During this introductory weekend class to the world of wilderness survival, you’ll get to experience the basics of living through a short-term survival situation. Participants will get hands-on training and practice in essential outdoor living skills such as:

• Outdoor hazards & wilderness safety
• Safe knife carving & sawing
• Principles of shelter building in the wild
• Starting fires with modern methods
• Locating & purifying wilderness waters
• Rope use & basic knot tying
• Simple aidless navigation & lost proofing
• Signaling & aiding search and rescue

In order to cover these topics, students will be given a wide variety of different scenarios and challenging activities in order to help turn knowledge into wisdom through hands-on experience. Our goal is to give you the confidence needed to survive and to be the best person you can be in the worst situation you may find yourself in.
