Detailed Course Description

Instructor: Dr. Jason Hunt

In this comprehensive wilderness survival course that includes seven field-booklets, Jason teaches you the same content he teaches in his hands-on courses at the Campcraft Outdoors Field School. This course is bases on the 80/20 Rule. This universal principle applies to many areas of life, including survival. You can go to an outdoor school a couple of states away, invest thousands of dollars into your gear, travel expenses, and class fees, and then plan on spending the next several years or so attending these classes. Or you can take a shortcut: learn the 20% of survival knowledge that will help you in 80% of the situations. And this is exactly what the Modern Survival curriculum is all about: a "woodsman's shortcut" to developing life-saving skills for crisis and emergency situations. Video instruction for skills related to all critical areas of survival are covered, including fire starting skills, sheltering skills, hydration, food procurement, knots, and rescue. Get ready to learn the 20% of skills that make 80% of the difference!
