Living in such a technologically advanced age is a blessing and a curse. Many of us are no longer being taught basic skills to live without technology. In this class, students will learn skills of survival that will help them face difficult situations should they arise.Â

Students will learn the following skills:
- Making clean water
- Generating electricity
- Creating warmth
- Safely disposing of waste.
WILDERNESS SCENARIO: You’re camping in the wilderness and get separated from your group. Now you are lost. How will you survive until help arrives?

- Clean water preparation

- TrappingÂ
