The Survival 1 Applications will provide you with an opportunity to actually use the skills that you learned in our Survival Weekend or Week classes.  Since so may of us find it difficult to fond the time to practice the skills we learn this class will give you that opportunity - with the added benefit of having instructors there to help you in the areas you need assistance in.

Overview of the Week
The class begins with learning how to grind the flour you will be using to prepare your meals for the rest of the week.  Next you will choose the shelter type that you want to build and proceed on its construction. This shelter will be you "home" for the rest of the week since we will be "taking away your tent" after the 2nd night of class.

During the week you will be purifying all of the water you will be needing trying out various commercially available water filters and then reverting to the "old-fashion way" of boiling water for your needs toward the end of the week.

This class will be again covering Fire and Traps however in THIS class will will be using wood gathered from the forest.  You'll soon learn that finding a "straight stick" is a rare commodity indeed.

Your mess kit will be "taken away" on day 3 and you will need to rely on the wooden bowl and eating utensils you will be burning out around the first few evening campfire.  On day 4 your knife will be "taken away" and you will need to rely on the "stone age" tools you will be shown how to fashion.

One unique skill that you will learn, and is rarely taught in survival classes, is how to "field dress" game.  Your dinner on Monday night will consist of the fish that you have filleted and prepared over your campfire.  On Wednesday night you will be having a chicken dinner made from the chicken you have field dressed, plucked and cooked in an "underground oven" you have built.  Friday night you will be dining on fresh rabbit.  During the week you will learn how to "respectfully" and quickly kill and field dress each animal.  You may "opt out" of the actual killing of you meal however you will be required to field dress and prepare the animal.

"Cooking Breakfast of an egg, stick bread and water for coffee"

Other scheduled topics for the week will consist of learning primitive fishing techniques, basic tracking skills, a variety of "nature walks".  Unscheduled topics always arises sometime during the week which just serves to completely round out this unique wilderness experience.
