Program ♦ THE EDGE extreme survival training and bushcraft skill

  • essential fire
  • essential shelter
  • essential water
  • essential food

The essential but masterful skills needed to successfully face and survive the unknown, distilled into three short, but intensely challenging days of training for you.

When we say essential, we mean essential.  With only a knife, flint, canteen and the clothes on your back, you head into the wilderness to face the unknown and join the elite, survival of the fittest.

It is with purpose we do not give out specific details about camp in order to enhance your extreme survival experience.  It is our goal to help you develop self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-empowerment while facing the unknown.  Lifesong Wilderness Adventures supplies the knowledge and tools to give you THE EDGE.

Even though you will be on your own and away from our main camp for your overnight adventure, we monitor participants to insure a great experience.  Plenty of delicious mountain water is available at all times during all aspects of camp.

“Dear Mark and Celeste,

I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks & gratitude.  As you know THE EDGE was a 50th birthday present from my family.  Singularly, this was the best gift I ever received.  Your camp was outstanding and exceeded my expectations.  Your curriculum and intensive training got me well prepared for my solo overnight adventure.  I would recommend this camp to anyone young & old alike, male or female.     All the best.” ~  Dr. Dean G. Professor Columbia University
