It was a good family outing. It was informative & definitely intro to wilderness survival. If electricity went out or war came to the U.S I can survive with this basic training for a week.

I loved the whole experience, especially how great it felt to accomplish making fire with a bow drill!! Jack was a great and inspiring teacher, with tons of knowledge and experience. ! Can't wait for the next class!

I really enjoyed the the Intro to Wilderness Survival. The course fulfilled its goals. Not only did we receive valuable and interesting information, the hands on was the best. Its one thing hearing or reading about something and its completely another to attempt to do it yourself. I loved the experience of building a debris shelter and I learned so much useful information regarding it. And ...it was quite an experience attempting to create fire with matches. I loved the Zen of the whole process involved before making the fire and building the fire finally was so rewarding. Our group leader Jack was the best. Actually excellent combining his education with the education of real life experience. I loved his passion. It was what made the whole experience really memorable. I have more confidence now that I will have a better chance of survival in the wilderness after taking this class. thank you.
