Recommended Gear List For Courses

Picture of The Survival University The Survival University 2/19/24 2:15 PM

Survival Gear

Colorado is a cold weather climate most of the year and with our survival school at 9400 feet, it can get frigid at night, even during the summer. Dress accordingly! Also, the sun at our elevation is intense making it easy to get sunburned. Bring sunscreen and UV protective sun glasses.

We believe in a philosophy of get the survival training before you get the survival gear. Because we know from experience that once you get some training, you will probably change your mind about what survival gear you need. For this reason we require very little survival equipment to attend our courses. But you definitely will need some basic items to attend our courses. This page is to list recommended items you might want for our wilderness survival courses. Each course has different requirements but this list will give you the most common items you should bring to our wilderness survival courses. Almost none of the items are absolutely necessary if you don’t have them and we want to make sure you can attend whether you only have a few items or you could outfit an expedition! So check out our recommended survival gear list and email us if you have any questions on survival gear!
