About your instructor
Clancy, the founder of Way-finder field skills, grew up doing multi day hikes with his mother in the Tasmanian wilderness. As a teenager and young adult, if he wasn’t somewhere in the mountains of Tasmania then he could be found climbing at a rock face, fishing a wild river or riding a mountain bike trail.
This love of adventure led Clancy to join the military in 2003 where he served for 13yrs in both regular infantry and special operations. During his time in the Army he successfully completed 3 sniper qualifications- basic sniper course, advanced sniper team leader course and special forces sniper course. All 3 of these courses tested his skill and ability in the field environment to their utmost and created an exponential growth in knowledge and comfort in the bush.
Those skills are underpinned by one thing - pinpoint accuracy in the art of navigation.
