Program Description:

Dive into the world of survival with our inaugural workshop, "Survival Basics," the perfect starting point for our comprehensive monthly series. This introductory session lays the groundwork for essential survival skills, covering emergency scenarios, the Rule of 3s, and the 5 Cs of survival. Designed for both beginners and those with some proficiency, it's an engaging lead-in to more specialized topics in our upcoming workshops, setting the stage for a deeper exploration into the art of bushcraft, navigation, shelter building, and more.

Join us to begin your journey into self-sufficiency and connect with a community of like-minded survival enthusiasts.
