I often have optional exercises for students to practice outside of class. I am always interested to hear from learners putting my lessons to use. I would love to see photos or videos of any of these skills in action so that I can give feedback.Class Experience

Come learn from a Wilderness Guide and Wilderness Medical First Responder who’s been through it all! 🗺️This class will dive into the CRITICAL STEPS everyone should know if they land in a survival situation: How to stay calm, how to address our body’s needs, how to form a rescue plan, and how to act decisively.
