Wilderness Survival Fundamentals is a hands-on course designed to teach the core skills needed to survive and remain comfortable in a wilderness emergency. Students will learn how to locate, collect, and purify water, safely build and maintain fires in a variety of conditions, and construct effective shelters to protect themselves from the elements.
Through practical field exercises, participants will gain experience using both modern and improvised methods to meet their basic survival needs. The course emphasizes real-world skills, sound decision-making, and efficient use of available resources.
Whether you’re preparing for outdoor adventures, emergency situations, or simply want to become more self-reliant, this class provides a solid foundation in the essential skills needed for an overnight stay—or an extended period—in the wilderness.
