Here's your chance.....

[Sarge47]

Okay wolves, here's your chance to see what kind of Survival instructor you'd make. You set up three survival situations for your students in the following order:

a.) Beginner; b.) Intermediate; & c.) Advanced.

In each case you decide the type of environment, weather conditions, which season, equipment, supplies, how many people in the group, what each person's strengths, weaknesses, & medical condition is, or if their solo, etc.. Sound like fun?

It sounds like a college essay!

[pgvoutdoors]

O.K. Sarge, I'll throw a few situations out to you. Give me a couple of days to put something together.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

Thats alot of planning Sarge!

[crashdive123]

Thats alot of planning Sarge!

But for those of you that run a school or teach a course already it ought to be a piece of cake.

Sarge, I'll take the challenge. It'll take some time to put it together.

Thats sure right, the planning /provision stage determines much of what you will or wont be doing in the field. mistakes or oversights can be more than costly, especialy where exposure issues, and enough tool or provisions of nessesity is concerned. someones physical condition is a variable that can change everything.

1) Spend a weekend outdoors in warm, dry weather with just the clothes you are wearing. Make out the best you can.

2) Ditto, in cool damp weather

3) Ditto, in the middle of winter below zero F temperatures.

But don't you teach wilderness survival? If so, your planning would already be done and you could share how you teach your courses with us.

Working on a course outline Sarge.

[wareagle69]

don't think i would make a good "survival" instructor i fashion myself more along the lines of primitive skills/self reliance ala allen beauchamp and raymond mears
so i will leave this to the experts

[crashdive123]

Why not a primative skills course?

[wareagle69]

cuz sarge asked for survival course so out of my element. don't you have some bugs to kill?

[crashdive123]

Ah - so many bugs, so little time.

[nell67]

Just no trained bees!

[crashdive123]

I'm tellin ya....could have used em 30 or so years ago......would have saved a lot of time in bars.

crash, caught 9 + 1.

If only an extreme survival course was readily available for the people with obesity........... than maybe they would learn, unless it's hereditary.

Jericho,there are many causes of obesity,from the down right won't do anything,to those with medical conditions,thyroid problems come to mind,and certain types of medications will cause weight gain like meds for diabetes,which just exacerbates that condition.exercise,while good for everyone,is not always the answer to obesity.
