Texas - Standard and Advanced Standard Survival Training

2021 Wilderness Survival Training Temporarily Closed due to COVID-19

A note from Mark. Hi folks. We are as disappointed as you. It's still a small possibility that we could operate the March 2021 course. But it depends how safe it is to do so. Everyone's safety is what matters the most.

During this down time we have been enjoying tracking our local bruin. While getting some short video. Visit LWA's YouTube Channel and follow along as we track Black Bears, Cougar, and other wildlife.

We hope to be back to teaching as soon as we can. Be safe everyone.

~Wilderness Survival Training Reviews

" My experience with Mark far surpassed my expectations. I have spent years studying and researching these skills online and it doesn’t even compare to the few days I spent with Mark and his crew. I highly highly recommend you take this course. Marks program is great way to introduce and hone your outdoor skills." ~Christopher Baron

"Mark. Just touching base with you again to let you know how great the experience was at the Texas camp. I learned a ton and gained an excellent foundation from which to build. I definitely take a different approach in the woods now and am much more a “part of the woods” as opposed to just being out there in the woods." ~Jeff H.

"Dear Mark, I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful week, it was very enlightening, humbling and so interesting to get a small glimpse into your wealth of knowledge. I really walked away with more than I thought I would and it has really put a new perspective on things. I look forward to my next adventure with Lifesong!" ~Chris Watters.

Hi, Mark. This is Qiong. I attended the Texas survival camp last year and had a wonderful time. When people asked me about my best time in America, I always mentioned my experience during the camp. That was probably my most exciting and memorable adventure I have ever done. ~Qiong W.
