Establishing The Fundamentals: Course Overview

We developed this course to introduce the public (persons of all ages and physical abilities) to critical survival skills, and to give students a high quality introduction to hands-on survival training. If you are looking to become more independent, competent, and safe in the outdoors, then we want to give you a good start. On this course you will train hands on in: 

*Fire making: Learn what it takes to make a fire in challenging weather conditions. 

*Water purification: Learn "gearless" water purification as well as common purification and treatment measures.

*Shelter: Construct an all weather survival shelter.

*Emergency signals: Learn improvised as well as emergency signaling methods for getting rescue fast.

*Exposure: Learn to identify and treat hypo/hyperthermia in the field. Exposure is the #1 killer in an outdoor survival situation.

*Review the most common outdoor emergencies and learn how to avoid them. Learn to not make the "easy" mistakes.

*Readiness: Learn how to prepare an emergency kit for the most common emergencies encountered in the field. 

*AND MORE!
