COUNTER THE COLD >>>
Making snow caves, igloos, snowshoes, and sleds are all fine skills to have. And if you read most manuals for winter survival, that’s what you’ll see. Except in Southern Appalachia, that’s not what you need. Bitter cold, stiff winds, and constant, soaking rain are more our speed than acres of pristine snow. Food is scarce, everything is wet, and hypothermia kills fast. You need the right skills to counter the challenges posed by our unique environment.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this 1-day class:
- How to build a shelter that can raise the temperature inside 70+ degrees
- Proven ways to build a fire in any weather, no matter how wet
- Identifying wild edible plants in winter
- Assessing calorie needs to make sure you have the fuel you need to keep you going
- Clothing choices to keep you warm no matter how much the temperature drops
- Situational awareness techniques to ensure you don’t get lost in the first place
And here’s what else you’ll get:
- A hot, home-cooked lunch to keep you going throughout the day
- SARCRAFT’s “Field Guide to Winter Survival” e-book
- Unlimited instructor support after class
