Hi I am 21 and from Texas and before I get into this let me give you my back ground. Since 18 I have gained a great deal of knowledge and experience with Wilderness survival skills both in practice and teaching. I was hired and have taught at 2 Boy Scout Camps for 2 months at a time for each camp. I have also taught survival and first aid to numerous Boy Scout Troops for back country High Adventures and also 2 Wilderness survival High Adventures. My skill set includes but not limited to: Primitive fire starting, Basic survival skills, Shelter building, land navigation with and without compass, traps/snares, water purification, hunting & gathering, Wild edible and medicinal plants, CPR & Wilderness First Aid (but is now EXPIRED).
So with that comes my question. In working towards starting a school (Down The Road Some Where) what would be the best steps in order to create a good background to let people know you're knowledge and skills are worth their money and time? Also what areas or parts of the US would be a good area to consider? I think getting more knowledge will definitely help me especially from other schools, and possibly working at some would create contacts. Anyone who has done this what would also be the cost of starting one up?
Thanks
