Level 1 Survival Foundations

Learn the skills that keep you alive.

Level 1 is built to strip survival down to its essentials—so you focus on what truly matters when it counts.

Over two days, you’ll train hands-on and walk away with practical, real-world skills that could save your life—or someone else’s.

You’ll learn how to build shelters, make fire in any condition, purify water, navigate unfamiliar terrain, and stay mentally sharp when everything goes sideways.

What You’ll Learn

• First-aid techniques for survival situations

• How to build a fire in any condition

• Shelter construction using natural and kit materials

• Water purification and resource identification

• Survival mindset and situational awareness

• Basic land navigation and signaling for rescue

• Knife safety, tool use, and camp setup

• Introduction to edible and medicinal plants (season dependent)

  What You’ll Get

• Access to a primitive campsite. You do no have to stay overnight but class will start on time the following day. (included — no extra fee)

• Water provided on-site

• Use of tarps, saws, and other gear so you can try before you buy

• Two full days of hands-on, real-world instruction

This isn't a classroom course. You wont just sit and listen- you'll do the work. You’ll learn by building, practicing, and problem-solving in real conditions.

People often say, “That’s a lot for a weekend.”

But ask anyone who’s completed the course—they’ll tell you it’s worth every cent. You won’t find better training like this in Arkansas.
