Extreme survivalist, adventurer, and retired army combat veteran, EJ Snyder.

EJ Snyder is a highly decorated Army Combat Veteran with 25 years of military service under his belt, serving Ranger positions in Infantry and Airborne units.

EJ grew up in New Jersey and joined the armed forces at 19. He moved up the ranks quickly, seeing combat in both the Gulf War in 1991 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004. During his time in the Army, EJ stepped up as a Ranger Instructor, Survival & Tracking Instructor, and Drill Sergeant, earning the name “Skullcrusher”.

EJ is an extreme survivalist and employs a “Train as you Fight” approach to survival, and believes in pushing not only the limits of your environment but yourself as well. He is constantly pushing these limits and trying to continually break through the “Laws of 3 of Survival”. He has thrust himself into many extreme survival situations and environments to grow as a survivalist and pass these lessons onto others. EJ believes that his brand of survival can be dropped into any environment, with no notice and little supplies, making it out where no man should walk.

EJ still teaches survival skills, serves as a motivational speaker, and volunteers for many veteran and charity causes. EJ has previously appeared on Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid three times, TNT’s 72 Hours, and History Channel’s Patton 360, among other TV & Film projects.
