Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

**If your learner already took my regular Wilderness Survival 101 class, they should not enroll in this class, since they have already learned everything that this class will cover!!

This class will be presented via powerpoint presentation and IS MOSTLY LECTURE BASED, although students will have several opportunities to ask or answer questions. During each class, a few different video clips are used in order to enhance learning opportunities. Although homework is not required, students are encouraged to write a few paragraphs after class, to be read out loud to their families. 

**Parents should be aware that we touch on the survival story from the book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" which is also the movie "127 hours". I do NOT go into detail, but students will figure out that the man makes the difficult decision to remove his own arm in order to survive. Hypothermia is also mentioned, which can ultimately lead to death in the wilderness. Although these are situations we all want to avoid in the wilderness, it is necessary to learn about them in order to know how to survive out there. Some students are bothered by this, so keep this in mind in your decision to enroll!

**Parents should be aware that this class discusses survival protein - - which includes fish, frogs, eggs, snakes and insects. I am a huge animal lover and cringe at the thought of having to take the life of a small animal, but when faced with the prospect of surviving in the wilderness, this is a life-saving skill that needs to be addressed. If this is offensive to you, please consider another class instead. :)
