A program designed for busy people! Action packed weekend courses!

FAMILY FRIENDLY! KIDS TRAIN FOR $25/KID PER WEEKEND!

This series of classes will cover all the highlights of our Standard courses, in a much shorter time frame, while still making sure you can absorb and replicate all the skills shown. This course is 100% HANDS ON and in-the-field training. No power point, no classroom, only real dirt time! And you can bring your kids for cheap too!

THINGS TO KNOW:

This series of survival courses is designed for the people that just can’t take off time from work for longer survival classes! Most people have full time jobs and responsibilities, and it's just not reasonable for them to take off work for a week or longer for our normal Standard courses. Therefore, we came up with a way to train you on the Standard course skills in a series of weekend classes. Locals can now take advantage of their close proximity to the school by utilizing their weekends for training. While anyone can take the courses, it's best suited for people within a 3-hour drive.

ITINERARY

Weekend 1: Shelter and Water

The first weekend will focus on shelter building, water procurement, and the following skills: primitive shelters, tarp configurations, hammock camping, water procurement via primitive methods, and modern equipment to carry.

Weekend 2: Fire Making

Fire making is one of the most life-saving and essential skills any outdoorsman can have, and we will spend the entire weekend honing these essential fire building skills that will work anywhere in the world. We will learn the following: primitive bow drill, hand drill, solar fires, all night fire lay, ferro rod skills, and more!

Weekend 3: Wild Plants

When it comes to food in the wild, we like to start with the food that doesn’t run very fast. This weekend we will learn all about plants! The first day we will take a wild plant walk and harvest wild plants for processing. The following day, you will learn how to cook those foods, and we will make food together as a group!

Weekend 4: Primitive Trapping & Fishing

Plants may not move very fast, but they also typically don’t contain enough calories to sustain the survivor. Therefore, we must find meat sources to sustain us! First, you’ll learn a ton of different primitive snares and deadfalls. Then, we will get into fishing tactics! We will cover lightweight fishing gear that can be carried at all times as well as more advanced concepts like spearfishing.

Weekend 5: Primitive Tools & Navigation

This weekend, you’ll get to sit down with our Caveman on staff, Joshua Hamlin, and learn the fine art of flintknapping and how to make your own arrow points. Then, we will cover some basic navigation skills should you ever find yourself without a GPS/map or compass.

Weekend 6: Scout Survivor Mini

Our 7 Day Scout Survival course is our toughest individual course by far, and we wanted to give our weekend students a small taste of that course with our newest Scout Mini course! You’ll be taken to one of our properties in the Ozarks, and you’ll live in a survival shelter and catch all your own fish for the weekend. You’ll only be allowed a knife, saw, paracord, and mini fishing kit!
