About

From a young age I was drawn to the woods. My mom taught me how to hunt and fish, my dad taught me about hiking and backpacking, and my best friend and I spent most of out days in the woods around our houses building shelters and practicing outdoors skills. In those days we didn’t have YouTube, Google, or the Internet for that matter. We had books that we checked out from the local library, and we learned by trial and error.

As I got older I continued to expand upon those early life lessons. I went on many adventures, worked some once in a lifetime jobs, and now seek to share what I have learned over the years. Knowledge is meant to be shared.

My name is Chris Thorne, and this is Black Spruce Survival. Your home for bushcraft, outdoor survival, and wilderness safety!
