya has spoken to school groups from grade schools to wilderness schools, live and via Zoom, to help inspire and educate students and teachers alike.

What people are saying:

I am a Wilderness skills guide in Sweden who arranged a call with Woniya to inspire my students on their upcoming wild living excursions. The call was really great, Woniya's enthusiasm and encouragement really inspired my students to take on challenges and make wild living a bigger part of their lives. It especially inspired many of the women that they are every bit as capable as men to live in the wilderness. I highly recommend having a call with Woniya if want inspiration for a wilder life!
