Well, as some of you know, the business that I had been trying to start up has not materialized. The results are that this child is bored. Harry Humphries has come to the rescue by inviting me to a course in Wisconsin next week. There, I'll get to rappel, kick down doors, shoot carbine and handgun and do some simunitions with LEO types....gotta love bein' me!
But then what? I posted yesterday about Wilderness Survival Courses and haven't received much input. So I've taken the bull by the horns and set it up myself.
Here's the deal. 7 day wilderness survival course during the month of November. Total cost is $8750 for up to 10 people. TFL is willing to subsidize this course. I'd prefer to keep it to 6-8 persons (cost per person $1100-$1460 depending on group size). First spots will go to interested Staff as we owe them big-time.
Anyone interested, please contact me by email with the following information:
- Why you'd want to come
- How much you're willing to pay
- What prior experience in wilderness survival you've had
- Age (aproximate)
- Physical condition (approximate)
- A promise that, if not selected, you'll accept our decision and wish us luck.
If I get enough victims, er volunteers, I will book the course. If we have an oversubscription, tough decisions will have to be made on this end.
Additional information:
Training:
This will be a customized course offered by Anew. Their website is at http://www.ssurvival.com/ The course will focus on fire, shelter, water, navigation, trapping, skinning, tanning, fishing and the like.
Instructors:
All US Air Force Survival program grads.
Location:
Just east of Portland, Oregon
Day 1: Private 10 acre area.
Days 2-7: 100,000 acres of National Forest
Why November?
Because it's their toughest season. Complete with freezing nights and chilly/wet/snowy days. Face it guys, you don't want to learn survival training on the French Riviera in September. If you can do the Pac NW in November, you've really accomplished something.
Gear:
These guys pack a lot of gear and have everything available on loan. Their theory is to teach you to use it all, but they will deprive us of key elements from time to time, in order to teach primitive skills also. Gear list is available in Adobe format by downloading their registration info.
I also looked into Ron Hood's program. It's a bit more militaristic/survivalist oriented. I like these guys better...they're hardly bunny huggers in their own right. So who's in?
