Course Series Overview
Survival, to Grandfather and to me, is a philosophy unto itself. With years of living close to the earth, without the umbilical cord of society, I understand a certain "oneness" that only knowledge of suvival can bring. When I think of modern man entering the wilderness, I see a scenario much like an astronaut landing on the moon. So also when man enters the woods. He carries with him his backpack full of provisions, a sort of lifeline back to society. Both the man on the moon and the man in the woods are severely dependent on that lifeline; life without it would mean certain death. There is also a further insulation from the earth by heavy clothing and shoes, outer garments and tents; all to "protect" man from the spleindid forces of nature. And their fears of being separated from the lifeline, whether conscious or not, keeps them close to the burdens of life. Survival is more than just and insurance policy. With the practice of survival one begins to relax into the earth, to learn its rhythms, to blend in balance and harmony with all things.

Course Description
Based on one of Tom’s upcoming books, this class will go into the use of survival techniques in our modern world. It will teach you how the primitive survival techniques and philosophies you have been learning in your other classes can be applied to family life, friendships, staying in great physical shape, business, spirituality, and so on. Yes, this class will become a proving ground for many of the techniques Tom will be writing about in his book, but it will press far beyond and above the levels that any book can reach.
