We love to watch outdoor survival shows, but would you know what to do if you were left alone in the wilderness? Join us to learn what it takes to survive in the outdoors, including how to build various shelters using only a tarp and twine, starting a fire without matches, and various methods of water filtration. Your instructor-a wilderness first responder who has logged 10,000+ miles of backpacking and 400+ field days as a wilderness guide-will answer all your questions and share the essential items you should always keep handy. With your newfound skills, you can venture outdoors with the confidence of knowing you're fully prepared!
