Shelter mindset
Having the confidence to build a life-saving shelter in any emergency is paramount to your survival. Whether you find yourself lost on a hiking adventure, in the middle of a natural disaster, or when the weather takes a sudden turn—you don't panic—you are prepared. Knowing that nature provides everything you need to survive is more than empowering: It is essential.
"Understanding and applying the science behind successful emergency shelter building is paramount to your survival in the outdoors." ~ Mark Wienert
Hands-on experience
Learning to build a functioning emergency shelter is invaluable to your training in wilderness survival. As you spend more time outdoors, survival skills become increasingly important. Be ready and make your adventure an unforgettable and exciting experience, not a tragedy.
Emphasis is on shelter setup with a special focus on Pacific Northwest weather
Using the hands-on application of naturally available materials for shelter construction, we also cover shelter basics using tarps, plastic, and emergency foil blankets, during lectures and field applications.
How to build shelters
Discovering where, when, how, and with what available materials to use is an enlightening and important skill. Locating your camp in a safe location away from potential flooding, windfall, vehicles, and wildlife trails is emphasized.
Building effective shelters is not unlike making forts in the woods as children, but we add the vital element of shelter science with hands-on experience. Our expert training brings it all together for you.
