Part 1 of the 8 Part Wilderness Survival Series
Being Prepared Survival Skills Class serves to prepare the student for the possibility of finding themselves in a survival situation. This class clearly outlines the Eight Necessities of Survival and provides a number of memory tools to help enhance students’ ability to remember and recall necessary survival information while dealing with stress or trauma. Focusing on elements that have been proven time and again to be key factors whether a person survives in a true survival situation, the course will not only identify these elements, but also cover a number of ways to train, enhance, and develop skills and abilities to maximize your chances of survival. There will be a discussion about some of the tools, equipment, and survival gear that will assist you in a survival situation and that you should always carry with you. Topics covered also include:
