John Schneider
John has been hunting the wooded hills and wetlands around his Alberta home since he was very young. Grouse, squirrels, and hares were the primary targets at the beginning of this wild food journey. Hours of childhood imagination following the tracks and trails of the boreal forest, a piece of folded tinfoil, and a pack of matches in his backpack, calcified a passion within John's personality to pursue wild food ingredients. This became a driving force within John for the rest of his life.
As an adult, John spent more than a decade professionally outfitting and guiding. He has published numerous articles for international publications over the years and has appeared in hunting and fishing-related television, video, and book productions throughout his adult life. More recently, John has been a part of the main cast of the award-winning video series "From The Wild", produced by Kevin Kossowan.
