Course Description
The ADV Survival Standard is the second course in the Survival Standard training system and is designed for students ready to move beyond short-term survival skills into advanced primitive living techniques.
Students learn how to build durable long-term shelters, create fire using advanced primitive methods, process animals without modern tools, preserve food for extended periods, produce rawhide cordage, and develop the practical mindset required for long-term wilderness living.
This course focuses on real-world field training and hands-on experience. Every skill is practiced in the wilderness with minimal equipment, preparing students to become increasingly self-reliant and capable of living off the land.
By the end of the program, participants gain advanced survival knowledge that can be applied anywhere in the world and continue progressing toward complete wilderness self-sufficiency.
