Our Alaska Field Courses are the most realistic survival course you can take.
https://www.californiasurvivaltraining.com/weekend-field-course
Our field course is designed to introduce the student to what a real-world wilderness survival emergency can be like. The gear list is minimal; pocketknife/water bottle/small pack, in order to reinforce the principles of improvisation, and to force the participant to learn to use what is around them. You will leave with no food or water, and will consume only what is found. The terrain can be extreme, with most of the hiking off trail. The hike will be anywhere from 2.5-5 miles each way. This course is about full immersion. The ability to endure harsh conditions and still perform is emphasized. Students will learn to overcome the unexpected.
*Students will receive no outside food or water. No sleeping bags or outside gear allowed.
*Construct an all-weather survival shelter from what you find in the forest. Then sleep in it for two nights by the warmth of your campfire.
