Wilderness Survival, Stealth and Beyond in LaCrosse, WI
We often dream of being called upon to test ourselves against the power and unforgiving nature of the outdoors. We also have visions of living in harmony with the same environment around us. Is survival a fight or a dance? In this class we will take you on an adventure that answers those questions. We will also address how to build both your mental and physical survival kit. What's in your kit? The tools to travel and live indefinitely among the rest of the wild: FIRE, WATER, SHELTER, and FOOD.
Increasing your self reliance opens a whole new element of self confidence. The week will start with basic survival skills and build up to transitioning from a survival situation, then to a wilderness living situation, and finally navigating back to civilization so you too can teach your community what you learned on your adventure.
