The wilderness can be a beautiful or terrifying place, it all depends on the lens that you equip yourself with.

Our intent is to provide the skills you will need to be confident, if you find yourself unexpectedly in the wilderness, that you can not only survive, but thrive.

Finding yourself isolated from the conveniences of modern life, it is paramount to know what your true basic needs are and how to fulfill them. We believe Maslow was right with his hierarchy for your mental health and to thrive, but before you can do that you need to survive.

The principles for survival is to concentrate on the basic needs:

Health - Physical and Mental

Personal Protection - Fire, Shelter, Clothing, and Equipment

Sustenance - Food and Water

Navigation - Map and Compass, GPS, and Environmental

Personal Recovery - Contacting and facilitating rescue.

p.s. the skills and knowledge from these courses also make you look cool in most every situation.

Whether you are in the wilderness or in an urban environment, if the socio-political climate is such that you do not want to be identified by the surrounding population it is important that you blend in to the environment.

That may mean actual camouflaged where you literally can’t be seen, trying to look like the local population to you don’t stand out, or possibly something as simple as having the confidence and awareness to not appear to be a likely target.
