Dan Edmonds
Lead Survival Instructor
Founder of Ranger’s Ridge
Creator of the TODAY I WILL system.
Growing up at the edge of the Adirondack Mountains, Dan was always into outdoor adventures. HIs father instilled many skills in him over the years, which at the time seemed like hobbies to Dan and of little use outside the so-called "real world" he was taught in public school. Later he would find out this would be an intricate part of the very thing that helps people the most.
​
Dan is a wilderness skills instructor, traditional archery instructor, self-defense instructor, homesteader, rancher, as well as a mental health coach specializing in stress management and life purpose coaching.
​
He also trains in supporting hobbies like wood carving, foraging, herbal medicine, and likes playing ocarina and guitar.
​
With all that, its no surprise Dan's passion is to learn & teach. And it excelerated even more when he and his wife began homeschooling their 6 kids (soon to be 7). Dan found that the skills they needed in life weren't being taught at school, on the playground, or even at most modern churches. The same old failing world systems were just rebranded and repeated as they always have been. Dan knew it was his responsiblity to make sure their children weren't just thrown to the world like so many others do-----with that, the TODAY I WILL System was born.
