About the author

Anthonio Akkermans

10 books13 followers
Born in the Netherlands, Anthonio studied wilderness skills from childhood. Still a youngster himself, Anthonio established a youth-group which allowed children and teenagers to come out into the woods and learn earth-living skills once a week. This youth-group gradually evolved into a school called Wild-Live, based in the United Kingdom.

From the early days, he traveled regularly to a number of states in the USA, Yukon territories, Israel and Turkey where he learnt more native skills while teaching what he already knew. He still enjoys traveling and regularly teaches primitive skills in the most unique environments.

An active writer of articles for various publications, he is currently working on a new book "Complete Survival Shelters Handbook", due to be released this Autumn.

When not teaching or writing, Anthonio has other commitments. He teaches teenagers through various local charities and shares skills in the archaeology department at Queens University Belfast and other primitive skill expositions about how our ancestors lived their lives through demonstrations and lectures. He reproduces a huge array of artifacts for various museums, universities and television companies. On various occasions he has worked as consultant on television and radio programs. He enjoys learning new skills on travels locally and in different terrains around the world.
