Pushing 25 kilometers into the rugged sub-alpine of Vancouver Island, wilderness instructor Vitaliy Svetlichnyy details a raw, three-day expedition of self-reliance, camp craft, and the pivotal first harvest of his Karelian Bear Dog, Umka. - [Survival Skills vs Overconfidence: The Case of a YouTuber Freezing to Death](https://owncorp.ca/survival-skills-vs-overconfidence-the-case-of-a-youtuber-freezing-to-death/): A Belgian YouTuber, known for solo wilderness treks died in a snowstorm in Swedish Lapland. Despite having multiple experiences on his own in the outdoors, he was ill-prepared for the extreme cold and heavy snow. He was found frozen to death not far from his tent, with only a sleeping bag and a toothbrush in his backpack. This tragedy highlights the risks of wilderness challenges and how psychological tendencies, like optimism bias, can cloud judgment. - [Outdoor Survival - Facing the Unexpected in the Wilderness](https://owncorp.ca/outdoor-survival-facing-the-unexpected-in-the-wilderness/): As a society, we have become more and more dependent on technology. With a few clicks or taps we can have pretty much anything delivered to our doorstep from a bag of chips to the latest mobile phone. In a society where convenience and instant gratification is often valued, outdoor survival offers a refreshing contrast where we can step outside of our comfort zone and develop skills that promote self-reliance which is a great avenue to build our self-confidence. - [Avoid optimism bias in the wilderness - be realistic.](https://owncorp.ca/outdoor-enthusiasts-owncorp/): Most of us tend to live our lives comfortably without needing to worry about potential predicaments and unforeseen situations. We surround ourselves with people and things that we are comfortable with and find security and happiness with that. It’s not that we consider ourselves to be lucky individuals who stroll through life without anything bad happening, it’s more to do with the fact that for some reason we feel overly confident that unfortunate events will not happen to us. We easily see this in real-life stories of outdoor enthusiasts who never expected anything bad to happen such as hikers who, dressed for a hot summer’s day, decided to hike up a mountain, got lost and found themselves in a snowy environment. - [Outdoor Enthusiasts Are Not Prepared](https://owncorp.ca/f30lw8wlkfb23d81hxuzr5wvtawkqt/): Search and Rescue incidents have risen dramatically. How prepared are you for the outdoors? If we want to embrace nature and explore it fully, we should do so responsibly. Optimism bias is real and no one is invincible. Unexpected situations can arise anytime. Be prepared and develop not only your outdoor life skills but critical thinking too so that you can be truly confident in nature. - [Should we let our children handle bushcraft knives and axes?](https://owncorp.ca/outdoor-kids/): It is true that sharp tools such as knives and axes can be dangerous if used inappropriately. However, the skills involved have a much greater benefit to children. Parents often worry about the mess or mistakes kids make and in turn take over completing tasks they consider to be ‘complex’ or ‘unsafe’. Parenting out of fear and delaying the use of these tools helps no one. ## Pages - [Outdoor Education Project – Crown Land Application](https://owncorp.ca/outdoor-education-project-crown-land-application/): Focused on public safety, wildfire prevention, and responsible outdoor education. - [Blog](https://owncorp.ca/blog/) - [Government, Emergency Services & Military Survival Training](https://owncorp.ca/training-for-organizations/government-survival-training/): This specialized program is designed for government agencies, emergency services, law enforcement, and military personnel who operate in wilderness or remote areas. - [Bushcraft School Workshop – Outdoor Education for Youth](https://owncorp.ca/training-for-organizations/school-workshops/): The Bushcraft School Workshop from ONE WITH NATURE Survival School is a dynamic outdoor education program designed to bring survival skills, critical thinking, and teamwork into the learning journey of your students. - [Team-Building Training - Corporate Adventure](https://owncorp.ca/training-for-organizations/team-building-training/): At ONE WITH NATURE Survival School, we specialize in outdoor team-building training that pushes groups to collaborate, problem-solve, and lead—while immersed in the natural environment. - [Advanced - Custom Family Self-Reliance Training](https://owncorp.ca/family-programs/advance-custom-family-survival-training/): The Advanced – Custom Family Self-Reliance Training is designed for families who are ready to take their wilderness survival and bushcraft skills to the next level. - [Intermediate - Life in the Wilderness for Families](https://owncorp.ca/family-programs/intermediate-family-wilderness-program/): This intermediate-level private family program is designed for families who have already completed our introductory survival training. - [Novice - Family Program](https://owncorp.ca/family-programs/novice-family-wilderness-survival/): This two-day private family program is designed to deepen your family’s practical knowledge and self-reliance in the outdoors. - [Introductory - Family Program](https://owncorp.ca/family-programs/introductory-family-survival-program/): The Introductory Family Program is designed to introduce families to essential wilderness survival and bushcraft skills while fostering teamwork, resilience, and safety in the outdoors. - [Custom Wilderness Survival Training for Groups](https://owncorp.ca/private-custom-wilderness-survival-training/group/): Our Custom Wilderness Survival & Bushcraft Programs are designed for families, friends, schools, teams, and organizations seeking private, purpose-driven outdoor experiences. - [1-ON-1 - Self-Reliance and Bushcraft Skills](https://owncorp.ca/private-custom-wilderness-survival-training/1-on-1-self-reliance-bushcraft-skills/): This highly personalized survival training is designed to meet your unique goals, schedule, and experience level. - [Private & Custom Survival Training](https://owncorp.ca/private-custom-wilderness-survival-training/): Flexible 1-on-1, group, and special needs wilderness training tailored to your goals, pace, and comfort level. - [Free – Adults](https://owncorp.ca/adults-programs/free-wilderness-survival-program/): The Free Wilderness Survival Program for Outdoor Enthusiasts was created to make outdoor adventure safer, more informed, and more inclusive—especially for individuals and families who may not have the means to invest in formal survival training. - [Advanced – Survivalist Mindset](https://owncorp.ca/adults-programs/advanced-survivalist-mindset/): The Survivalist Mindset program is a very serious practical survival program in the real wilderness. - [Intermediate – Living in the Wilderness and Bushcraft Skills](https://owncorp.ca/adults-programs/intermediate-wilderness-survival/): This survival program focuses on implementing knowledge and skills from the Outdoor Life and Bushcraft Skills programs. - [Our Instructors](https://owncorp.ca/about-survival-school/our-instructors/): Understand your origin - get close to nature. - [Novice 2 – Practical Outdoor and Bushcraft Skills](https://owncorp.ca/adults-programs/novice-2-practical-bushcraft-skills/): This program is an intensive practical course which will allow you to practice and build on the skills you learned in the Novice 1 program. - [Novice 1 - Outdoor Life and Bushcraft Skills](https://owncorp.ca/adults-programs/novice-1-outdoor-life-bushcraft-skils/): This program focuses on safety outdoors and entry-level wilderness survival and bushcraft skills. - [My account](https://owncorp.ca/my-account/) - [Cart](https://owncorp.ca/cart/) - [Shop](https://owncorp.ca/shop/) - [Contact](https://owncorp.ca/contact/) - [About](https://owncorp.ca/about-survival-school/): We believe that we are all part of nature, and therefore it is only natural to be one with it.
