Re: Survival Training

A lot depends on your budget (time and $) as well as crew attitude (avoid or interested). Email me off-list if you want with your climate etc and I'll throw something together for you to look at.

We were hoping to get into a helo dunker and focus on water survival this year, however we have been unable to get access to the dunker so we will probably have land survival training again. I am looking for ideas from different programs.

After which, we were blindfolded and led into the woods in groups of 4 to 5.  Each group carried a radio for emergencies and had a task list (build a shelter, start a fire, collect wood, etc).  When we were called on the radio to return to base the compass navigation came into place utilizing a map with our location marked and our destination.
