SUMMARY:WILDERNESS SURVIVAL FOUNDATION COURSE
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 21\, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. \nWilderness survival: “Foundation Course”  — Led by Keith Farrar\, James Ruther\, and assorted ad hoc\, adjunct assistants. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilderness Survival Foundation Course:\n\nNot all who wander are lost\, however\, some are\, which is why learning Wilderness Survival is critical.\n\nIn this  Wilderness Survival Foundation Course\, we address the priorities in a wilderness survival situation.\nLearning what priority to address first and how to address each priority is the best way to understand what to do if you have to spend an unplanned night or two in the wilderness.\n\nEach topic is addressed in such a way that you will have a thorough understanding along with hands-on experience with that skill. While each topic\, on its own\, can be a full multi-day class\, you will be comfortable enough with what you learn at this foundation class –or curious enough — to go further in your learning experience.\n\n\nJames Ruther demonstrating how to make a survival net\n\nDue to personalized instruction\, class size is limited.\n\nWhat to bring:\nPlease bring a camp chair\, lunch (there is no time to leave for lunch)\, water\, appropriate clothing for the weather a compass (if you have one) and any personal wilderness survival items you might like to discuss.\n\nWe start the class at 10:00 (please arrive a bit early) and we finish around 3:00. There will be a very short lunch break somewhere along the program.\n\nThere are several hands-on portions\, including but not limited to:\n\nEmergency Shelter Set-Up’s\nCritical outdoor knots to facilitate emergency shelters\nFire making (modern & primitive)\nBasic Compass use\nEmergency Navigation\nSignaling for rescue\nWater Purification\nDeadfall Traps\n\nWhat is different about this class? So may survival instructors give a list of gear to carry….we teach what needs to be done\, and from that information\, you decide what gear to carry based on what you are comfortable using to facilitate each priority in a survival situation.\n\nKeith has taught this program for over 15 years and feels your confidence in what to do in a wilderness survival situation will significantly increase with the knowledge gained in this class.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning about emergency shelters\n$75.  [$55 for seniors/ students] \nLocation sent out upon registration.  \nKeith Farrar demonstrates how to turn a tarp into an emergency shelter
