SURVIVAL 301 COURSE

WILDERNESS SURVIVAL 301 COURSE

Wilderness Survival 301 Course is the third-course series in the progression Woodsrunner system of skills, safety, and survival. In the 201 Course, students were taught how to rely more on improvisation techniques, and natural resources, and rely less on equipment to survive in the wilderness longer term and to prevent future crises.

 

This is an advanced survival course where skills will be tested in a cold climate, as you build on the skills and knowledge gained from the prior survival courses. This course then enables you to go beyond mere survival and burrow deeper into the long-term skills of living from resources found within the landscape and along the water's edge. 


If you want to test your skills and learn to provide for yourself or your family in a long-term wilderness setting this course is for you.
