Wilderness Survival Weekend

Ancestral Knowledge & Georgetown University’s Outdoor Education Group

Presents:

Our wilderness survival program gives students the opportunity to learn how to provide ones self with their basic needs to stay alive in any survival situation. Whether lost, stranded, or in a state of emergency our program will fill the void of ignorance when it comes to taking care of your self, friends, and family. By learning these skills the participants become increasingly comfortable in a wilderness setting, whether its alone or in a group. This experience will also demonstrate how closely we as a species depend on our environment and natural surroundings as a source of life. Participants will learn to fulfill their basic survival needs; shelter, fire, water, food without the need for modern tools. Skills include fire by friction (you will make your own bow drill kit), survival shelters, plant and animal identification, animal tracking, Hunting and gathering techniques, trapping and much more. This will be our third semester that this program has successfully been offered to students at Georgetown.
