Wilderness Survival

3 Days- $1500.00

RFMA Wilderness Survival course – the Aim of this training is for the students to confidently grasp the basic Survival knowledge and practice the fundamental skills needed in the wilderness if things go wrong. Our meticulously crafted program is designed to empower students with the two things that you need:

• Survival skills and
• Survival knowledge.

By honing the fundamental techniques, our goal is to instill in each student the ability and confidence to survive with minimal effort.

In this comprehensive course, students can expect to learn the essentials to survive in the Wilderness by participating in a structured approach to survival in the wilderness.

Some key topics that are covered in this program include:

The Survival Mind set: In the “Survival Mindset” segment of our program we understand the thought process of a stressful situation and its effects on our thinking.  We work through logical simple steps to ensure that we have the right mindset to win and survive.  In this class we break down what immediate steps you should take when faced with a survival situation, how to prepare and organize your self in the wilderness, how to pack, how to plan and how to avoid a bad situation, but if should one arise, we focus on how to deal with it positively to give you the best chance for success.

Survival First Aid: Understanding that sometimes injuries happen while not in the presence of hospitals and first responders. This class is designed strictly for the wilderness survival setting. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions and take life saving actions in the wilderness for your own injuries or others in your group.

Fundamentals of Fire, Shelter, and Water: Building on the fundamentals introduced in our course, the survival fundamentals are broken down and discussed in detail in a controlled environment, and then practiced under supervision.  All three of these skills will be the gateway fundamentals used when completing the overnight camp exercise in the wilderness. By mastering these principles, you gain the foundation to consistently light a survival fire, build and construct a survival shelter and procure and treat water with confidence.

Building a survival kit: “The survival kit” is a pivotal topic in our course, teaching you the art of building not, buying a kit that can save your life and or the lives of your group/family. This sets the stage for fundamentals classes as we discuss the items, there uses, and we will focus on the practice the skills within your kit to ensure understanding and confidence with your own equipment.

Signalling for help: A key component of survival is having the ability and knowledge to signal for help.  We will cover options using sight and sound that will aide in your rescue.

Global Positioning System(GPS): An introductory lesson on general map reading, combined with GPS usage in the wilderness survival setting. This knowledge will allow you to use the GPS to pinpoint your location for rescue, navigate with confidence and make decisions in the wilderness for your own or others in your group.  This will be taught in class and applied practically in the woods.

This is a custom designed entry level course offered exclusively by Rob Furlongs Marksmanship Academy and delivered by world class instructors. This course is an intense, interactive training opportunity for all students running over a three–day period in the foothills of Alberta.  Join us on your journey to enhance your skills and knowledge of survival together.
