The year 2009 brought many favorable changes for Survival Resources, not only in product development, but in consulting agreements and private training. For 2010, we also committed to both sponsoring, attending, and teaching at the Dirttime Event in Wyoming, as well as the Pathfinder Gathering in Ohio. We only have so much time, so we had to close open enrollment courses for 2010. However, open enrollment courses will be available again in 2011!

Our Open-Air Classroom Our Field Kitchen When we first decided to offer outdoor skills courses, we noticed that many of the available schools offered various extended programs of a week or more. Because of various budget and time constraints, not everyone could attend an extended course. But we realized they still needed to learn. For this reason, in order to accommodate everyone, we designed various types of courses so everyone could learn skills on their budget and time schedule. Our philosophy and strategy for providing courses is always evolving. We have had excellent success offering custom courses to organizations, academic institutions, various agencies, and private groups. These courses can be scheduled to accommodate both the clients needs and our availability. We break our courses into two individual areas; Seminars, and Survival Courses. The following will explain each of these areas as well as detail the advantages and disadvantages of the program type. SPECIAL EVENTS John is often invited as a guest instructor at Special Events around the country. John really enjoys these type of events because he has the opportunity to meet new people from all over the country, so when he can work it into the schedule, he goes.
At the 2nd Annual Pathfinder Gathering in Ohio, John taught a class on Survival Kits and co-taught a class on tarps with Steve (Critr Gitr) Davis.

OUTDOOR SKILLS COURSES
Outdoor Skills Courses are longer in duration than seminars. They are more intensive, with more "Hands-On" practice of technique by students. Students leave these courses with more confidence in their ability to actually use their new skills. Our Survival Skills Weekend Course was featured in the "Escape" section of The New York Times on August 1st, 2008. For more information on that article, click here. If you would like to see more photos taken at that course by Les Stone, click here.
In the field classroom lectures provide the basics for the topics being taught .
Instructors demonstrate the techniques first so students can see how it's done.
Students then go into the field to learn practical application, so they learn by doing.
When students complete projects, they demonstrate and test them.
Each evening , students sit around the campfire and discuss lessons and make pine needle tea.
All courses end with a certificate ceremony. The following are Outdoor Skills Courses that we offer:
