Develop Essential Survival Skills

Learning survival skills is essential if you spend any time in nature.  We help you begin your training in the skills needed to recreate in the outdoors safely.

Camping gear

Having good functioning camping gear is important for a comfortable overnight experience. The last thing you want when your 5- miles out from the trailhead is equipment failure. So, choosing the right gear for your activity and knowledge to use it is important.

Survival gear

Did you know that your camping gear is also your survival gear? The gear you take with you is the gear that protects you from cold to extreme heat. The gear you choose, from head to toe, will have a big effect on your camping experience.

Knowledge and experience

But what is even more important than gear, is knowledge and experience. The more time you spend outdoors the more knowledge and experience you gain.

Leave no trace

Applying leave no trace principles to your camping experience makes for a much better time on the trail. Whether you're backpacking or car camping leave no trace reduces the chances of having negative experiences with bears and rodents.

Feeding squirrels and bears is a no no, and habituates animals to people. Keep our wildlife healthy and wild by cleaning up your camp.

Pack it in, pack it out!
