USAFland survival school consisted of 1 - 2 weeks in evasion, resistance, and
escape training, and a week total on wilderness survival techniques. The week was spent in class and on a four day camp/trek experience The trek included evading the "enemy" and spending time with . If you got captured, you supposedly went back the the beginning of the trek and started over. The trek was rigorous enough that people died from time to time. The "campout" was mostly shelter building, familiarization with edible vegetation, and butchering and cooking a white domestic bunny in the event you were able to trap or snare some meat. The emphasis was on non firearm use because even if you had firearms, you'r eventually run out of ammo. The jungle and arctic schools also spent some time on edible veggies and shelter. In my mind, the majority of time was focused on not getting caught or lost, and conduct it you were caught, not living off the land. Steve WILDERNESS survival in peacetime is different from survival behind enemy lines in time of war. Someone ought to tell the military survival school instructors, then, because they are teaching people the wrong stuff. How so? Don't they teach both? I'm sure that they must...I've had numerous military 'survival school' courses, Arctic, Winter-bush, Summer, Summer-bush, Sea-survival. None of them even mentioned the Enemy (other than panic is your enemy) ![]() -- -Gord. |
