![]() After serving in the Marine Corps, Jake became a career paramedic and later a wilderness medicine instructor. The mission of SOWMAS is to combine certification level wilderness medicine courses with wilderness survival skills. So, it is our pleasure to introduce Jake Griebe, founder and lead instructor at the School of Wilderness Medicine and Survival based in Wisconsin. ![]() After all, our overarching focus at True North is all about giving students the information and training that will help keep them, and their loved ones, safe in the wilderness. Just as importantly, wild edibles are not Erik’s speciality, and he refuses to pretend that he is an expert where he is not. Primarily, he wants them to begin re-thinking, and re-shaping, the world around them so that they are better prepared for an emergency situation, and not rely on preconceived notions from silly television shows or third-hand sources. ![]() Instead, he typically discusses a long list of what he calls the “myth of wild edibles.” This is a slight overstatement, Erik soon admits to students, but he makes it to emphasize two important points. In his wilderness survival courses at True North, Erik doesn’t teach about plants as a primary food source.
