Hazen Audel Biography

Adventurer, artisan and biologist Hazen Audel has travelled to and immersed himself working in some of the most remote places on earth surviving in some of the harshest environments. A Kootenai and Salish Native American by descent, Audel's unique perspective on the world and his gift of understanding and explaining the landscape and communities around the world can be seen in his hit National Geographic Series Primal Survivor now in its 8th season.

By integrating himself into indigenous groups and navigating extreme terrains Audel has spent the last 30 years studying nature and anthropology in the field, integrating himself into these communities and learning from their lives and practices. In 2019, Audel brought astonishing stories of wilderness survival from modern history with Ultimate Survival WWII. From his time as a biology teacher to his work as a survival instructor, wilderness guide and naturalist Audel's teaching style has always been to educate through experience.

With a Bachelors of Science in Biology specialising in botany and zoology Audel furthered his education with Masters Degrees in Tropical Biology and Science Education. Along with hardened expertise in Scuba Diving, mountaineering, whitewater travel, his biology profession has taken him throughout the most remote areas of the Americas, Australia, Indonesia and the South Pacific. He is fluent in Spanish and conversant in several indigenous languages such as Bahasa, Quichua and South Pacific Pigin.

These experiences shape much of how Audel lives his life and his views of the world which can be seen in his work as a craftsman, professional artist and sculptor. Peppering his passion with skills learnt from artisans and communities around the world Audel has built his own home and farmstead where he lives off grid and self-sufficient growing most of his own food. With Rewilding at this centre of this work he has passionately and tirelessly through years of planting, digging and hands on building turned what was an overworked farm field into a wildlife oasis of biodiverse wetlands, forests and native prairie habitats. Taking this experience and practice he is the own owner and principal artisan of Hazen Audel Architectural Artworks.

Hazen Audel Speaking Topics

What Non Western Cultures can teach us about communication, resilience, community and failure

In a time when we are all focused on screens and AI is creating an unprecedented disturbance in our lives, are we losing the traditional skills and ways of the world that enabled curiosity and gave us fulfilment? Having travelled the world and lived a unique experience embedding himself in indigenous communities around the world Hazen Audel looks at the non western ways of thinking about what we can learn about communication, individualism and community from these very unique voices and perspectives.

In this talk Hazen takes you on a world tour and shares what he has learnt from immersing himself in these communities, often without a shared word of language between them.

By applying the lessons of resilience, courage, and never giving up that he learned from indigenous tribes, he inspires and empowers his audience to broaden their horizons and challenge their current mindsets. His tales reflect the balance between embracing the unknown with courage and maintaining a determined focus on one's goals through the power of exploration, open-mindedness, and the continuous pursuit of knowledge, inspiring others to believe that they can achieve so much more by embracing non-traditional ways of thinking.

As an award-winning teacher and charismatic speaker, Hazen has become an international star through his television show, "Primal Survivor," on the National Geographic channel. His ability to weave together humour, insight, and adventure makes him a popular speaker at awards, dinners, and conferences. Through entertaining narratives, he takes his audience on a journey to the wildest places on the planet, sharing the tribal teachings he has acquired along the way.

Hazen Audel Reviews

  • “I had the absolute pleasure of listening to Hazen speak recently. What struck me was his deep passion and love for bringing the wonder of other cultures to people, like myself, who have no access to these beautiful groups otherwise. I saw the connection of these groups through their knitted bonds of family and friends, and was compelled to rethink how intimate of connections did I have at home? I loved seeing all the similarities we shared, and also what was vastly different. Hazen showed us how these groups of indigenous people possessed such joy and closeness that can be easily forgotten or overlooked by some of us. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing his stories and am changed for the better because of the time spent listening. Thank you, Hazen!”
