Are you ready to put all your skills to the test? Join the Survival 2 Thrival Field Expedition Course in the ultimate challenge on this cross country survival expedition. In this course you'll travel remote wilderness of southern Utah using your blanket pack kit and the skills learned in the pathway program.
Students spend the first few days making a bow and arrow, gourd canteens, and using their skills to procure food, make shelter & disinfect water all while embarking on a trip into the wilderness. By day 3 students will have their bows completed and will start to spend time bow hunting as a tribe for small game. By the end of this course you'll have gained first hand experience living primitively and traveling remote areas.
-
Bow Making: build a bow similar to what local tribes used in the area & make 2-3 arrows and arrow points from local materials while we travel.
-
Blanket Kit Travel: Travel some of Utah's scenic landscapes, explore old ruins, and live comfortably from your blanket pack kit while putting your skills to the test.
-
Hunt & Gather Food: Use your skills to harvest wild plants, make digging sticks, and set primitive traps for food.
-
The Ultimate Test: Use your skills to find water, make tools, and live and thrive with your group as you explore and live in the wilderness

Kyle is an amazing and patient teacher! We tried other schools like Making Tracks, but they just didn't offer what we wanted. After taking Kyle's survival program we fell in love with his classes because his easy going personality and vast wealth of knowledge.

This program was exactly what we were looking for. My kids loved every class and can't wait to take more. My oldest would come home excited to teach me what he learned and the kids would be using the primitive items they made throughout the week. He would ask me if Kyle could be their young mens leader so they could do survival stuff.

Kyle is so patient with all the kids and I can't believe how much he knows. He would always stop teaching to share a new plant, show a cool survival trick or tell a story or kid friendly joke. He is an amazing teacher and quickly makes you feel like you've known him for a long time. My kids loved every class.
