Enhance your wilderness experience with our Wilderness Survival Course, designed to equip you with essential survival skills such as maintaining body temperature, hydration, consuming calories, resting, navigating, signaling for help, and effective tool use. This foundational 4-day/3-night course will not only prepare you for any environment but also serve as a stepping stone for our other courses, helping you become a self-sufficient and nature-reliant individual. Gain confidence and competence in the wild with our adaptable wilderness skills, applicable in various locations across the globe.
This wilderness skills course is designed for individuals to learn from an experienced instructor in a controlled environment, ensuring safety while mastering these essential skills. By the end, students will gain newfound confidence to navigate the wilderness independently. This course goes beyond basic survival skills and focuses on a comprehensive set of techniques to enhance your experience in the wilderness, all while prioritizing your safety. Although survival skills are often not directly taught, they are indirectly addressed, preparing students for potential emergencies.
Regardless of experience level, the Wilderness Survival Course offers essential training to build a strong foundation for subsequent courses like the Bushcraft Skills Course, Primitive Survival Course, and Winter Survival Course within the larger GB2 System of Training. The course's unique, specific, and methodical curriculum is designed to prepare students with the necessary skills, making it the perfect prerequisite for future courses. Courses from other schools and instructors cannot be expected to provide the same level of specificity as the Wilderness Survival Course and do not fulfill this requirement.
This course employs a progressive method of instruction, moving from "crawl" to "walk" and finally to "run." Initially, students will be guided by an experienced cadre but will eventually be expected to showcase their mastery autonomously through Practical Applications. Ultimately, students will be tested under varying degrees of pressure to confirm their competence.
