A week or so ago we had a basic basic basic woodland survival class

(pics on page 2)
We went over basic gear and basic land nav.
There has been some intrest in doing an overnight class that is more of a formal class on pricate wooded land or something in the central Indiana area ish.
We would go over shelter building, food rationing, water collection, fire building (need to find an area that allows this), hand's on everything including land nav... all sort's of stuff.
The goal would be to at the very least have people go out and do some land nav in the wood's on their own, build their own shelter's ect ect.
We should also be able to get into what to do to make it easier for searchers to find you or for you to find a friend or family member that you became sperated from.
E5Ranger375 and I will be doing this.
My background,
3 seperate National Woodland SAR school's, past team leader, VHF/UHF/HF radio comm classes, not long ago I was in charge of all woodland SAR operations for central Indiana (for the national SAR organization that I was with that does nearly all of inland SAR mission's in the US), back in 01-02 I was one of the Woodland SAR instructor's for all of Oklahoma (for the SAR organization I was with), many real life mission's and or training exercises under my belt (to many to count).
I think everyone know's Ranger's background but he can post it up if he want's to.
We would also like to do it in an area that family can come and stay in tent's and not have to ruff it as much.
Post if you would be interested in this from a Friday to Saturday and what you woul want to learn.
This class would be very good for those that are serious camper's and hike off the trail's.
Ranger and I are going to try and get together soon and get some stuff put in stone on what we want to teach and welcome your thought's and ideas.
Ranger and I reserve the right to deny any training that we choose, in other word's if you ask to learn about a particular subject it is our choice on if we are willing to teach it or not.
The below is also added in a below post but I will put it here also,
Breif description of class topic's.
Shelter building, how to build one from scratch or using a poncho, what area's to build a shelter and the area's not to build a shelter.
Land Nav, compass reading, how to shoot an azimuth, how to oreintate the map and how to read one, how to tracel and back track using a compass
Clothing, what work's, what does not.
Gear, what to pack and not pack and what you can ditch if you have to, how to pack light and everything for different pack's, 24hr/72hr/beyond.
Food, what is worth having, what you should not have
Fires, how to build them, what wood to look for, how to keep them going again if it look's like the fire is out.
Survival, how to survive, how to make it easier for search team's to find you
Small game, traping, havesting, cooking (again if you have some adult rabbit's that you can dontate please PM E5Ranger375)
Basic first aid practices (spint making, stretcher making, basic injury treatment).
