LEVEL 1

BASIC SURVIVAL CLASS

You Must Be Able To Walk Through Wooded Terrain Up To 2 Miles To Take This Class
STUDENT FEE: $200.00
Free Minor with Accompanying Adult.

CLASS DESCRIPTION

This class is the foundational precursor for all other classes. It will give the student a good foundation for primitive and modern survival techniques in the following areas: first aid, signaling, body temp regulation, fire creation, shelter building, water procurement, and land navigation. Additionally, we will go over the tools that we carry as survivalists as well as discuss building a safety-first and priority-oriented mindset. Your mentality is essential to survival. We teach realistic survival and pride ourselves on hands-on training so be prepared to do some work, cover a lot of material, and probably get a bit dirty.
