Feel free to read a bunch of stuff below if you desire:

WILDERNESS SURVIVAL is a mixture of ATTITUDE, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS and PROPER EQUIPMENT. Each component compliments the other. The knowledge component is understanding survival priorities and how to address each priority with the proper skills and equipment. Our program will teach you how to handle each priority, which will greatly boost your attitude when dealing with an actual survival situation. With this information you will learn how to put together a complete survival kit with components that you will understand how to use and that are easily acquired.

This program is for the hiker, mountain biker, backpacker, naturalist, or anyone that enjoys spending time in the outdoors. While we teach a mixture of modern and primitive skills, you will not be required to rub sticks together to make fire or build a leaf shelter, unless you want to. We approach these aspects with modern alternatives, making this program appropriate for all levels of outdoor enthusiasts.

Keith Farrar has been involved with outdoor skills, primitive skills and wilderness survival for over 20 years, teaching the same for the last 10 years. He has been a State Park and National Park Service volunteer for the last 10 years, taking kids and adults on nature walks, as well as teaching First Aid, CPR and Stop the Bleed classes to park volunteers.
Keith teaches for The School of Self Reliance , which has run for over 50 years and led by renowned author,  ethnobotanist and survival skills instructor, Christopher Nyerges.
