Look at What You Get!
Must Have Skills
Mastering the right skills makes the difference between struggling and thriving! Having the right tool for the right job and knowing how to use it changes you from a beginner to an expert, someone who can be confident in their abilities. If you can read a compass, safely sharpen and use a knife, successfully build a fire and tie a few important knots, you will have a solid foundation of skills that you can rely on in any wilderness situation.

Food & Water
According to the law of 3’s, a person can live 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. The power of the mind, however, can alter these limitations (for better or for worse). Learning shelter, water and food basics can give you confidence to be more adventurous.

My son is noticing things, developing an awareness outdoors. It gives him a knowledge base to work from, whether looking at tracks, birds, or plants and their uses. He’s acquiring a foundation to build on.
