From Battlefield to Wilderness: The Journey of Donny Dust
A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Donny has become renowned as a "professional caveman" due to his commitment to a minimalist lifestyle in the wilderness. With a focus on crafting essential items from scratch, Donny creates tools like knives, saws, hammers, and cordage and so much more. His extensive experience, spanning two decades, includes surviving in diverse environments such as the jungles of Asia and South America, the expansive regions of Africa, and the mountainous terrains of North America.
In his military career, Donny served in combat zones as a counterintelligence/human intelligence agent and infantryman, where he honed his survival skills. After leaving the Marine Corps in 2011, he dedicated himself to teaching Department of Defense personnel the skills he had mastered. Today, Donny runs Paleo Tracks Survival, the leading survival and wilderness self-reliance school in Colorado, drawing on his nearly twenty years of expertise in outdoor survival and primitive living.
When he's not teaching, Donny can be found exploring the remote regions of the Rocky Mountains and the Chihuahua Desert. His expertise extends to the TV and film industry, where he serves as a technical consultant on survival and primitive living. Donny has appeared on popular shows such as Alone and Alone: The Beast on the History Channel, Mud, Sweat & Beards on the USA Network, and First Man Out on Amazon. Donny continues to share his knowledge and passion for primitive living.
