Wilderness Survival

  • This is a HANDS-ON class.
  • Topics include survival priorities, shelter construction, fire starting techniques, knots, map and compass, foraging and plan recognition, survival first aid and more.
  • Stop the Bleed certifications is included with the first aid portion of class.
  • Your foraging and food gathering skills are put the test.
  • You'll experience constructing your own shelter from found materials and enjoying a night under the stars.
  • Friday night is camping on your own. There is no charge for camping in the classroom area.   Please bring a tent and your camping equipment.  If you choose to 'rent' a space in the park, it is at your expense.
  • Personal items, a 'Nalgene' type water bottle and camp chair are a MUST!
  • I'll feed you Friday night and breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning.  It won't be 3-star Michelin, but it will keep you alive! Saturday supper is what you can forage or scavenge.
