Midwest Native Skills Institute is a non-military Wilderness Outdoors School located in OHIO, offering comprehensive classes in wilderness survival designed to teach you how to survive and live comfortably in the wilderness with little or even no equipment.

 

Classes are taught in a kind, gentle way and include 3 good daily meals (no bugs!). We focus on the knowledge of what to do and learning the real skills of "how" to do it, rather than pure physical strength. Therefore, physical fitness or strength is not required to attend any of our classes.

Each day will be fast paced as you learn a different aspect of how to acquire shelter, fire, water, and food. You will also learn how to deal with a host of other issues such as how to navigate with or without maps, as you heighten your awareness of your surroundings. 

Become a real "Survivorman", learn the real skills you see portrayed on "Man vs. Wild". You will feel empowered as you learn to make fire by rubbing 2 sticks together, make a meal from the plants you find, and how to set snares or traps for food.

All meals are included. Tent camping during class is typical; however, you can make other arrangements such as a motel stay. (See Alternate accommodations)

    4 REASONS why we're different from other schools:
1. Individual instruction (classes limited to approx. 12).
2. Various class lengths to fit into your busy schedule.
3. Easy to get to via air or car.
4. The only school that offers a Money Back Guarantee.
