Women's Wilderness Survival 101 is a course directed towards women of all ages to encourage more female participation in the field of wilderness survival. Students from all skill levels are welcome and no experience is required. Whether you are a proclaimed survivalist, a weekend bushcrafter, a homesteader, an ultralight hiker, or just a general everyday woodswoman this class is designed to promote a sense of community through our shared love of nature. Together we will build skills that promote confidence both within ourselves and out in the woods.
Throughout the weekend, we will learn to take care of our immediate needs in wilderness survival as we discuss self-aid, fire, navigation and shelter. Other topics will include self-defense, hygiene, and signaling for rescue. This class is for participants who desire to both learn and grow, as well as how to develop a sense of resilience through self-reliance in both community and as individuals in the wild.
Course Highlights:
• Learn how to take care of your medical needs in an emergency situation
• Learn how to properly use a knife and saw to avoid injury
• Signaling for rescue with the use of your kit and modern tools such as a Personal Locator Beacon
• Make fire with various ignitions from modern to primitive using your ferro rod, magnifying lens, and bow-drill
• Learn how to positively identify plants and trees that aid in fire and tool construction as we go on a woodland walk and collect resources
• Turn your poncho into an emergency shelter or substitute pack
• Learn how to make cordage and rope
