The COMPLETE Kit is most recommended as it has what you need in one package. Each piece of gear has been hand selected by Tim Swanson to fit the needs of Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival's curriculum.Appropriate clothing for weather and bugs.Water, lunch, and snacks (extra water to extinguish fires).Notebook and Pen. (optional, but we highly encourage note taking).Camping chair or something to sit on.Baseplate CompassAt a minimum, please bring your own carving tool, ferro rod or matches, poncho (or trash bag), 12 feet of rope, and everything to keep your basic needs met.We have everything to borrow, as well as carving tools and fire starters for sale at the beginning of class. The Complete Kit is a great place to start, choose to add a compass and poncho to that and you will have a great survival kit!The linked products above are quality and affordable compared to other gear we have tested and OEWS will never recommend gear that we have not tested and approved ourselves. It is important that students dress prepared for weather, especially cold weather. Class is 100% outside and although class is held off-trail in the forest, it will only be held a short walking distance to the parking area. Please bring extra layers, even if you do not think you will need them.If you are interested in a survival carving tool design developed by Tim Swanson, the lead instructor, please send a message to Jackson Mills of Freedom Forge and inquire about The Talon carving tool. The Talon is Tim's idea of a perfect survival tool for the needs of all of our classes and each one is handmade with custom handle and sheath options. They take a few weeks to make so please plan accordingly if you would like your carving tool to use in class. Depending on custom options, these sell for around $200.This class is geared for adults, however mature minors are welcome to join. We do not set an age minimum but rather set a maturity standard. It is up to the parents to decide if they feel their child or teen is mature enough for a 7 hour survival class. All students are expected to maintain a level of respect for all students and carry themselves as individuals. If you feel your child will be interruptive to the flow of class, or hinder your independent learning, this class will not be for them and we encourage you to look at our children's survival classes, which are specifically structured for kids. Students below the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The ticket price covers the cost of 1 student, regardless of age.This class is held year round, completely outside, and runs rain or shine. If weather conditions make outdoor conditions unsafe, class will be cancelled and students can reschedule into another class.Tim Swanson, founder and lead instructor of Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival will be teaching this class along with his apprentices and co-instructors.
