The title says it all.
Are there any good survivalist training instructor in the Atlanta area? I would like to go out for a long weekend or something and learn the basics and how to use the equipment properly. I did a Google search, but was looking for some recommendations from people in the know. Thanks. |

What equipment? A bare minimum survival kit is a knife, some cord, and a way to start a fire... Have you ever killed and cleaned small game or chickens? Made a shelter from available materials in the woods? Built a fire using materials other than matches or lighters? All of these are "survival skills" that can easily be learned. |

Take your toys camping with you. After a few days you start to find what works for you and what doesnt.
Find a friend who hunts to teach you how. This guy can show you a few things Be prepared to drink yer own piss |

I haven't been camping in 20 years and would like someone to teach me some basic techniques such as fire starting, shelter making and navigation. Things you don't typically learn camping with the family in a KOA |

Look up the Benton Mckaye trail.
Search on the survival forum for how to create a bug out bag. eta, link to BOB Search on YouTube for ways to make fire Drive to trail, stay with in a Mike of your car Plan for one night the first time Plan for two nights the second time And just try out what you have learned. Try to learn a few things each time. My personal favorite is a fire piston just because I think the concept is cool. While in Sweden one trip I successfully made fire with a leg bone I found a chunk of ice. Found out how to do that on YouTube as well |
