THE WOODS HEALED ME
Will White — Founder of The Piked Antler Project’s “The Primal Man Project” & “Women of the Woods”
I’m Will White—a U.S. Army combat veteran, survival expert, and trauma survivor. I help people rediscover purpose and confidence through real-world survival skills that build grit, self-worth, and the ability to stay alive.
From Trauma to the Wilderness
I’ve battled trauma and unhealthy coping. True healing started when I hit the woods with intention. Nature became my mirror—no distractions, no excuses. Just honest growth through discomfort. That’s where resilience is built.
Our Philosophy
"Success after struggle breeds confidence."
Pushed past comfort, we earn the self-respect we crave. That’s why I created The Primal Man Project and Women of the Woods—to give others that experience.
Why You Can Trust Me
• Combat Veteran — I’ve held composure when others could not.
• Survival Expert — Firecraft, shelter, nav, plant medicine, and more.
• Trauma Survivor — I lead with empathy because I’ve lived it.
The Crisis We Face
Masculinity today is misunderstood. Men crave respect—but we’ve replaced challenge with comfort and lost our edge. Meanwhile, women face their own battles—striving for safety, agency, and space to lead. Both need a place to rebuild power and purpose.
