Adapt and Change
Change has been on the menu for the 28-Day Wilderness Immersion. We have had to adapt to these changes. Life is fluid and to survive we must adapt to the new reality.
For 2022, wilderness immersion will adapt to change by highlighting the Adventure experience. And continue the theme of learning primitive survival skills.
For 2022, This course will adapt to these changes by highlighting "Adventure" with hiking and exploration. But continue with the theme of developing your primitive skills. It will be a fun and exciting adventure to be out and away in the wilds for this class.
