Hi I'm Kirk. I'm 24 and born and raised in Montana. I've been in the service for 6 years so far, and continuing.
I'm on this site for two reasons, both pertaining to research.
My first is I want to increase my personal survival knowledge.
As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as knowing too much, though one can over think a situation.
As for my second and more pertinent due to time sensitivities. I am working on writing a character bio.
I love the wilderness, from day trips to week to two week outings into the woods but I'm also on the nerd end of the scale. This character is for a tabletop roleplaying game. Not to be published, but with my character bio I will be putting a citation sheet... Just to be safe.
This campaign is very... Nitpicky on the details. So I want to make sure I lay out his back story accurately.
I want him to have been a survival instructor, but I'm having trouble finding WHERE to get the certs to be a survival instructor. I've got it covered on him having the knowledge, through extensive training through a series of courses and experience having to put survival training to use. But getting the certs... That has eluded me. I've found references to "get this cert or that one" but not WHERE one can get it, how long it takes, etc.
I know that was long winded but I figured that since my issue is not being able to find something, I'd make sure to detail my situation.
Once I've completed this project I can return to just personally expanding my survival knowledge for real world use.
Thanks!!!
