Wilderness Survival Basics!

Hi everyone!
It's been a while since we've covered the basics, and we haven't met in person for quite some time! If you've not managed to make a Survive & Thrive Meetup yet, or want a refresher, this is a good one to start with!

We'll take a look at the five basic needs of a survivor as based on my training and what I taught at the USAF SERE School 30 years or so ago. This Meetup will be augmented with stories of how folks have met (or not met to their detriment) their needs in various situations. Knowing these needs and some basic principles can make or break a survival situation in the back country. So if you'd like to feel a bit more prepared when you go out hiking, skiing, bird watching, climbing and so on, come join us! Bring your own stories and questions to enrich everyone's learning too!

This is an in-person event, so please respect social distancing and wear masks when within 6 feet of each other. There will be a station for handwashing and hand sanitizer available.

I look forward to seeing familiar faces I haven't seen in a while, and some new ones!
