About the Wilderness Survival and Bushcraft Skills Program for Families
In this private program, your family will learn essential wilderness survival and bushcraft skills that will help your family prepare for unexpected situations and promote your family’s confidence and safety in the outdoors. The program covers knowledge about trip planning, risk assessment, survival priorities, safe techniques for knife, axe, saw and shovel use, shelter construction strategies, fire preparation, navigation basics and advice on how to build a family wilderness survival kit. Making use of nature’s resources as harmlessly as possible is our priority. Thus, during our programs, not a single tree is damaged.
