OUTDOOR CLASSES

Some important things to consider are the following:

YOU MAY RENT THE REQUIRED PACKING LIST FOR AN EXTRA $25, but you still need to bring your own sleep system and food! reserve a pack with our email.

  • Classes are 100% outdoors, so dress accordingly
  • You will be required to build shelters and be outdoors extensively, so proper clothing and shoes are important, closed toed are preferred
  •  OVERNIGHT EVENTS-You will be required to bring your own food 3 meals will occur during the event, lunch, dinner, and then breakfast.
  • Classes start at 10 a.m on day one, and end at 10 am the next day.  please be at the location by 9:30 a.m to check in and do a gear check!
  • There will be water on site as well as with the instructors, but part of the experience is treating natural water, so expect to drink from natural water sources. 
  • All students will be required to sign a release of liability waiver underlining that they are aware of the risks involved in the classes and the activities they might perform.
  • This class is not intended to be dangerous, only educational and fun. However, dangers can occur whether it is weather related, animal related, or personal negligence. The instructors are trained in dealing with animals, medical emergencies and are equipped to handle any harsh weather conditions. Negligence however, is one's personal responsibility. If you do not follow instructions when performing tasks or do something not permitted and you get injured we will help you, but you are responsible for any sustained injuries!
  • Classes will not be cancelled for rain or snow 

FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS

  • MREs (meals ready to eat)
  • Ramen noodles
  • Canned foods like soup, Chef Boyardee, canned meals
  • Snack bars or protein bars
  • Any snacks that are easy to store and that won't melt
  • Drink mix packets like lemonade, hot cocoa, or instant coffee
  • Backpacker meals or freeze dried foods

Don't be afraid to get creative!!!!

Bare Knuckle Survival 

These classes are no joke in any way, we will push you in more ways than one, but have fun along the way. For this class, you will be sent a private packing list for this specific class. the class changes yearly so the list changes too. This list is not a long list, but we recommend that the biggest thing you pack is your mental preparedness. Make sure you do some research on survival before taking the class. It is more recommended that you take our outdoor survival class before doing this class but it is not required. You will be tested on land navigation, natural hunting and trapping, natural shelters, emergency rescue and medical skills. This class is for the serious survivalist, we hope you come as prepared as you can, but nothing can prepare you for this!

WARNING

You will be pushed both mentally as well as physically, so if you have any health concerns that you may be concerned about, contact us before booking!

Workshops and Clinics

For workshops you don't need anything! We provide anything the class needs! You are welcome to bring "bug out bags" or "go bags" to do some consulting or to compare with other classmates!

  • We recommend a pen and paper for any notes
  • Write down questions you might want answered with you
  • At the end of the workshop we will have open discussion for questions, comments or ideas!
