The Primitive Survival Course is a comprehensive 4-day/3-night program that expands upon the foundations of the Wilderness Survival and Bushcraft Skills Courses. This course is dedicated to primitive skills and is considered a "knife-only" course. Through the application of natural resources and primitive techniques, participants will learn essential survival skills for any given environment.

Discover how to meet all your wilderness needs without any modern tools or resources with the Primitive Survival Course. Learn core temperature maintenance, hydration, calorie consumption, rest, first aid, navigation, signaling, and more using only Mother Nature and your primitive survival skills. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or an industry expert, this course is an essential resource for any wilderness adventure.

Gain competence in primitive skills under the guidance of a qualified instructor in a controlled environment, prioritizing student safety. Upon completion, students will possess newfound confidence to practice independently and enhance their skills.

This “Knife-Only” course will provide students with a knife for use throughout the duration of the course. Appropriate clothing for the environment and weather, including warming layers and wet weather gear, is required. No other gear or food will be necessary or allowed.

The Primitive Survival Course is designed for advanced-level students. By design, and for the best experience and chance of success, it is recommended that students first complete both the Wilderness Survival and Bushcraft Skills Courses before enrolling in the Primitive Survival Course, but it is not required. Please note that due to time constraints, our cadre will not be able to catch up students who do not possess the necessary skills upon arrival. However, if you have read this course description in its entirety, along with the course cancellation and refund policy, and would still like to attend this course you may do so.

This course employs a progressive method of instruction, moving from "crawl" to "walk" and finally to "run." Initially, students will be guided by an experienced cadre but will eventually be expected to showcase their mastery autonomously through Practical Applications. Ultimately, students will be tested under varying degrees of pressure to confirm their competence.
