The Basic Survival Course (BSC) is designed to help those who have little or no experience in survival, or bushcraft, or even if you have never been camping, this course is for you. This one-day course is relaxed, with little to no stress. We are in the business of teaching, not testing. Taught by a former US Army Green Beret, this course will give you the tools to survive and the confidence to use it.
We will cover the basics of survival theory, and how to plan and develop various levels of kits from what you will carry every day to full-blown end-of-the-world disaster kits. We will work on how to find, create, and purify water using various approved methods. We will learn how to build simple shelters with what you can find on the ground, and with minimal resources. We’ll finish with food and fire. You will learn a few simple means of obtaining food in the wild from fishing to snares. You will learn various primitive and modern methods of fire starting without matches or lighters.
As a basic course, do not worry about bringing any items. If you have stuff you want to test and work with then by all means, please bring it and we’ll evaluate any kit or item you may have that you are concerned about. If you have never done anything like this before, then just bring a notebook and work with the items I have and determine what you may like or not like. Items that you do like I can assist with where to buy them online.
I’m passionate about having the ability to survive, thrive, and provide, and look forward to sharing this information with you.
