Peter Magnin
Peter Magnin has been studying survival and primitive skills since 2013. His first experience with survival training was with the Air Force’s SERE instructors before he retired from the military and started attending schools as a civilian. Early training started with Terry Barney’s beginner to advance survival classes. This inspired Peter to train under Mors Kochanski at Karamat Wilderness Ways, Winter Survival. His experiences range from living outdoors in a variety of shelters for 9 weeks under Master Maine Guide Tim Smith at the Jack Mountain Bushcraft School, to spending 30 days in the desert with primitive and traditional technologies at the Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS). Peter has taught at the first Global Bushcraft Symposium in Canada in 2019 and has been a special instructor at multiple schools across the country. As a wilderness EMT he is an expedition guide and medic for Joe Flowers with Bushcraft Global since 2019, going to the jungles of Brazil and Peru, learning from indigenous tribes. He spoke with Joe Flowers as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the 7th Special Forces Group, Jungle Warfare Symposium on jungle survival in 2022. For his future plans he will be instructing at the UK Global Bushcraft Symposium in 2022 and continues to seek opportunities to learn.
Goran Mihajlovic
Goran is our second main guide, owner of the property we base our head quarters on, and is a Colombian that lives in the jungle full time. Originally from Serbia and German, speaks five languages and lives in the Jungle of Colombia. A knife fan through and through, Goran loves to craft fine tools from beautiful materials. If you come on a trip, you will probably end up purchasing one of his exquisite knives. Have Instagram? check out his wares at tanimboca_knives on the app.
You’ll find very quickly, that our guides never quite fill the perfect label as guides, and you never fit the label as clients. By the end of the trip, we are sure you’ll have new friends, not guides, that you will always remember. Many choose to come back on our trips for repeat experiences.
