WILDERNESS

SURVIVAL 301 SUMMER COURSE

WILDERNESS SURVIVAL 301 SUMMER COURSE

The Wilderness Survival 301 Winter Course is one portion of the third course series in the progressionary Woodsrunner system of skills, safety, and survival. In the 201 Course, students were taught how to rely more on improvisation techniques, 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 hot climate, as you build on the skills and knowledge gained from the prior survival courses to go beyond mere survival and burrow deeper into the long-term skills of living from resources found within the landscape and in the water. 


 

Prerequisite: Successful completion of the Wilderness Survival 201 Course

This course is a hands-on application of essential skills that challenges you to face situations in new ways. Over the course of 4 days you will use advanced navigational skills to traverse land and water, utilizing a Canoe or Kayak, all while using critical thinking skills to find new suitable locations for base camps. 

Under the instruction and guidance of our instructors, you will be required to leave the established base camp each day and paddle to a new area. Each new camp must be safe and provide for your survival necessities (Fire, Food, Water, and Shelter) throughout the duration of the course, along a river setting, with little to no equipment.
