Frank has been interested in the outdoors all his life. Growing
up roaming the hills and mountains of Armagh, the Mournes and the
Cooley peninsula, he acquired his first canvas ridge tent at the
age eight. He is a fully apprenticed craftsman in metalworking,
and has a special interest in Knife making. He has worked as a
mechanical engineer for many years.
Frank has traveled extensively in Australia and the United
States and experienced many aspects of bushcraft, survival and
wilderness travel in these countries. He is a qualified Emergency
Medical Care First Responder, with extensive experience in
managing and recovering from large scale medical and industrial
emergency situations.
He has been interested and practiced bushcraft and survival for
more than 20 years. Having reached this point, Frank believed that
it was time to pass on his skills and experiences to others. Frank
spends every spare minute he has in the woods and mountains
practicing his skill and just being closer to the natural world.
