Shelter mind set
Natural materials foraged in the surrounding landscape provide emergency materials for shelter. Or we utilize existing shelter such as tree's, rock overhangs, a hollow log, minus the Bear, of course.
Understanding and applying the science behind successful emergency shelter building is paramount to your survival in the outdoors.
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 set up with a special focus on Pacific Northwest weather
Using hands-on application of natural available materials for shelter construction. We will also cover shelter basics using tarps, plastic, emergency foil blankets, during lecture and field application.
How to build shelters
Learn where, when, how, and with what available materials is an enlightening and important skill. Locating your camp in a safe location away from potential flooding, windfall, vehicles, and wildlife trails are covered.
Not unlike making forts in the woods as children; but with the added elements of shelter science and hands-on experience. And of course, our expert training to bring it all together for you.
