Course Itinerary

Day 1

Wilderness Survival

On day 1, we will jump into basic wilderness survival with an emphasis on stealth based survival. Simply meaning, survival skills that can be used on the run while being chased.

Day 2

Tracking/Counter Tracking

Day 2, we will begin to equip you with basic tracking skills. If you know how to track, then it gives you a basic understanding how to keep people from tracking you in a wilderness setting. You'll work in tracking teams to move through the basics of man hunting.

Day 3

Surveillance/Counter Surveillance

Day 3 will focus exclusively on urban surveillance tactics. How to detect surveillance and evade it. You'll work in surveillance teams tracking each other in vehicles and on foot throughout the city.

Day 4

Escape & Evasion

This will be the first day you begin learning how to pick locks, remove cuffs with improvised tools, how to conceal SERE tools, and how to escape the most common restraints you would be detained with.

Day 5

Knife Fighting

You'll quickly learn the basic of edged weapons attacks and defense. We have a custom system designed to show you all the relevants moves you need to know in a very short period of time that can be replicated under stress. We will also cover how to disarm people carrying firearms.

Day 6

Interrogation Phase

Toughest part of the program by far. You will be OC sprayed, stun gunned, treated harshly, and interrogated. This is a mock kidnapping exercise where you'll be taken against your will at gun point and forced into a detainment area. Its very difficult, but you can opt out if you so choose and only want to practice skills.

Day 7

Urban FTX

After you escape your captors during interrogation phase, you'll escape into the city and be on the run from trackers for 24 hours. You'll have to social engineer and use trade craft to manipulate your basic needs from locals so that you can get to your exfil point, which concludes the class.
