About Us


With over 15 years of experience EasternOPS is a year round, full service, primitive and wilderness skills school.  We specialize in instructing groups and individuals to feel comfortable in the Deciduous, Great Lakes-St. Lawrence, Acadian and Boreal regions of Eastern and Central Canada.  Unlike other organizations, we do not include philosophical or ideological components in our curriculum, we prefer a common sense, "nuts and bolts" approach to wilderness education.  By using this approach, students of EasternOPS will learn specific techniques to survive in the northern regions of Canada, particularly the Boreal and Northern Great-Lakes environment using the bare essentials of equipment and outside resources.

Founded by Head Instructor Brian Stengele, EasternOPS strives to provide the most comprehensive wilderness experience possible for for its clientele in the hope that it will bring a closer understanding and appreciation of the role of the natural world within the context of the modern urban lifestyle.
