SUMMARY:Wilderness Survival Course
DESCRIPTION:Overview & Highlights\n\nThis is for you if: You want to develop a more comprehensive foundation and greater proficiency in wilderness survival skills over two days. \nDespite our best efforts we may find ourselves lost or injured in the backcountry where help or rescue is not immediately available and all we have to rely on is our wits\, training and attitude to make it through safely. This comprehensive and fun two-day course goes into greater detail on the essential concepts of wilderness survival that will help you stack the odds in your favor including preparation\, prevention\, attitude\, shelter\, firecraft\, craftmanship\, water procurement\, knot tying\, aidless navigation and rescue signaling.  Most survival situations resolve within the first 72 hours so\, in this course\, our focus is on providing practical\, real-world skills to use if lost or injured in a wilderness setting to help you find your way to safety by self-rescue or rescue by others. Our two-day class provides participants with significantly more time than our one-day class to practice and gain proficiency in hands-on skills such as shelter building\, knots\, knife use and fire making. \nOur survival classes are held in the Cherokee National Forest and Appalachian Highlands of Northeast Tennessee\, with primary locations in the Erwin and Hampton areas.  Upon meeting our group\, we will make the easy short hike to camp (less than ~1/4 mile) and embark on a fun-filled\, empowering and memorable experience. Lead instructor is NOLI founder and former Ranger-qualified Army officer Scott Fisher who has been teaching wilderness skills for over 30 years. All equipment provided. Suitable both for those with and without experience. Minimum age is 10.  Specific meeting location varies by class but all sites are within 30 minutes of Johnson City. Participants come away with their own bow drill fire making kit that they will have created during class. \nCustom survival classes tailored to companies\, groups\, families and friends also available upon request. \nHighlights: \n\n2 days of hands-on survival training that is comprehensive\, professional and fun\nExposure to the 7 Priorities of Survival\, including shelter-building\, firecraft\, water procurement and more\nGreater opportunity to develop knowledge and skills that will enrich your outdoor experience and help keep you safe\nA supportive learning environment\nParticipants leave with a bow drill fire making kit they will have created
