This specialized program is designed for government agencies, emergency services, law enforcement, and military personnel who operate in wilderness or remote areas. ONE WITH NATURE Survival School provides practical, high-intensity training that enhances field readiness, decision-making under pressure, and advanced wilderness self-reliance.
Whether preparing your team for deployment, improving response capabilities in remote environments, or building resilience in adverse conditions, our training is adaptable to your organization’s structure, objectives, and threat profile. Our instructors are seasoned professionals with backgrounds in outdoor survival, wilderness first aid, navigation, and emergency response planning. Some instructors hold valid firearm and hunting licenses, allowing us to incorporate elements like tracking, animal processing, and wilderness hunting techniques when applicable.
The curriculum integrates real-world wilderness survival and bushcraft scenarios, team-building exercises, gear testing, and critical thinking under stress. Programs can be delivered at our field location in Metchosin, on your organization’s property, or in remote true wilderness settings depending on the goals and logistics.
Program Context
Government and emergency professionals face increasingly complex natural, geopolitical, and environmental challenges. From natural disaster response to operating in wilderness zones during emergencies, personnel must be prepared to survive, lead, and make critical decisions with or without gear. Our training programs serve as a bridge between technical preparedness and psychological resilience.
The focus is on practical field applications, including:
- Building and sustaining fire, shelter, and clean water
- Wilderness medicine and first-aid improvisation
- Navigation using GPS, compass, and natural signs
- Team safety and situational leadership under pressure
- Psychological endurance and risk mitigation
- Emergency signalling and extraction strategies
- Hunting, trapping, animal processing, and food procurement
The program also emphasizes sustainable interaction with the environment, where minimal-impact survival techniques are taught as part of long-term operational success.
