A lifetime in bear country.
18 years guiding people through it.
I'm Daryl — a retired grizzly bear viewing guide, professional naturalist, textile artist, and solo sailor. I grew up in bear country. That's where the wisdom comes from — not a textbook, but a lifetime of paying attention in wild places.
For 18 of those years I guided people safely through grizzly territory. I know what it takes to move from fear to presence — and I've spent the years since turning that into courses, training, and community for people who want nature to feel like home.
Earned in the field
"This training opened my eyes to the behaviour of the bears. I feel very fortunate that it helped me not to impede what the bears were doing — because I watched other people in the area affect the bears' behaviour."
