I feel your school was very educational and I think I spent my money well. The subjects covered will be helpful to me in the future. If a student receives nothing else out of this school than the experience, then it's still worth it. But I highly doubt that when a person leaves this school they will not know enough to be hired by an outfitter and have them be confident in them.

Tim you are the best teacher I have ever come across. You definitely know what your doing and you don't hold anything back when asked a question. You take more pride in what you do in one day, than most men do in a lifetime. You are one of the best horsemen I've ever met and the most knowledgeable guide I know. You're a perfectionist. Tim you have given me a chance to find myself. I'm honored & feel privileged to have been one of your students. THANK-YOU TIM you'll be remembered by me until my dying days.

This school to me is in my heart the greatest accomplishment I have ever done. To me it is the best school, I don't even have a second thought about another school. I classify you "Tim Doud" a very fair, patient man and one hell of a teacher. You are Top Notch. If there is a better person or teacher I would have to see it to believe it. The school was that and more than I expected. I have learned more than I could ever have imagined. I am proud to be a student of Bliss Creek Outfitters.

I feel that I couldn't have picked a better school. I learned a lot from the hands-on, book work & the general experience of everything. Being here with Tim makes you feel right at home while getting a good education in the lifelong dream you are about to pursue.

Bliss Creek Outfitters School I think is the best school I could have gone to. Your very concerned about doing a top job in all aspects of the school. Your very interested in teaching the things one must learn in this profession. You don't just want your students money. You want to teach people what you know, and that's a lot. Tim your very patient and you will take the time to cover everything that students are wondering about and having problems with.

I think this school is a very good learning experience. I have learned a lot about the horses and packing. Tim is a class act. He takes the time to help people and takes pride in his work. He is in my opinion a top notch person and also a top notch outfitter. I would recommend him very highly to anyone that would like to attend his school.

I think that going to this school was one of the best things I've ever done. Tim is an excellent teacher as well as a fantastic person. His patient, courtesy and willingness to help you if you need it. He covers material thoroughly and doesn't move on until you got it. I learned so much from Tim at Bliss Creek Outfitters All the success I hope to enjoy in the future, I owe to both of them. Bliss Creek Outfitters Guide School is really #1 for those who want to learn.

I think this was the best investment I've made yet. Tim was nothing but professional all the time. The instruction was great including the guest speakers. It really helped me decide what I'd like to do. A few people told me I was wasting my money, but I don't think I could of learned and experienced what I have any other place. It was Definitely the best school I've ever attended. Thanks for taking me.

I would bet a months pay that there are no other schools more qualified to teach the outfitting business than Tim of Bliss Creek Outfitters. The care that goes into their stock, equipment\, tack, and all the gear that makes a business run says it all. The #1 thing you learn here is care for the animals first then you can worry about yourself. I would recommend this school over anyone's, hands down. Bliss Creek has been an experience of a lifetime.

I learned exactly what I came here to learn. I'm leaving with the confidence to perform the skills required of a guide and maybe someday an outfitter.
Tim does an excellent job of teaching guide skills and makes sure you know these skills when you leave the school. My main fear was the school ending up being a way for the outfitter to get his camp set-up and have lots of free help, there was absolutely none of that. Anyone who goes to this school can leave as a very capable guide or wrangler.

The school was very informative and covered a lot of topics in a short period of time. If there was any problems along the way Tim made sure we understood it before he carried on. I feel that after I went through the school that an outfitter could assign me to a task and I could handle it in a suitable and five weeks ago I had no clue what to do. Great school, a must for any person would want to pursue a career as a guide or outfitter. Could not have asked for a better place to go and learn on how to be a professional.
