Your body knows more than your phone does.

Wild Captives is a modern scouting movement for people who are tired of being spectators in their own lives. We teach archery, foraging, navigation, firecraft, knot-tying, + more… basic lost tactile skills that make you feel human + capable again.

This is about the weight of a bow in your hand. The sting of cold water. The way your body remembers what your mind forgot. We create experiences that rewire the numbness back into presence, where focus isn't something you force in a zoom meeting, but something you feel humming in your chest as you line up a shot.

From our Brooklyn archery range to wilderness expeditions to custom gear built for doing, we're reconnecting urban people to the survival skills that make you feel powerful, grounded, and part of the world again.
