Course Description
The Hunter Gatherer is a comprehensive wilderness food procurement course focused on helping students learn how to obtain food from the natural environment.
While shelter, water, and fire are the first priorities in survival, food becomes critical for long-term sustainability. This course teaches the tracking, hunting, trapping, and fishing skills that have allowed humans to survive and thrive for thousands of years.
Students learn practical field techniques and gain a deeper understanding of how to consistently procure food in wilderness environments. Through hands-on training and real-world demonstrations, participants develop the confidence and knowledge needed to become more self-reliant outdoors
