Survival 101

You don't have to be the strongest person to make it back alive. You simply have to be the strongest willed person, willing to adapt to the situation you're in and have a set of skills that you've practiced before needing them. Put those three things together, and you'll have the best opportunity to make it back home alive!

Skills Practical

During this class, you'll see a demonstration of a wide variety of fire making skills, water purification methods, shelter building, trap building, outdoor cooking,  wilderness first aid and so much more.. Then you'll put them to practice with hands on time yourself. The class will be held Fri December 11th to Sunday December 13th. about an hour North of Cincinnati.

Where you will be

You will be out in the woods. It will be cold (It will be December in Ohio). You will need to bring a water bottle and a good solid knife (or more than one if you'd like).  Bringing your tent, hammock, sleeping bag, etc. is all required. You will be outside from Friday until Sunday. Dress for the weather (Rain, Snow, Cold, Wind) we will be holding class regardless of weather (unless it gets ridiculous and is a health or safety issue).
