Class Description

At any time, anywhere, things can go wrong and you might find yourself in a survival situation. You can survive 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. To stay alive, you must find or build a shelter, obtain "safe" drinking water, start a fire and gather food. Survival 1 class will teach you how to build a simple shelter using natural materials, start a fire without matches, and find safe drinking water.

Nature's Supermarket is always open with a buffet of choices. Learning to gather and prepare wild edibles throughout the seasons is an exciting adventure, that includes both plant materials and animals. Then knowing how to prepare them into palatable meals is the next important step. Survival 2 class covers the three aspects of Wild Edible Plants, Wild Meats, and Primitive Cooking.

Note: For more information about this class, refer to Primitive Survival 1 and Primitive Survival 2 pages.

Together you have the whole "Shelter, Water, Fire, Food" bases covered for complete survival.

We have a swimming pond and outdoor showers, so bring provisions to enjoy.
