Epic day of skill building and good times in the field with Ray Livingston, The Urban Survivalist ~ Season 6 ALONE (The History Channel)

The rule of three’s applies when we talk about things that might prevent us from surviving in the wild. We can only expect to go 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter in extreme conditions, 3 days without water and 30 days without food before our body’s begin to fail us. 

Fire falls under shelter, as does clothing and other mechanisms that deal with keeping the core body temperature in and acceptable range. Having the knowledge and skills needed to get a fire going in extreme conditions, before you or someone else succumbs to exposure, can truly be a life and death matter. In our area, in the wet conditions of the Pacific Northwest, exposure, meaning hypothermia here, is the #1 danger for those that venture out into our natural areas.

In this workshop, you will learn how to identify, collect and process natural materials found in our area so that you can get a fire going in any weather condition. At the end of this workshop, I hope you find yourself more confident in your skills and abilities when you venture out into our wild places.

Looking forward to meeting new comrades, sharing with you what I have learned in the field and exchanging stories of adventure with you by the fire!
