Wilderness Skills Courses
At Southeast Wilderness we offer a variety of specialized one-day wilderness skills courses that take place throughout the year at times best suited to each skill. The study of wilderness skills and wilderness survival does come with it's hazards, and some courses involve the use of sharp knives, so these courses are open to adults only. Special courses can be arranged for minors, but parents must be present, and in both cases there will be paper work for each person to fill out and sign prior to taking the course. Custom courses are also available by special request.

The forests of the Southeastern US are teaming with plant life. There are some common plants that are essentially inconsequential to your travels, there are plants that are beneficial, there are plants that are mildly harmful if touched, and there are plants that look much like common everyday plants that are actually highly toxic if consumed by humans.
The more of the plant life around you that you learn to positively identify, the more you empower yourself and raise you level of self confidence in a wilderness environment. And the less likely you are to have a mishap or a bad encounter, that can turn you day of hiking in the woods into a true adventure, and possibly an all out race against time
