— Wilderness Survival Winter Field Session Participant
Participants will live in a group shelter on the first night and in a survival shelter on the second night. Each participant will have the opportunity to build a winter survival shelter, a "15 Minute Saw" (Survival Bow Saw), a sharpening board, and an improvised candle lantern. Learn the skills you need to survive. The next step is to take the 5-day Wilderness Survival Winter Field Trek.
