General Survival

General Survival

Our General Survival course will prepare you for a variety of situations. A number of things can occur at any time (emergency or not) and having survival tools, skills, and the right mindset can mean the difference between life and death for you or another. Learn to stay alive, remain calm, and adapt to conditions you may find yourself in. With a general knowledge of survival, you can feel more confident and secure in an often unpredictable environment.


Learn an array of useful skills encompassing our 7 cores of survival:

  • Insulated Shelter Building
  • Fire by Friction/Building Proper Fire Structures
  • Water Procurement and Filtration
  • Foraging/Hunting/Preparation of Food
  • Tracking and Trailing (Wildlife)
  • Movement/Outdoor Ergonomics
  • Environmental Awareness

Emergencies happen during the shortest journey, close to home or even at home. You may need to apply standard survival principles to keep yourself or others safe. We provide you with the essential skills/tools you’ll need to adapt to the situation at hand. With hands-on experience, our general survival course will help you feel more prepared for a sometimes unforgiving environment.

Build confidence through the application of skill and knowing you can help the community if need be. Knowledge of general survival builds a secure connection between you and the Earth, establishing an opportunity to care for yourself and future generations. From here, feel more comfortable on your next journey.
