Most survival training focuses on being visible and getting rescued. And most of the time, that’s great. But tactical survival is a different game. What do you do when things have gone south in a nonpermissive environment? Whether you’re pursuing or evading – the hunter or the hunted – staying on the down-low is critical. In this 1-day class, you’ll learn the essentials of how to fulfill the core survival priorities when getting your cover blown is a matter of survival in its own right. Ideal for military, law enforcement/SAR fugitive trackers, wildlife agents, and civilians looking to build their tactical skill set. After this class, they’ll never know you were there. 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Military-tested reconnaissance and evasion principles
• How to move tactically through your environment without being spotted
• Personal camouflage – clothing, face paint, concealment aids, and more
• How to build a shelter that’ll never be seen
• Best practices for minimizing noise
• Addressing IR, thermal, and drone concerns
• How to build a smokeless fire that’s virtually invisible
• Avoiding hypothermia when fire isn’t an option
• Basic countertracking and how to erase your sign
• Individual vs. group tactics

And here’s what else you can expect from us:

• A hot, home-cooked meal to keep you going through the day
• Unlimited instructor support after class is over
• “Homework” to help you train and grow your skills on your own time

Survival situations in tactical environments are some of the most challenging situations a human can face. The one who holds the element of stealth will always have the upper hand. And we’re here to give you that.

No prior experience is required for this class, but we recommend bringing a daypack with some basic necessities (see our FAQs for what we suggest) and comfortable shoes for hiking. Got a long drive and hate waking up early? Sign up for overnight camping here.
