2 Day Survival for Beginners

About

This beginner survival class is designed for students that enjoy the outdoors but feel they need to improve upon their knowledge and skills to better prepare them for their adventures into the outdoors. You will learn the minimum survival skills for being lost in the woods. We take the most important elements out of the 5 Day Outdoor Survival Skills class and condense the class to the core priorities. The survival for beginners class will cover multiple aspects of survival focusing on modern techniques with a mix of primitive skills to teach beginners to be more aware of their surroundings so that they may improves with tools that are provided by mother nature.

Food and Water

Water will be provided but you will need to provide your own food of your choice. We recommend quick field expedient meals such as freeze dried meals or MRE’s. They can quickly be made at our primitive camps and won’t slow down the learning process. You can also purchase food locally once you get here. Grocery Stores and several local eateries are within a reasonable driving distance.
