Topics:
Join us for a 9-part series where students learn about the 7 priorities to desert/wilderness survival. This survival skills class will cover the seven priorities of survival: Positive Mental Attitude, Wilderness First Aid, Shelter options, Fire, Signaling (including lost behavior), Water, and Food.
Here is some of the hands-on instruction we will be doing: creating a shelter (various kinds), wilderness first aid (caring for snake bite, bee stings, knife cuts, burns, etc), signaling (whistle and mirror), knot tieing, basic compass instruction/orienteering, fire (practice w/ a ferrocerium rod) and more.
We will also discuss pre-preparation and what you should keep in your hiking bags at all times to ensure you are prepared when exploring the wilderness.
Students will receive a survival kit that includes flint/steel, a compass, a pocket knife, signaling devices, bandana, first aid supplies, and more.
