How They Survived - 20 Amazing Real Life Survival Stories!

In this awesome 20 week course we are going to learn about some of the most incredible real life survival stories. Not only are we going to dive deep in the what situation the particular person(s) endured, but also learn about what WE would do differently if we were in the same exact situation. 

I will teach your student by sharing the student lecture style, perhaps provide pictures and short video clips as well. We will than discuss the survival story and share ideas as to how the survivor was able to survive, and what they did wrong and right. 

Even though we will be talking about what skills were useful for each scenario, we will not actually be learning the skills themselves.

For instance, If I share a story of a soldier who was evading capture, and I say "This soldier was able to purify water by boiling it in his canteen" I will not dive deep on the method of purifying water. I have another amazing class for that. 

After the 20 weeks are complete I will start the rotation all over again, so your student can start at any time, and does NOT need to start from week 1. Classes DO NOT build upon one another.
