Training
Please note: Byron is planning to retire at the end of 2027. For this reason, going forward, the 101 class, private training, and public speaking will be his primary offerings.
The 101
Tuition: $200 for one / $300 for two
Bring a buddy and save.
Sat, 10 am - Sun @ noon
Class size: 8 max / Adults 18+
Ages 15–17 may attend w/parent/guardian
101 GEAR LIST
A thorough introduction to wilderness survival that will provide participants a fun, safe, hands-on training adventure. There will be several survival challenges, and a written test will conclude the class. A top scorer will be awarded bragging rights and will receive a nice prize. And each student successfully completing the class will be awarded a Certificate of Completion. Bottled water will be provided the duration of class. Students are reminded to bring their own food items - personal meals (dinner and breakfast) will be cooked over a campfire. And a bathroom will be available in our nearby cabin.
The 101 Class Curriculum
Seven priorities of survival will be taught: Positive Mental Attitude, Wilderness First Aid, Shelter, Fire, Signaling, Water, and Food. Skills associated with camping, proper gear selection, and proper use of equipment will be better understood. Proper planning, wilderness safety, lost behavior, and small group teamwork will be emphasized. The importance of having a positive mental attitude will definitely be stressed. Students will learn about various wilderness medical problems, such as dehydration, heat exhaustion, hypothermia, ticks and chiggers, bleeding, and snake bite. Students will become familiar with various knots, hitches, and lashings. Emergency-action shelters will be constructed by students, and each student will become an accomplished fire builder using flint and steel. Signaling techniques will be taught, including the proper use of a whistle and mirror. Students will learn how to procure water for drinking, as well as how to filter and disinfect. Students will better understand why eating bugs (not edible plants) is the smarter choice for a survivor. The contents of a personal survival kit will be discussed. And students will learn the importance of improvised equipment.
