Level 1 Survival Foundations
Learn the Skills That Keep You Alive When Comfort Disappears
Arkansas Survival School’s Level 1 Course is designed to strip things back to the essentials — so you learn what really matters when the world goes quiet.
Over two days, you’ll train hands-on and walk away with real skills that could save your life or someone else’s.
You’ll build shelters, make fires, purify water, navigate terrain, and understand how to think clearly when everything goes sideways.
You’ll learn:
How to build a fire in any condition
Shelter building using natural/kit materials
Water purification and resource finding
Survival mindset and situational awareness
Basic land navigation and signaling for rescue
Knife safety, tool use, and camp setup
You’ll get:
Primitive campsite access (included — no extra fee)
Water provided on site
Access to our tarps, our saws, and other gear so you can try before you buy
Two full days of real-world, hands-on instruction
You won’t just be sitting in a classroom. You’ll be doing the work — learning how to survive, not just talk about it.
2 Days. One Skillset You’ll Never Forget.
People say, “That’s a lot for a weekend.”
But ask anyone who’s finished this course — they’ll tell you it’s worth every cent.
This isn’t YouTube. This is you, in the field, under pressure, learning by doing.
You’ll leave with the confidence to handle yourself in the wild — and the mindset that separates survivors from statistics.
Cost is $300. Children 13-17 is $150 with paying adult.
