Class Description

You have learned about the Survival Sacred Order and now are ready for the next step in your primitive skills. Taking it to the next level, will give you alternates, we call it PRIMITIVE LIVING SKILLS. If you happen to get yourself into a survival situation that gets prolonged, these skills would make your stay in the wilderness more comfortable. They would be also useful if you just wanted to live more closely to the earth on a day to day basis, appreciating the earth and all it's bountiful gifts it has to offer. One just has to learn to "see" and then have the knowledge to use in a caretaker manner what nature provides for us all.

Topics to be covered:

  • Aidless Navigation - lost prevention skills

  • Hand drill - fire starting method
  • Tracking - taking it to the next level
