This Survival Course is designed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to survive a basic 72 hour lost situation. Through comprehensive lectures and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to build shelters, start fires, purify water, signal for help and stay warm using their everyday carry items and how to improvise using an included "class bag”.
This class will not be your common survival class, but a class that makes you think and keep you ahead of the game. Don’t worry -  this isn’t a bootcamp style class where we find pleasure in punishing our students but instead an opportunity for students to practice their skills in realistic simulations and conditions. Once class ends for the day students can choose to camp in comfort or sleep in your debris hut.
The goal is to provide students with the confidence, skills, and tools they need to survive in any situation.

Potable water is available on the property.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
Our Address: 1150 Carruth Rd Watkinsville, GA 30677
Look for the signs directing you to the second driveway on your right next to the large barn and blue dumpster. Pull in past the Welcome Sign and park at the entrance of the trail straight ahead.
Grab your gear and follow the signs to Basecamp located about 200 yards down the main trail beyond the red gate. This is where the majority of class instruction will be throughout the weekend.
Set up camp anywhere to the right (west) side of the main trail surrounding Basecamp. We suggest setting up further away from the main fire pit if you prefer to not hear possible late night fireside conversations.
