Learn the most important wilderness survival skills: natural shelter construction, water purification, primitive fire making, and obtaining wild edible foods. This class is a combination of practical information, demonstrations, and hands-on experience with each of the skills.

Wilderness survival skills not only provide valuable tools that can be life-saving in the wilderness, but also teach concepts useful in the event of a natural disaster. Survival skills enhance our connection to nature and connect us with our ancestral roots. In this course, you gain the knowledge and experience to meet basic wilderness survival challenges.

In this course you will:

  • Build an emergency survival shelter
  • Make a bow drill fire making kit
  • Learn about animal tracking for survival
  • Identify and collect wild edible plants
  • Purify water using rock boiling
  • Cook food in a primitive steam pit
