Great course! - The teachers were awesome, super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. The course itself was great. It exceeded our expectations!! I came out of it learning a lot. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re just starting out in survival or back country camping or camping in general. You will not be disappointed.

First class, exceptional weekend! A++ - My young son and I had the pleasure to attend the Two Day Survival course, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I suspect the previous reviewer who gave negative feedback was having a bad day (and/or didn’t bother to read any of the information provided ahead of time on the course), as everything about this course was enjoyable and well organized. Marc was extremely informative, approachable, and able to answer all questions our group (of 6, 3 groups of 2) posed of him. The location was splendid, breakfast, lunch and dinner delicious (love those honey garlic sausages), and all the training sessions a lot of fun! We couldn’t recommend this course enough to people of all ages who want to learn some basic survival skills, apply them in real time, and have a lot of fun!

Don't waste your money - Don't waste your money. Marc is very friendly and fun to chat with however, he did not book us a spot on the long weekend and driving around to find a spot was very inconvenient since we had to drive ourselves and it was wasting our time. The provided food was wet sandwiches and pasta ☹ and the group felt Marc didn't really know enough to be teaching a survival course. He couldn't answer some very basic questions and we were all beginners. I think we all came away feeling this was not worth nearly $300 and we certainly could've done something better with our money.
