Join expert instructors from Ethos Bushcraft & Survival for an engaging, hands-on workshop covering six essential survival skills: shelter building, signaling for rescue, navigation, water filtration, fire building, and food procurement. You will begin by constructing a simple shelter and crafting cordage from saw palmetto leaves. Discover effective signaling techniques for rescue situations and master the fundamentals of navigation in the wild. Explore water filtration and purification by building your own filter using a plastic bottle, charcoal, grass, and sand. Gain practical experience with fire building, and learn how to identify and obtain food in a survival scenario.
