Another class graduated yesterday from the US Forest
Service/OutdoorSafe Inc. Survival and Navigation training program. Seventy-two hours of intense training
in the methods of surviving an unexpected night out followed by seventy-two hours
learning how to use a map, compass and the Global Positioning System to
navigate around the back country effectively. After five days the students walked away from the US
Forest Service Heritage Center, Huson, Montana much better equipped to enjoy the
outdoors and to survive in it should the need arise.
Here's what they said about the training:
"Very good course. Teaches real world, practical skills."
"Very good training. Used simple techniques that anyone can learn and use."
"Fantastic. A very practical program which will save your life.!"
"Great. A lot of practical application."
