This is our two-day course for basic wilderness and desert survival skills.  During this course, students will learn what factors are most important during a survival situation and will develop the skills required to overcome typical wilderness challenges.  Students may find this course to be physically challenging, however it is designed so that the average person can successfully complete all events.  Contact us if you have questions about the physical requirements.

This is a minimum equipment course!  We will provide a recommended gear list after registration.

What Should You Expect?

This is a two-day course.  We will meet early and return late.  Students should expect to walk several miles each day and to sleep in a shelter constructed of local materials.  Tents and sleeping bags are not permitted for this course.  All food will be provided, although it will be much less than most students are accustomed to.  This course is strenuous but not impossible, and our main focus is on skill development not testing you physically.
