In places where not only the people are a threat but maybe the weather and terrain conditions are as well. Our cadre spend a collective 300 days a year training military personnel in adaptation skills and law enforcement personnel in tactical operations training. Not to mention trapping, hunting, fishing and equipment evaluation that is done during training exercises. They train, test and revise forgotten survival skills from primitive people of the past. And search out, field test and critique skills and equipment of the present.
Individuals don t learn just by reading books and sitting through classes.
They need hands-on training to gain confidence in their skills and find out what works and doesn t work. With an emphasis on adverse conditions. If you can t keep yourself from falling to the wrath of the elements, then forget about learning how to trap and build worthless solar stills. A shelter is your fortress against your enemies, the sun, wind, rain and cold. The ability to build a fire in any environment with little or no equipment.
