Waist-high survival fire; winter survival training Winter Lean-to in the Taiga Shield Excellence in Modern Wilderness Survival Training

"It was informative and complete without being to heavy..."
— Wilderness Survival Core Seminar Participant

Why except wilderness survival training from non-professional instructors? 1000's of individuals teach survival in North America, less than 100 are actual professional survival instructors. Of those very few are teaching Modern Wilderness Survival with scientific methods, cutting edge presentations, relaxed hands-on field training, and the teaching of potentially life saving techniques.

"Lots of info – good to have actual items to see as you explained them."
— Wilderness Survival Core Seminar Participant

Expect friendly and professional instruction each and every time you take a course from the Boreal Wilderness Institute. It is our belief that scientifically based mitigative modern wilderness survival training can help to eliminate most potentially life threatening survival situations. Our Training is a solid component of a proper Wilderness Travel Safety Programme.

"Adventure is just bad planning." — Roald Amundsen

Nature will provide the test, so we work to build up, develop, and strengthen your skills and knowledge base. Our philosophy is to teach through progressive and experiential learning not instructor induced hardship. We offer a Survival Certificate, a programme designed for those who want to earn basic certification in Modern Wilderness Survival Techniques.

"Extremely well organized and researched." — Wilderness Survival Core Seminar Participant

We believe in teaching you to use the proper equipment and techniques in a relaxed hands-on atmosphere. Our summer and winter survival courses are all designed to allow maximum hand on practical experience with an emphasis on fire lighting, shelter building and the carrying of Critical Survival Items. The Boreal Wilderness Institute is dedicated to ongoing research into wilderness survival, cold weather travel, and equipment. We have numerous Research Articles online that give a good idea of the depth of our training.
