The Pathfinder School
Authorized Dealer
Founded by bushcraft instructor Dave Canterbury, The Pathfinder School is one of the country’s premier wilderness self-reliance and survival programs — no-nonsense training built on decades of real field experience. The gear that carries the Pathfinder name is chosen the same way: tested in the woods, built to keep you alive when it matters. Keep Shooting is proud to stock it.
About The Pathfinder School
The Pathfinder School is one of the most respected names in wilderness self-reliance, founded by bushcraft instructor and author Dave Canterbury in Jackson, Ohio. It isn’t a brand that started in a boardroom — it grew out of a survival school where the outdoors is the classroom and every skill is field-tested before it’s taught. Canterbury built a following of millions through his books and instructional videos, and that same no-nonsense, “does it actually work in the woods” philosophy carries straight through to the gear that wears the Pathfinder name.
Pathfinder gear is built around The Pathfinder System — a practical framework for staying alive and comfortable in the backcountry that emphasizes multi-use tools, durability, and simplicity over gimmicks. Every product is vetted through Self Reliance Outfitters, the school’s retail arm, to meet the standards of instructors and students who put their equipment through genuine hard use rather than a weekend at a campground. The result is gear that earns its place in a pack: rugged, purpose-driven, and honest about what it can do.
Keep Shooting carries the Pathfinder All Purpose Emergency Survival Blanket, a textbook example of that design philosophy. It pairs a heavy-duty OD green nylon outer shell with an aluminized inner layer that reflects up to 90% of your body heat, and adds six 2X-reinforced grommets so it can serve as a ground cloth, a lean-to or tarp shelter, an emergency body wrap, a gear cover, or a signaling panel. At roughly 5′×7′ and just 12 ounces, it disappears into a bug-out bag or vehicle kit until the day you need it — one tool doing the work of five.
