and Primitive Survival Training School
The need for survival training has never been
greater. More and more people are venturing into the great outdoors. Hiking,
biking, geocaching, kayaking, skiing, snowmobile riding and a host of other
outdoor activities lure young and old alike. Subsequently, every year we hear
stories of individuals or groups of outdoor enthusiasts becoming lost and/or injured while engaged in,
what should have been, a routine and carefree outing.Additionally scores of people living along our
thousands of miles of coastlines are faced with the dangers and possible destruction from
hurricanes. Those living in the interior
States are hit by tornadoes or stranded by floods or other natural disasters. Oftentimes
these natural disasters leave people stranded for days on end;forced to make
do without the basic necessities for life : potable drinking water, shelter and
food.
Any of these situations, whether they are the result of venturing into the wild or whether they are classified as suburban disasters can have serious health or even life threatening consequences. Becoming self-reliant and trained to face and handle such situations should be a priority for everyone.
At
Our courses are specifically designed for families and people of all ages that may have limited experience in the outdoors. We’ll teach you shelter building, water purification techniques, basic navigation and direction finding, fire making, problem solving, awareness skills and lost proofing skills that can be applied to any outdoor endeavor such as hiking, biking, camping, canoeing, kayaking and, even more importantly here in Florida- survival skills that may prove to be extremely important in the aftermath of natural disasters such as hurricanes.
The One Day Survival Course has been designed for people wishing to get a taste of the survival experience but don't want to spend a night outdoors. We teach the 7 essential survival skills outoors in a safe and secure training environment with a very diversified and natural landscape. The day will typically consist of short hikes and skills training mixed with lectures and demonstrations. Class times for the day will run between 8 and 9 hours.
The 2 Day Wilderness Survival Course course follows the same basic outline as the One Day but includes spending the night outdoors. We teach all the same 7 Essential Survival Skills but in greater detail. We'll have more time to spend building fires and building bomb proof shelters.
The Primitive Workshop teaches advanced survival skills such as: making cordage, flintknapping, making your own bow drill, snares and deadfalls, making charcloth for flint and steel fire making, primitive weapons and tools etc.
Basically we'll teach you how to survive and live off the land using only those resources provided by nature. This course is a full eight hours so come prepared tospend an enjoyable but full day of hands-on practical learning.
Rest assured we do not follow or teach the exact same old techniques taken straight out of survival books that were written decades ago.
Some of our unique techniques have been developed and perfected by our own staff and are not taught by other schools.
Take a look at our course outlines then decide for yourself which skill levels are best suited to your individual needs and life styles. Our training courses are designed to be fully integrated and progressive. You can start with the one day workshop then come back later and pick up where you left off for more advanced and comprehensive training.
