Dust is a USMC veteran, known as the "professional caveman' for his dedication to the simple life in the wilderness. He specializes in creating tools using ancient methods and materials, tools like knives, saws, hammers, cordage, bows and arrows, axes, atlatls, and other weapons. 


Fire is the most valuable survival tool, and Donny excels in firemaking, even in the most dire conditions.


With over 20 years of primitive living skills experience, Donny traverses the most inhospitable and sublime landscapes and survives like an ancient man. Dust's profound love of ancient ways goes beyond speculation as he puts these well-worn survival methods to use in the wilderness.
