TAHOE JACK’S – WINTER SURVIVAL

TAHOE WILDERNESS COURSE

Ever wondered how you would fare if dropped off in the wilderness with nothing but the clothing on your back?  If you’re an urban dweller you may have pondered if you could make it without societies lifeline.  Most of us never give it a second thought.   But every year we hear stories of someone’s car breaking down in the middle of nowhere, a hiker getting lost or a skier becoming trapped in a snowstorm.

Tahoe Jack’s wilderness survival courses are designed to provide participants with the necessary skills to survive, build shelter, maintain body temperature, forge for food, find safe water resources, navigate terrain and utilize rescue methods.  Our courses focus on not only what to do in a survival situation, but also what not to do. In addition, we will cover proper procedures when exposed to nature’s elements and how to combat the mental and emotional hurdles often confronted with when presented with a wilderness survival situation.

This is a great adventure course for age groups 12 and up and those who either frequent the outdoors or would just like to have the knowledge for a snowy day.
