David McIntyre
Season 2David McIntyre is a post-apocalyptic fiction writer from rural Pennsylvania. He developed a keen interest in wilderness survival and primitive skills as a teenager and spent many of his early years hunting, fishing, trapping and hiking the Appalachian Mountains.

David has practiced wilderness survival in the Appalachian forests, Alaska, Brazil鈥檚 Atlantic Rainforest and in tropical Alpine ecosystems, just to name a few.
