BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS

Learn and practice basic survival skills before you actually need them.

Greetings.

Our goal is to educate people on how, when, and where to use basic survival skills should it ever become necessary to do so and to provide easy access to both the knowledge and equipment needed for this end.

We will be focusing on basic survival skills in wilderness settings.  Knowledge of basic survival skills will enhance your wilderness experience and enable you to turn a survival situation into a more positive wilderness adventure.  With a little preparation and a very few tools you will be able to not only survive, but thrive in a wilderness survival situation.  Basic survival skills begin with your attitude.

Be prepared for those unforeseen events that may leave you stranded or cut off from civilization.  Basic survival skills are fun to learn, easy to practice and help to enhance your peace of mind in any wilderness situation.

When your basic survival skills come into play, you will need to first check for and tend to any injuries incurred.  Then, you will need to assess your surroundings and equipment and learn how to improvise in the wilderness.  Learn basic survival skills now and live by your wits in a survival situation.  You can adapt your survival techniques to meet your environmental circumstances and your immediate needs.

Some of the things we will be covering are making shelters and the best places to locate them along with signaling for help, how to light a fire in the rain, sleep comfortably (warm), procure safe water and food, navigation and a host of other things to help you feel secure in your basic survival skills.

 Be a wilderness survivor, not a wilderness victim.  It all comes down to your own basic survival skills.
