Introduction to Wilderness Survival with Jeff Huntington
Get lost and get found this spring in preparation to your hiking adventures this summer. Be prepared for all kinds of wilderness situations from forgetting your matches, to finding your bearings when you're truly lost, to building shelter and finding water and food. You'll learn such crucial survival tactics as finding water, building emergency shelters, distress signaling, making fire without matches, finding food, positive mental attitude and navigation.
The class will comprise of both lecture time and hands-on learning, getting lost and getting found and surviving in the wilds of Lopez in the middle. Talk about a fun spring day in the great outdoors!
Huntington will choose activities for the students to do from such activities as building a solar still, finding North and making a survival kit. Jeff Huntington has always enjoyed being an avid fisherman, hunter, gatherer of wild foods, alpine climber and all-around nature lover. In October 2012 he became a certified Wilderness First Responder and is now working toward a career in experiential education. Come learn from his wide range of expertise!
