Intermediate

Service Description

Intermediate Survival Class 4 Day, 3 Night Course The Intermediate course is designed to prepare students for the Advanced class. We will be focusing on relying less on modern conveniences by implementing primitive survival techniques and practices that will better prepare them for longer-term wilderness living. Students in this class will experience sleep, food, and water deprivation and will be expected to Trek distances up to 10K and make fire by friction off the landscape to pass this course.

You will have limited gear for comfort- no exceptions are made, if you cannot make fire, you simply will not have it. IMPORTANT: Regardless of your experience or skill level in the woods, the Pioneer class is an intense class and is definitely a few steps above the Basic class. *It is strongly recommended that you take the Basic class before Intermediate. Facilities - Port-a-Pots are located approximately 400 yards from base camp near the parking area. Water will be available from jugs located in Base Camp. We continually check the water supply to make sure it is readily available. We do not allow anyone to remain at camp without an instructor present
