Ultimate Survival Week
Ultimate Survival Week
Gain the ultimate skill set for the outdoors, with the popular combination of our 3-day Primitive Skills course and our 2-day Wilderness Survival course. This five day/four night training class will show you all the necessary primitive living skills to survive with almost nothing, and finish the week strong with all the modern outdoor skills in our modern curriculum. Camp out, learn amazing new skills, make new friends by the campfire, come back with a whole new outlook on the outdoors.
Dates: Ultimate Survival Week runs November 9-13, 2024 (Saturday through Wednesday) - with Primitive Skills running Nov 9-11 and Wilderness Survival running Nov 12-13.
Course Times: The 5-day class runs from 9 am on Monday to 4 pm on Friday.
Course Location: Held at our home location near Hartwood, Virginia. Detailed driving directions are emailed after enrollment.
Required Equipment: Bring food and drinks for yourself for five days, appropriate clothing and wet weather gear for the expected weather, a knife (fixed blade preferred), a tarp for shelter (6x8 or 8x10 feet, or some similar size), 100 feet of cord, a sleeping bag and a pen to take notes. This will be a lot like “car camping” and you’ll have full access to your vehicle during the course. No need to “backpack” everything in. Parking is 100 yards from camp.
Recommended Equipment: We highly recommend that you bring a tent. Some seating is available at camp, but please bring a camp chair if you have one. Personal camping gear like sleeping pads, pillows, stoves, lights and other gear are welcomed and encouraged. A full gear recommendation comes with your welcome email from us.
