Wilderness Survival Fundamentals
This course is for anyone who enjoys spending time in the outdoors. We will spend the day in the woods, learning the basic needs of survival and how to meet them with minimal or no equipment. We will discuss options for basic equipment that can be carried with you to make meeting these needs easier. Our students will learn how to procure drinkable water and food, how to shelter themselves from the elements, and control their core body temperature by building fire. The course will also cover medical considerations for wilderness outings as well as rescue, should the need arise.
Required Equipment:
- There is no required equipment for this class, however, students are encouraged to bring their own gear to test in the woods.
- A lawn chair is recommended, but not required.
