Due to popular request we are finally putting together several topics that we have been teaching to private groups and making it available to the public. This course is not open to persons under the age of 18. This course will stress you mentally and physically. If you suffer from anxiety issues, we offer others courses that will provide you with similar skills but without the stress. In this course participants will learn the fundamentals of each piece of the S.E.R.E puzzle.
Survive
Participants will learn on-the-move survival tactics which are unlike our typical wilderness survival course work. This will include doing the survival portions with minimal kit items while maintaining a low profile
Evade
This will include camouflaging, mantracking and counter tracking for low-profile movement in a wilderness environment
Resist
This will include both armed and unarmed combat tactics. No live ammunition will be utilized in this course (seek other qualified companies for live fire coursework). We will however work through effective grappling (standing and ground), edged and improvised weapons
Escape
This will include map and compass, covert and overt signaling, and communications
We are purposely leaving the specifics of this class vague as they need to be done that way to give you the training you need. However, here are some comments from previous class participants:
Person 1 - "I’ve tried to keep my training up to par since I left the military. I’m glad that I found a group of instructors that are humble in their skill set but care enough to learn their students and make it challenging for each individual based on their backgrounds. Thank you guys for allowing me to step up again in life and be a leader in these type of situations. The test made me feel proud that I could be the main leader to a group of ppl from all backgrounds and skill sets and help them succeed in accomplishing their mission and to keep them safe. Makes me feel good when it comes to keeping my family safe in these strange and wonderful times. Thank you gentleman again."
