Complete Survival

Your stuck a days travel from a dirt road and you lost your gear in a bad river crossing! Can you survive until help arrives in 3 days?

 

A real learning experience. We will teach you and support you in an great survival week of learning. Preparing you for possible survival situations in the backcountry of BC.

 

Some of what you learn cannot be taught by reading a book or watching you tube. Out there, In the woods and mountains there are more variables that can change everything than can ever be listed in a video. There are more subtleties which only practice and experience can give insight in to. We will give you the confidence that should the s*** hit the fan then you might just be all ok.

“For a man who is lost, the three greatest dangers in order of importance are: Fear, Cold and Hunger.

He may endure extreme hunger for a week, and extreme cold for a day but extreme fear may undo him in an hour. There is no way of guarding against this greatest danger except by assuring him that he is fortified against the other two.”

Ernest Thompson Seton
