Grado de EE. UU. 5 - 8
As a former member of a Marine Corps Sniper Team, I have spent many months in forests, deserts, and unpredictable environments.  The military survival instruction I received was critical to my success and I want to share that knowledge with you! 

This course is geared towards 8-13 year old students (though the content is appropriate for students of all ages).  All students are welcome to attend!

The ongoing course will include instruction in field craft (forest/desert survival), urban survival, and overall situational awareness.  The topics will cycle back around so you can jump into classes at any point.  Most weeks include a skills lab to do on your own.  All weeks include class notes that I post after each class is completed.  All classes are recorded so you can rewatch if needed or miss a class.  

The format of this course will be lecture, photographs, diagrams, videos and demonstrations--as well as discussion.  I will engage students by soliciting their experiences and by presenting "what if" scenarios for their consideration.  

During this course of study students will learn to master the following areas:  

How to be safe in any environment/situation.  This requires some forethought and planning on your part. 
 
How to find and treat water for drinking.  This is easy with the right gear and not so easy without but still doable with the right 
knowledge.
                
How to start a fire with, or without, tools.  We will cover both methods. 
              
Situational awareness scenarios and preventative or problem-solving techniques.  This will prevent 90% of potential problems and hazards. 
               
How to find food in the forest, in the desert, in a city, in a rural area, at the dump, or even in the ocean!
                
How to survive in extreme heat (such as a desert setting)
          
Map Reading and Land Navigation
 
How to find your way home no matter where you are.

Survival Tools and Gear you need to know about.

How to make a "Go Bag".  
              
Finding and signaling for help 
            
How to make a shelter anywhere...out of practically anything.
               
5 things you MUST do during a natural disaster (tornado, hurricane, power outage, etc.) 
             
Knot tying.  Yes--Knots are boring.  But if you don't know how to tie a proper knot--you're going to regret it.
             
How to survive frigid temperatures.
              
For this course, no prior experience or knowledge is required.  My goal is for students to be empowered to overcome any obstacle or situation they may face in the wilderness.  

My teaching style is casual, humorous, friendly, positive, and socially neutral.  I understand students come from many various backgrounds.  I want the students in my class to be prepared to survive and thrive if things go bad--or if they experience a difficult situation.  I want to share my experience and training with them so they can take care of themselves and their loved ones.  With the know how presented in this class, they will be able to do so.

Students will be encouraged to ask questions or seek clarification at any point during the instruction.  Such interaction is the best way for this specialized knowledge to be understood and absorbed.  

Each week we will focus on one of the above topics so students may join the class at any point in the rotation.
Students who cycle through all the classes can repeat classes which will solidify knowledge they have already learned.  I recommend 2 cycles to master the material.  

Current topic cycle for -Sep 2024-Nov2024:

12/2     Survival Mindset 

I solicit friendly participation from all students and have found that even the most stand-offish students eventually join in the weekly conversations with enthusiasms.  

I allow time during and after class for student questions.  If I go over the allowed time, no problem.  

**Late/Missed Class Policy:  All classes are recorded and posted to the classroom discussion board to allow for viewing after we meet in the cases of a missed class.  Refunds are limited and on a case-by-case basis.

Orientación para padres
This class will deal with potentially scary topics such as wilderness scenarios, disasters, and being lost. However, graphic or gory images, over-the-top illustrations, and/or detailed specifics will not be part of the curriculum. We will be discussing ways to start fires with tools and without tools as a class discussion. We will not actually physically start a fire but parents may want to talk with their student after this class regarding safety. We are also discussing water treatment and will emphasize seeking parent help should they wish to try the technique to purify water. I will always send the student to the parent for supervision in areas where safety is a concern. Parents should be aware we will discuss topics related to wilderness survival and that I will present all of these topics in as positive a manner as possible and in the spirit of survival...and overcoming obstacles.

I am a proud, former member of a United States Marine Corps Sniper Team, Second Battalion, Third Marine Division, stationed out of KMCAS, Hawaii.  I received extensive training in the military.  I attended training such as:  jungle survival, cold weather, desert survival and as a combat medic and EMT for that team.    I served during the Gulf Wars and have extensive experience in the areas I teach.  After my time with the Marines, I entered civilian Law Enforcement in Jacksonville Florida. Today, I share the knowledge I was given with others.
