Ever wonder what you should do in a backcountry survival situation? How about how to avoid them altogether?! This workshop will give you the skills and address the psychological issues that a survivor could face in the Northern forests, as well as how to avoid common mistakes that can lead to a life-threatening scenario. We’ll cover hands-on skills like modern and primitive fire making, powerful use of the bush knife, shelter construction and survival kits, as well as the “survivor’s mind” and how to keep it working for you! The course will include an informative morning lecture & discussion about search & rescue statistics, heat loss, clothing and survival psychology before heading into the field to hone our skills.
