This trip is designed to introduce and practice outdoor living and survival skills in a variety of settings and under a range of conditions. We’ll cover techniques that are targeted to whatever the season the course is held in. We’ll include traditional and modern skills, and use a variety of equipment (from the most modern to ‘no’ equipment), to enhance your enjoyment and your range of comfort of the outdoors. In the winter, we’ll learn and practice concepts of winter camping and safety.
We’ll also stage “accidents” during the course of our hiking, biking, canoeing, and kayaking, and through team cooperation, we’ll work our way out of the situation….and promise to never lose anyone! We’ll learn basic to intermediate orientation skills, shelter solutions, signaling concepts on land and in the water, emergency sources of food, and many other skills. The trip will take place at various locations on the coast of Maine, and interior forested wilderness.
