Learn a wide variety of modern outdoor survival skills in our 2-day Wilderness Survival class!

We’ve been offering this class for over 25 years and it a top recommendation for all outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re a day-hiker, backpacker, adventurer, or you just want to be more comfortable in the woods - this two day class will teach you all the foundational and intermediate skills and knowledge that you would need to be self-reliant in the outdoors using a small amount of modern outdoor equipment.

This hands-on class is held entirely outside at our private woodland training ground. You have the option to do the full two days of training (and camp onsite overnight) or you can take the first day of class as a stand-alone training - the Modern Survival Crash Course (9 am to 5 pm, $149 per student).
