About Shane Hobel(MOUNTAIN MAN)
Since he was a very young child, Shane Hobel (also known as “White Feather”) has dedicated himself to two pursuits that have merged into a truly unique way of life: applying survival skills to his love of nature, and mastering martial arts.
Shane holds a Go-Renshi Dan (5th Degree Black Belt) in the original forms of traditional Okinawan Karate, certifications in Wilderness First Responder, CPR, and First Aid, and is a Licensed Guide by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Some of his experiences include performing professional stunts and stage combat, working with the American Red Cross, and instructing martial arts and Nature programs. Shane has over twenty years of teaching experience. His studies under Tom Brown Jr. and Stalking Wolf, a Native Scout, particularly influenced his development.
Today, Shane continues his study of ancient tracking methods at the world-renowned “Tracker School” in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
