Backwoods Survival for Hunters and Hikers (BWS-1) Clinic
Saturday, January 18th
8:30am-12:30pm
This clinic employs hands-on skills that can make the difference in a successful hunting and outdoor adventure. When it comes to the outdoors, hunting and hiking pose the greatest risk of becoming lost, or worse; being lost, injured and unprepared to survive the elements. When your cell phone loses power and your GPS can’t find a signal, your best hope for making it through, are the skills you’ll learn in this 4-hour clinic of hands-on, survival training. You will discover the most efficient methods of using essential survival gear, advanced fire-starting skills, and learn to use those special features of map, compass and the natural surroundings guaranteed to keep you out of trouble, or enable self-rescue when the worst happens.
