Survival demands more than luck; it demands calories. Securing nutritional, edible, and palatable food in the wild requires a deep understanding of the landscape, the animals that dwell within it, and the ability to build simple, repeatable systems that yield results. Wild Protein is a five-day field course focusing on practical, proven methods for collecting essential calories from the natural world, how to process small game, and how to prepare our meals over a fire or preserve them. Students will master the construction of fish basket traps, gillnets, snares, and other small game traps, utilizing both materials found on the landscape and resources from their survival kit. In addition, we will learn various methods to preserve meat in the wild alongside preparing our food for consumption over coals and classic avenues.

Instruction emphasizes hands-on learning and real world application. Participants will gain a brief understanding of animal sign, selecting productive locations for sets, and understanding how water systems, terrain, and seasonal patterns influence success. The course also includes a brief introduction to wild edible plants that can aid in nutrition when protein and fat are scarce. By the end of the program, students will walk away with practical skills in primitive fishing, trapping, preservation, and meal preparation.

Women’s Primitive Survival 101 is a course directed towards women of all ages to encourage more female participation in the field of wilderness adventure. Students from all skill levels are welcome and no experience is required. Whether you are a proclaimed survivalist, a weekend bushcrafter, a homesteader, an ultralight hiker, or just a general everyday “wild woman,” this class is designed to promote a sense of community through our shared love of nature. Wildcard Wilderness leads all women’s courses to promote strong social bonds, provide a supportive environment that aids in inclusivity and leadership, and to build skills that promote empowerment and confidence both within ourselves and out in the “wild unknown.” 

 Over the duration of this course, we will learn to take care of our immediate needs in wilderness survival as we discuss survival priorities such as fire, shelter, and water procurement with the use of both modern and primitive tools. We will learn how to replace our kit-based items and return to the landscape to build fire by friction, create a cutting edge, and make various tools that aid in the transition from surviving to thriving. Together we will go on a “woodland walk” to procure various plant-based resources that aid in firecraft, medicine, food, and other utilitarian needs like cordage. Students will also develop skills in primitive food procurement methods like building traps for fish and woodland game.

Other topics will include safety, hygiene, and the “survival mentality” as we learn to push past fears and unlock deep connections with nature. This class is for participants who desire to both learn and grow, as well as how to develop a sense of resilience through self-reliance in both community and as individuals in the wild.
