9:30 am: Meet and greet, introduction to your instructor(s). From Shunda Creek we drive approximately 40 km to our training location into the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

10:30 am-5:00 pm: At Kootnay Plains we set up base camp. We start by covering what precautions to take and dangers to avoid. Proper equipment and priorities during emergencies. We move to how to make survival fires and shelters under adverse conditions. The emphasis of the course is on developing practical and useful bushcraft and overall outdoor skills. We also cover useful knots. Tonight there is the opportunity to sleep in your very own survival shelter.
