Overview & Highlights
This is for you if: You want to develop a more comprehensive foundation and greater proficiency in wilderness survival skills over two days.
Despite our best efforts we may find ourselves lost or injured in the backcountry where help or rescue is not immediately available and all we have to rely on is our wits, training and attitude to make it through safely. This comprehensive and fun two-day course goes into greater detail on the essential concepts of wilderness survival that will help you stack the odds in your favor including preparation, prevention, attitude, shelter, firecraft, craftmanship, water procurement, knot tying, aidless navigation and rescue signaling. Most survival situations resolve within the first 72 hours so, in this course, our focus is on providing practical, real-world skills to use if lost or injured in a wilderness setting to help you find your way to safety by self-rescue or rescue by others. Our two-day class provides participants with significantly more time than our one-day class to practice and gain proficiency in hands-on skills such as shelter building, knots, knife use and fire making.
Held at our rustic camp on Survival Island, participants use a handline to cross the shallow creek to reach camp under the direction of our instructors as they embark on a fun-filled and memorable experience. Class is led by former Ranger-qualified Army officer Scott Fisher who has been teaching wilderness skills for decades. All equipment provided. No experience necessary. Minimum age is 10. Participants come away with their own bow drill fire making kit that they will have created during class.
Custom survival classes tailored to companies, groups, families and friends also available upon request.
