Whether on a backcountry camping trip, or in an urban natural disaster area, you never know when you're going to be in a situation where your survival is on the line. Our Wilderness Survival Basics course is designed to spark your interest and give you a thorough introduction in the practices of modern survival skills and primitive living skills. What are the priorities in a real survival situation? Debunk some of the myths. Build a shelter that can keep you warm with no fire. Make a fire, with and without matches. Introduce yourself to some plants that can provide food and medicine. Join the team of TrackersNW for an informative workshop on the art and science of staying alive and even thriving in the wilderness long term. These skills have the power to save your life and also increase your enjoyment of the the outdoors. Are you prepared?

Through a mixture of hands on activities and presentation students develop a basic foundation of wilderness survival and primitive skills. Our goal is to have you complete the class and be well on our way to more advanced work.
