Fieldcraft 101
Instructed by Jon Turner — a USMC veteran from Vermont — this 3-part fieldcraft survival series will provide methods to cover basic needs of survival in the wilderness — Shelter, Water, Fire, Food and Tools — by using modern and primitive resources.
Each class will highlight multiple approaches to meet these basic needs and there will be several opportunities to test gear in the field. The 101 course will provide you with a basic understanding of the fundamentals of wilderness survival and the tools and techniques you'll need to survive. Our corresponding Fieldcraft 201 course in November will provide you with a deeper understanding and teach you how to work with fewer resources. If you complete the 201 course, you'll be eligible to take our advanced 301 course in December!
Another Summit is able to provide all the necessary gear for participants who need it.
