A canoe trip on a fast river, an epic mountain bike ride or even just a simple hike in the woods can take an unexpected turn. A twisted ankle on a solo trip, a casualty in your group, getting lost or a rapid change in the weather can change a fun excursion into a serious situation. When you are prepared for these scenarios you will feel confident in venturing out and enjoying the peace and solitude of nature. This three-hour course will cover survival priorities and planning, search and rescue, austere medical treatment, shelter building, fire starting, signals, and finally, gear selection and review. You will learn by doing in this hands-on class. Instructor Russ Kolkman is a nationally known survival expert with over 25 years of experience teaching people how to survive in the most hostile environments in the world. Registration deadline: April 17. Min. 5. Max 10.
