Modern Wilderness Survival teaches the skills need to survive through Short-Term (1 to 4 Days) and Medium-Term (4 to 40 Days) survival situations. It is scientifically based and designed to eliminate potentially life threatening survival situations that are likely to occur. It normally emphasizes Short-Term Survival Techniques (1 to 4 Days) concentrating on life saving basic skills.

Modern Wilderness Survival teaches practical wilderness survival skills concentrating on survival physiology, survival psychology, clothing, fire lighting, shelter building, useful survival equipment, and the preparation for a potential survival situation. Wilderness Travel skills and basic tool building are often taught in courses, but always with the emphasis on practical useful skills that may be needed to survive.
