Midwest Outdoor Survival Academy MOSA

Join us for an exciting weekend, immersing yourself in nature,
for introductory classes in wilderness survival. Learn the sacred
order of survival: how to construct shelter, make fire, prepare water,
and find food.

To survive in the wilderness, finding and constructing shelter is essential.
In this course you will learn how to select a good shelter site and how to
construct a warm and dry primitive shelter.

Tired of watching all the frustrated Survivors try to make fire? Learn to
make fire using a bow drill. Learn the basics of building a fire pit,
finding good fuel, and constructing a variety of fires.

Without water, dehydration can set in very rapidly. Learn how to find and
prepare water in order to make it drinkable. Participants will learn how to
make primitive drinking vessels and how to boil water using primitive techniques.

Find, identify, and prepare edible and medicinal plants. Learn how to identify
animal habitats, create simple traps and snares. Basic hunting and tracking
techniques will be taught, as well as identification of different animals based on
their tracks and other signs of their passing.

Emphasis throughout the course will be placed on working in harmony with nature. This
course will greatly enhance your ability to appreciate and feel comfortable in a
wilderness environment by increasing your confidence and awareness.

Groups of 5 or more can reserve a private MOSA session.
